LiPa (https://lipa.swiss) stands for Lightning Payment. This is a wallet for payment, not just for transfers. The wallet exists in iOS version only. Now it is open in testflight mode.
The concept of the wallet is like one of Breez, Phoenix or Mutiny: you receive your first money and pay 5K sats for opening a channel. But then … you cannot do anything with your money except spending in a point of sales supporting LiPa. There is a “Send” button, but in my case the result of pressing it is very strange for a non-custodial wallet:
So, I may create invoices and receive payments via LN, I may pay to LiPa business users, but I am not allowed to send my money to anyone I want outside the LiPa ecosystem.
Be careful with this wallet. At least now, when it is still in testflight mode. Maybe, the devs are going to open the access to the “Send” button later, but now it’s absent, and you don’t know about this until you try to send sats.

Hey @international,
have you tried the 'pay' function? Here you can scan an LN invoice or paste one from the clipboard to "send" your sats to another wallet. The "send" option was indeed misleading. This is why it is gone now.
