80eight App — v2.0.15
A faster, more polished 80eight — rebuilt for the road ahead.
This release brings a smoother, more premium app experience, easier identity verification, your choice of display currency, and a stronger, more secure foundation — with some big new ways to pay rolling out soon.
What's new
- A more premium feel. App-wide haptics, a refreshed "liquid glass" design, a signature launch sound, and slide-to-confirm on important actions — small touches that make 80eight feel fast and considered. (Haptics can be turned off and respect Reduce Motion.)
- See balances your way. View amounts in USD or ZAR across your wallet and the market — while your actual rand cash balance always stays clearly in ZAR.
- Smoother identity verification. A more flexible verification step that supports an additional provider, so getting verified is quicker and more reliable.
- Cleaner sign-in and onboarding. Friendlier error messages, improved country and date-of-birth pickers, and signing up now drops you straight into a working wallet.
- Stronger account security. Your session is now protected with hardware-backed device security, and you'll stay signed in more reliably with fewer surprise logouts.
- Faster, lighter, more reliable. Push alerts that stop mid-session now recover on their own and sign-out clears your notifications and badge; screens are faster and lighter, with smoother history scrolling, a redesigned receipt screen, and polish across the launchpad, drawer, and account menu.
Stronger safeguards & security
- Protection throughout. Strengthened account, payment, and on-device security across the app, including safeguards that help prevent duplicate or mistaken transactions.
- A modern foundation. Rebuilt on Expo SDK 55 with over-the-air updates, expanded automated testing, and a hardened build pipeline.
Coming soon
- Tap to pay people nearby. Find other 80eight users right next to you over Bluetooth and pay them with a tap — no QR codes or typing handles.
- Pay anyone, even off 80eight. Send to a phone number or email; they'll get your payment and can claim it after signing up.
- Personal pay links. Create and share payment-request links from your personal account, with rich previews when shared.
- In-store payments. A refreshed merchant cashier experience with scan-to-pay.
