Using the app

As there is a deeper integration with the contacts app, your journey should start there. Adding an ETH address or ENS name into a contact profile will enable special features within the messenger app.

To message someone, add them as a contact:

1 - Go to the Contacts app

2 - Enter a name & phone number, wallet address or ENS

3 - Save the contact

4 - Go back to ethOS Messenger & start messaging!

Messenger special features:

1 - The ability to send ETH directly while messaging someone. Just click the wallet icon next to your companions name, and if this contact has an ETH address in their contact, it will take you directly to the wallet manager to send.

2 - Sending a text message with the words "Send X.XX ETH" will prompt our system wallet to recognize this as a wallet send command & ask you to easily accept the amount to send! This can also be done on L2's by appending "Send X.XX ETH on OP" for example, to send eth on Optimism.

3 - Messaging contacts with ETH/ENS addresses turns text bubbles purple instead of the normal green.

4 - Texting on this phone will recognize crypto native words/phrases, discover them as you use it!
