Address page

When you tap send, you first have to select the blockchain you're going to send money on. Then you arrive on the address page, here you have 3 buttons :

  • The button Scan will allow you to use your phone's camera to scan qrcodes encoding addresses.
  • The button Paste will, after asking for permission, paste whatever is on the clipboard.
  • The button Write will allow you to manually input the address.

Lynx has a builtin feature which can authenticate the integrity of addresses for some blockchains, if there is a typo in the address he will detect it and prevent you from going further. And with Bitcoin, he can even most of the time locate the typos. You can tap the error indicator to get a description of them.

In order to position cursor at a precise place in the address to correct a typo in iOS14+, you have to do a special gesture :

  • Long tap on the place where you want to change something
  • When the magnifying glass appears, you can either release your tap or move your finger around to place it somewhere else
