+
+The Briar Project [released version 1.3](/download) of its Android app today.
+Thanks to support from [eQualit.ie](https://equalit.ie/), this release adds several new features that have been requested by many users over the years. 
+
+With today's release, users can upload profile pictures that will be visible only to their contacts. 
+
+Lots of people have asked for a way to send images via Briar. We listened! This release adds the ability to send images in private conversations. 
+Images are still heavily compressed, so high resolution images might show pixel artifacts.
+
+Also, disappearing messages are now available in private conversations. 
+Users can set a timer on their messages, and they will be automatically deleted when the timer expires. 
+We hope this feature will go a long way towards improving users' privacy, especially for people communicating in high-risk areas. 
+
+To improve the user experience, the settings screen has been re-organized and split into sub-screens. The redesign creates space for the user's profile picture, and the improved categorization into sub-screens makes it easier to find specific settings.
+
+Work on the next big release is already underway. Among other things, the team is working on a way to exchange messages over storage media (SD card or USB stick) as well as sharing the app offline.

+### About Briar
+
+Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists,
+and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate.
+Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram,
+Briar doesn't rely on a central server -
+messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices.
+If the internet's down,
+Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.
+If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users
+and their relationships from surveillance.
