What's New in SocialMesh

1.59.0

August 25, 2026

MESSAGE FORMATTING - Write bold, italic, strikethrough, code and links from a new formatting toolbar, using the same markers as the official Meshtastic apps. Bubbles render styled text, monospaced code and tappable links. EVERY RADIO KEEPS ITS OWN DATA - Messages, nodes, favourites, telemetry, routes, NodeDex entries, waypoints and the mesh feed are now stored per radio. Connecting a second radio shows that radio's mesh, and switching back restores the first - history is no longer wiped when you switch. - Existing data is sorted to the right radio automatically on first launch. - New Radio Data screen (Settings > Data & Storage) shows what each radio has stored and deletes what you no longer need. - Direct messages no longer invent contacts after a switch, and channel history no longer merges across radios. NODEDEX - NodeDex now has its own bottom bar: NodeDex, Map and Groups live as tabs in one place, and the map keeps its position between visits. CONNECTION RELIABILITY - Radios stuck on "Configuring" now heal themselves: the app re-sends the config request, keeps retrying on a widening schedule, and performs a bounded clean reconnect instead of waiting for Bluetooth to drop. - Going out of range and back no longer blocks sending until a manual reconnect. - Occasional unreadable packets over a long session no longer force a disconnect. - Tapping a renamed saved radio in Devices now always connects. MESSAGES - Sending a maximum-length encrypted direct message no longer fails with "Message too large": the counter now budgets for encryption overhead and counts UTF-8 bytes. - Messages composed while disconnected are no longer lost if the app restarts first; they show as failed with a retry button, and queued sends wait for the radio to finish configuring. - Messages the radio pulls from an MQTT broker are labelled MQTT correctly. - Reactions in busy channels are no longer dropped when several members react with the same emoji at once. - The Contacts and Channels tabs remember their view style independently. NOTIFICATIONS - Tapping notification after notification no longer stacks copies of the same screen. - Taps that previously did nothing now open the right place: message and node summaries, sensor triggers, shared waypoints, TAK events, NodePet alerts, firmware notices, MeshCore adverts, SIP messages and game turns, and bug-report replies. - The iOS app icon badge updates the moment a message arrives in the background. - A new "Automation alerts" switch can silence automation notifications, and "node silent" alerts fire once per silent stretch instead of every few minutes. AUTOMATIONS AND NODES - Duplicate an automation with one tap; the copy starts disabled so it cannot double-fire. - Remove Node is now available from the long-press quick-actions sheet. STABILITY - Node names containing emoji or of excessive length can no longer crash the app, wherever they came from: live radio, NodeDex, cloud sync or the World Mesh API. - Battery charts no longer draw a false step at every reconnect. - NodePet and incident timestamps now show local time instead of UTC. - A missing profile image falls back cleanly instead of raising an error. - Databases opened before the phone's secure keystore is ready are retried instead of failing for the whole launch.

Core features

Really like app but core features not as reliable as in official one. App loosing position datapoints on backflip after each reconnect, long sync on all open. Waiting for MeshCore integration.

Still using official app in field

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! MeshCore integration is coming soon and will address the issues you’ve mentioned. Appreciate you sticking with SocialMesh!

Awesome stuff!

I was getting extremely frustrated with the UI in the Meshtastic app, to the point where I almost gave up on Meshtastic completely. But SocialMesh saved the day and completely changed my experience! Ended up paying the $9.99 for the upgraded experience, and it was worth every penny to me. But even the free version is a huge step-up from the official Meshtastic app. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thank you so much. This genuinely made our day. SocialMesh started from wanting to make the Meshtastic experience simpler and more enjoyable, so hearing that it completely changed the experience for you means a lot. We really appreciate the support.

Charged twice for complete pack!

I like the app but I got charged initially $9.99 for the complete pack and then a few days later another charger went through for $10.71. It appears the first charge was bogus. Not sure what’s going on here but there doesn’t seem to be a recourse here except to dispute the charge on the credit card. Not happy!!

Response from developer

Hi! We’d really like to investigate this for you. Please email support@socialmesh.app with a screenshot showing both charges, including their dates and whether they’re pending or completed. If you have an Apple receipt or transaction IDs, please include those too. We’ll look into exactly what happened.

Зависло чето, и больше не запускалось приложение. А еще время постоянно плавает по поясам

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв и за подробности. Зависание при запуске - серьёзная проблема, и мы как раз работаем над исправлениями стабильности запуска; часть уже вышла в 1.55.0, остальное выйдет в ближайшем обновлении. Пожалуйста, обновите приложение в App Store - обновление ставится поверх и не трогает ваши данные. Если после обновления приложение всё ещё не запускается, напишите на developer@socialmesh.app - разберёмся. По поводу времени, которое плавает по поясам: мы это проверяем. Если можете, пришлите на ту же почту пример - какое время показано у сообщения и каким оно должно быть. Это сильно ускорит поиск причины. Спасибо, что при всём этом поставили четыре звезды.

Response from developer

Thank you! MeshCore support is coming in the next few releases. Glad you’re enjoying SocialMesh! 🙌
