Since launching, we have gotten a lot of very valuable feedback about Wire’s behavior and appearance. Today, we are rolling out Wire apps with a few new tricks and refreshed looks.
The biggest change is a new light look for conversations and profiles. It gives pictures, videos and sketches more air to breathe and makes the whole conversation easier to follow. It also addresses visibility issues when using Wire in bright daylight.
We’ve also switched to native system fonts across all platforms. This means better support for multiple languages and access to more advanced typographic features. On Apple’s iOS 9, Wire makes use of the freshly-released San Francisco typeface.
There are changes under the hood as well. The simpler look allowed us to optimize the app — the result is faster performance with a smoother feel.
The updated Android app is available today on Google Play Store. The iOS app will be available as soon as it is approved by Apple.
I hope you like the improvements and, as always, we are very thankful for any feedback. We are @wire on Twitter.
