In version 1.8 of Tact, we are bringing you an input field with new looks and encrypted posting.

Fresh input field

Tact now features an updated input field in chat. It floats above the content and has refined look and feel, making it more compact and giving your chats the space to flow across the entire screen. Input field is also updated for edit mode and when you attach images or files to your messages, consistently on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Encrypted posting

Your messages are now stored in iCloud in encrypted form. The images and files that you share on Tact were always encrypted, but this now applies to the messages as well.

For additional security, you may choose to enable Advanced Data Protection on your iCloud account. Apple offers this setting to users who need the highest levels of data protection assurance. Under certain conditions, it means that your Tact data in iCloud, as well as data from other apps, may be end-to-end encrypted, so that no one else but you and people you communicate with have any access to it in any form, not even Apple.

We have previously published a technical blog post about Tact and Advanced Data Protection with more analysis and details.
