Field notes
The page lays out a four-stage handoff, from sealing a message on the sender’s phone to forwarding it after a carrier regains internet access. It also describes nearby discovery without exchanging phone numbers, plus voice and video calls. The interface lists six languages—French, English, Swahili, Lingala, Kikongo, and Tshiluba—and identifies the test builds as available through TestFlight and Google Play.
