Advanced Privacy Mode, URIs, PIN Timeout, and More with Cake Wallet 4.5.3

December 14, 2022 · 2 min read

We are extremely excited to release Cake Wallet 4.5.3 and Monero.com 1.2.2 today for Android and iOS! We think you will really enjoy this update.

Highlights

This update adds new “Advanced Privacy Settings” on wallet startup, which allows you to disable the fiat API, disable the exchange, and add your own custom remote node so you never need to ping our servers at all!

We now include our official Monero Tor node in the node settings (which starts with cakexmr) so you can easily select it when using Orbot on Android or iOS.

We finally support URIs! You can now open payment links from other apps and from the camera app directly in Cake Wallet. When a URI is clicked. Cake Wallet will try to fill it in the last active wallet. We plan to further improve this functionality.

Contacts and wallets in the address book are now filtered by type. So if you open the address book in the send screen of a Monero wallet, it will now only show Monero addresses.

Monero nodes can be marked as trusted for faster syncing! Make sure you trust these nodes. This feature is disabled by default.
