7.0

Important: The signing keys have changed, hence one must reinstall the app!

This release adds support for SMS/messages! To use that new feature, you must also grant it permissions to access SMS and make Connect You your default SMS app in the Android settings under Apps -> Default Apps. If you prefer to, you can still continue using Connect You for contacts only.
