Reports for the OBSIDIAN team — open the inbox of reports in Settings → Support, mark spam or scam, or remove the group entirely.
If you're the creator of one or more groups and you delete your account, the app asks you to either transfer each group or delete it. Nothing is left orphaned.

The small "OBSIDIAN" caption under @username on the main chat list also got readable.

V.0.3.40 Released 2026-05-27

A small hint under the password field on the sign-in screen — for accounts protected by email, you need to append the 8 characters from the latest email after your own password.
The error when sign-in fails is now specific — if only the server part is off, the app tells you exactly that, instead of a generic "wrong password".

V.0.3.39 Released 2026-05-26

Forgot your password? Reset it through email — we'll send a 6-digit code to the address linked to your account, and you'll set a new password right in the app.

V.0.3.38 Released 2026-05-26

Two ID-regeneration modes — "Change ID" (old code stops working for new contacts; existing chats keep going) or "Vanish from all" (you disappear from every personal chat: messages, attachments, calls go with you; you keep everything; the chat returns to a contact when you message them first).
App opens without an internet connection — no login prompt if you were already signed in.
Slim "No connection" indicator at the top when network drops.
Messages sent without connection wait in a queue and go out on their own when signal returns.

New blocking — pick between "Block" (mutual mute, both keep the chat and attachments) or "Vanish" (you disappear from them entirely with the whole conversation; you keep everything)
Returning after Vanish lets you restore the chat for them or start fresh — a brand new empty conversation
In a blocked chat, the message bar is replaced with a clear lock card explaining the state, with a one-tap action to unblock or return
Calls and forwards now respect blocks too — no more sneaking through the side door
Settings → Privacy: blocked list shows the type next to each contact and offers the right action right there
