80eight App — v2.5.0
88Pay Air, a rebuilt Add funds with card payments, a stronger wallet key path, and a sustained speed pass.
88Pay Air
- Splitting with one other person now goes out as a direct request for their share, rather than a collection with a single member — the same money, addressed the way the rail is built to address it.
Add funds and the card rail
- The ZAR deposit flow is rebuilt as Add funds , with card payments and instant ZAR pay-in behind it.
- A refused deposit shows you a way forward and returns the slide control, and a retry after a refusal is a genuinely new attempt rather than a reuse of a spent one.
- You land on your outcome and stay there , even if the return from your bank or card arrives twice.
Android sign-in
- Social sign-in on Android works. The callback from the sign-in provider is now claimed correctly on production builds, so Accept completes instead of hanging. The build itself now fails if that ever drifts again.
Security
- The wallet key path is rebuilt. Recovery-phrase generation now produces a full, standards-compliant BIP39 phrase with its checksum, and a phrase can no longer be captured by a screenshot or copied to the clipboard.
- Secrets on your device are protected at rest , what leaves the device is controlled, and a step-up confirmation is bound to the exact transaction it authorises.
- If you hold a recovery phrase generated by an earlier version of the app, generate and store a new one. You can do this from your wallet settings.
Speed
- A sustained pass over cold start, list rendering and animation — a smaller download, less work on the main thread, and screens that stop redrawing when nothing has changed. Live prices update without the app stuttering, and a screen you are not looking at stops polling until you return.
Money shown correctly
- USD amounts use the FX rate rather than a stablecoin cross, which had been adding a small premium to every dollar figure.
- A crypto PayLink asks for the crypto amount , not the rand figure.
- Saving financial details no longer overwrites the rest of your profile.
Also
- Sign-up is shorter — the username and profile-photo steps are gone.
- Support follows the same verification rules as the website , with a route out for customers who cannot verify.
