 You can also update directly from within the Bisq app. If you experience any wallet issues, a SPV resync should resolve them, though no problems are expected. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Happy Xmas!
Bisq is experiencing issues related to a cumulative proof-of-work bug in BitcoinJ. An upstream fix exists but hasn’t yet been ported to our branch. We expected this issue to surface around March 2026, which turned out to be a miscalculation. We’re actively working on the fix and aim to release a new version soon. If you have open trades, please be patient—mediators and arbitrators will take this situation into account.

**Bisq Easy on Mobile** It’s never been easier to get Bitcoin — peer-to-peer and privacy-preserving over Tor. We’re happy to announce that Bisq Easy is now available for Android — both as an APK and on the Google Play Store.

 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.bisq.mobile.node **Full node in your pocket.** Your phone runs a P2P node over the Tor network — just like Bisq on desktop. Tor is fully integrated, no extra setup required. When the app goes into the background, network connectivity usually remains active for a while (depending on usage and system resources). If it disconnects, the app automatically reconnects within seconds when reopened. Why no iOS (yet)? Bisq is built in Java, which integrates easily with Android but not with iOS. A full rewrite for iOS would be a prohibitive effort. But stay tuned — we’re working on Bisq Connect, a companion app that acts as a “remote control” for your desktop or VPS-hosted Bisq node, also running over Tor. It will be available for both Android and iOS. Excited? Give it a try! We’d love your feedback — and if you find it useful, help spread the word.
Bisq Easy Mobile App — User Survey We are developing Bisq Easy mobile applications and would like to better understand your needs. Your feedback will help us optimize resource allocation and deployment strategy. --- Bisq Easy mobile apps will come in two modes: - Full Node Mode (Android only): Runs a full Bisq node directly on the device, connects over Tor, follows the same P2P network model as the desktop app, requires higher CPU, memory, and battery resources. - Light Client Mode (Android and iOS): A lightweight app that acts as a remote control for a hosted Bisq node, with minimal resource usage and no P2P networking on the mobile device itself. --- Why no mobile support for Bisq 1 MultiSig protocol? Resource demands and the need for makers to stay online make it impractical for mobile use. Bisq 1 will be replaced by Bisq 2 MuSig, offering better privacy and efficiency. However, even with MuSig, Full Node operation on mobile remains infeasible; only Light Client mode is realistic. --- Why Full Node mode is Android-only? Bisq is written in Java, which runs natively on Android but not on iOS. Rewriting the full node for iOS in Swift would require substantial effort. Additionally, Apple's restrictive App Store policies and Tor challenges on iOS make such an investment high risk. --- Why two modes? This two-mode approach ensures that both advanced and casual users are supported, giving users flexibility to prioritize privacy, decentralization, or usability. It also provides a feasible model to support a mobile experience on iOS. --- We want your input Please take our quick survey to help guide development priorities:
