Zappy v1.4.7

What's New

  • Hardened the bot so it only handles private WhatsApp chats and ignores groups, status, broadcasts, and newsletters.
  • Removed operational WhatsApp group alerts.
  • Improved TikTok and Instagram video download handling with stricter MP4 output, upload-size limits, retries, and safer yt-dlp update attempts.
  • Prevented oversized or unknown media from being sent as generic .bin files.
  • Added sticker metadata: Sticker created with Zappy BOT 🤖 by @nycolazs.
  • Added clearer runtime logs for bot start/stop, missing WhatsApp sessions, WhatsApp bridge state changes, and startup failures.
  • Kept diagnostics in the Logs screen instead of adding extra status cards to Home.

Previous v1.4.6 Highlights

  • Added an Automation setting to enable or disable the one-time first-message welcome.
  • The bot now respects the welcome setting before sending or recording first-contact welcomes.
  • Added a Room migration so existing installs keep the welcome enabled by default.

Previous v1.4.5 Highlights

  • Renamed the project and app to Zappy.
  • Added a one-time first-message welcome with basic commands in the selected bot-message language.
  • Fixed relative published dates from YouTube search results so values such as há 6 anos are localized with the bot-message language.
  • Updated the README with clearer setup, command, operation, and development guidance.
  • Removed the old sticker slash commands from public usage; private-chat images are still converted to stickers automatically.

Previous v1.4.4 Highlights

  • Added public Instagram and TikTok video URL downloads through /v <url>.
  • Added automatic private-chat image-to-sticker conversion, disabled in groups.
  • Improved sticker conversion so image proportions are preserved.
  • Fixed repeated update downloads by reusing the already downloaded APK.
  • Updated bot messages so user-facing bot replies follow the selected bot-message language.
  • Added MIT license and README support links.

Previous v1.4.3 Highlights

  • Added a WhatsApp Blocklist in Settings with a modern add/remove number interface.
  • Blocklisted numbers are ignored by the bot without disconnecting WhatsApp.
  • Fixed bottom navigation page syncing.
  • Improved dark mode system bar icon contrast.
  • Improved bot-message language handling for all listed languages.

Previous v1.4.2 Highlights

  • Blocked bot startup until WhatsApp has a saved linked-device session.
  • Auto-start on boot now skips startup when WhatsApp is not paired or connected.
  • Fixed update checking/downloading so network work runs off the Android main thread.
  • Fixed bot-message language so search results, status labels, download captions, and user-facing errors follow the selected bot language.

Previous v1.4.1 Highlights

  • Added GitHub release update checking from the About card.
  • When a newer APK is available, the app downloads it and opens the Android installer.
  • If Android blocks APK installs from this app, it opens the required permission screen.
  • The app is now locked to portrait orientation.

Notes

Android does not allow a normal app to replace itself silently. The updater automates checking and downloading, then Android requires the user to confirm installation.

Previous v1.4.0 Highlights

  • App language and bot message language default to the Android system language.
  • Unsupported system languages fall back to English.
  • Redesigned Settings and improved light/dark theme colors.
