Latest Updates
Unsent V1.3 Is Now Available
July 27, 2026
A clearer introduction, more comfortable text, and thoughtful refinements throughout.
Clearer from the start
A new introduction explains exactly what Unsent is for—and makes it clear that messages are never sent by Unsent or shared with us.
Easier on the eyes
Larger, more comfortable text throughout the app, with chat rows that adapt gracefully across different screens and text sizes.
A more thoughtful empty state
When no active chats remain because they’ve all been archived, the welcoming empty state returns while your archive remains close at hand.
Polish in the details
A smoother onboarding flow, more reliable animations, refined launch branding, and quieter improvements throughout.
Version 1.2 July 24, 2026
A proper welcome
A beautiful new introduction brings the idea behind Unsent to life. Existing users can experience it anytime from Settings → View the Intro Again.
All-new avatars
Give each chat a photo, choose from more than 1,900 emojis, or explore a searchable collection of symbols.
Categories, your colours
Create custom categories in ten colours, then rename, recolour, or remove them from the new category manager.
Contact profiles
Tap the name at the top of any chat to see its profile, category, message history, and editing options in one place.
A more precise Danger Zone
Clear only your messages, delete your chats, or erase everything. Each choice is separate and carefully confirmed.
Easier on the eyes
Enjoy a softer light appearance, a deeper purple-black dark appearance, and a polished glass-inspired design throughout.
Available on more devices
Unsent now supports iOS 18.6 and later, with an experience designed to feel at home on both classic iOS and the latest Liquid Glass interface.
Sturdier underneath
Failed saves are handled more safely, drafts are better protected, and many smaller reliability improvements help keep your writing intact.
Version 1.1 July 8, 2026
Smoother conversations
Chats now open, scroll, and follow new messages more reliably. Long messages and message actions also behave more naturally.
Stronger privacy protection
The app lock now works more reliably with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, and your writing is hidden from the app-switcher preview when protected.
Safer deletion
Deleting a chat now asks for confirmation, while larger deletion actions handle drafts and open conversations more carefully.
Clearer when something goes wrong
Unsent now provides better feedback when an action cannot be completed instead of failing silently.
A refreshed identity
A new app icon, launch screen, accent colour, message timestamps, and refined chat design give Unsent a more distinctive home.
More reliable categories
Category colours and assignments now remain consistent when updating, editing, or reopening the app.
Version 1.0 · Original release June 18, 2026
A private place for unsent words
Create a chat for a person, a memory, or a version of yourself, then write everything you need to say without sending it.
Organize thoughts your way
Pin important chats, archive conversations you are finished with, and use categories to keep different kinds of thoughts together.
Pick up where you left off
Drafts stay available when you leave a conversation, so unfinished thoughts can wait until you are ready.
Find your words again
Search across your chats and messages whenever you want to revisit something you wrote.
Keep it personal
Everything is stored on your device, with appearance options and an app lock available for additional privacy.
Your private space for unspoken words.
