GreenAddress wallet rebrand to Blockstream Green

[bL4nkcode]

I used green address long time ago but never used it until such time but it still installed on my phone.
I was searching for some mobile wallet in play store and some wallet was recommended first, and it's totally new to me until I open it and I was a bit shocked that there's no install button just uninstall and open, so that means its already installed on my phone.
I check the apps on my phone if the wallet is existing but never saw the same logo as what I see on PS, so I'm thinking that my device is infected, but there's nothing bad happened since then. So, I check the app again in PS, I saw the green word on its name, so I'm thinking its familiar wallet, so by reading its details and see the updated the branding which is they really rebranded the wallet.  

I tried to update the wallet and it really looks cool IMO. They have added some features too.

So, to those greenaddress users, how do you react and what are your thoughts about its new branding.

I used GreenAddress wallet on my Android device and did not update it.
The wallet is well synchronized with my computer. I have not received any notifications for the update even though it works [send & receive.]

Overall I entered Google play and found the update:

 - The new design is wonderful. They worked perfectly well.
 - Some services are still up-to-date but the update is fairly excellent.

Sorry for bumping this.
When I try to log in "using Log-in,"[1] the app keeps showing the search circle with no results.
The app only works when I clear cash data and then re-enter the application "without back to log-in page."

Green now supports Liquid Network which is still less popular than the Lightning Network. Also, Ledger Nano X is now supported (only USB connection). Personally, I am going to replace Samoraui with this wallet. It supports only legacy and nested SegWit addresses but it can display fiat balance unlike Samourai which ditched it.

I just tried to install it on my iPhone 6s, sadly it doesn't work on any firmware version which is below ios11. Ios10 is the most stable os for iphone 6/6s devices imo. Sad news. Don't know if its worth updating my firmware for this wallet.

Just so you all know that Greenaddress is still available to be used in its Greenaddress persona as a desktop app and through the browser at https://greenaddress.it/en/

I have been using it since mid 2018 and even though it's deprecated, it is still reliable. Make sure you back up the mnemonic though.

Not really sure if Liquid network ever becomes popular, but nice to know it has adepts.
But why you're about to switch from Samurai to Green? Fiat balance or segwit support?

I eventually gave up that idea. At first, I thought that it would nice to have the fiat balance back. I still think that removing it from the Samourai wallet was a terrible decision. There aren't any shops in my local area that accept Bitcoin so the only thing I am using a mobile wallet for is selling some of my coins to Bitcoin ATM. It generates invoices automatically, so I don't have to input any data manually. That's why I decided to stick to Samoraui for now. Both Green and Samourai support SegWit, so why do you ask then?

Sorry put myself wrong, I meant fiat balance *with segwit support
May I wonder if you tried any other wallets that show fiat balance as well?

Any one knows if exporting private keys is available in the new update?
I had stored some bitcoin in my wallet and till now I couldn't have access to my Bitcoin Cash as my account was a 2of2 account. I always hope a new update releases a day and I can have access to those Bitcoin Cash.

Yeah, I did. The ones I tried are: Electrum, Blockchain (only because of the XLM airdrop), Green Wallet, Mycelium, Coinomi, Eclair Mobile, Lightning. The two last wallets are strictly focused on the Lightning Network, but they can be also used as normal wallets with very limited features. Most of them have terrible UI. Currently, I am using Eclair Mobile for the Lightning Network and Samourai if I need to spend coins on the go. I also bought a Ledger Nano X for that purpose, but it turned out to be faulty, so I am going to return it.

There is no such option. You should be able to convert your mnemonic passphrase into a private key using a third party software, though. Edit: Ah, I didn't see the 2of2 part. Check out this tool.
