# Zebra V2: Back in Stripes

## Why Was Zebra V1 Sunset? 

As many of you already know, we moved away from the Signal fork and decided to rebuild Zebra entirely from scratch — using only our own code.

Zebra is our flagship product, and unlike apps built on top of third-party APIs or forked logic, it’s a fully independent messaging platform. That means new features take time — but it also means **no compromises**.\

We’re committed to delivering a smooth, reliable, and privacy-first experience.\
Thanks for sticking with us as we continue to improve it!<br>
