What's New in theSHFT

9.5.2

October 18, 2026

This update makes calls and messaging more dependable. You can answer a call right away when theSHFT is locked with Face ID or a PIN, even from the lock screen. Your story picture now shows the SHFT look you picked. New contact requests show up right after you restart your phone. A message you send with no signal now shows Not sent, then goes out when you are back online. Photos open more reliably in your first chats after you restore your account. The Group created card no longer hides behind the keyboard. A message you already opened stays readable if it arrives a second time. View once photos in groups stay view once, and view once messages can no longer be forwarded.

Thank you! Privacy and discretion are exactly why theSHFT exists. We're glad it's what you were looking for.

Great app

Absolutely love this app. The hidden calculator idea is clever, and it works just like a normal calculator while keeping my private chats out of sight.

It’s easy to use, looks clean, and has been really smooth with no crashes or issues. If you want a simple way to keep some conversations private, this is an easy 5 stars.
