Enhanced Security for Peace of Mind
Security is always a top priority, and in this release, we’ve implemented significant improvements to SSL/TLS validation.

We’ve also added “frostwire.com” to our list of trusted SSL domains and introduced dynamic validation for subdomains, making your connection even more robust and trustworthy.
Streamlined Performance with Memory Efficiency
We know how important it is for the app to run smoothly, especially on devices with limited resources. In this update, we’ve optimized the way FrostWire handles memory, particularly during search operations. The result? A faster, smoother experience that uses less memory, giving you a seamless experience regardless of your device’s capabilities.
User Interface Improvements
Finding and accessing content has never been easier. We’ve refined the placement of the FrostClick search within the app, making it more intuitive and accessible. This enhancement is designed to help you discover new content with minimal effort.
Squashing Bugs for Stability
No one likes crashes or errors, so we’ve been hard at work identifying and fixing potential issues. We’ve resolved several bugs that could lead to NullPointerExceptions and ClassCastExceptions, ensuring that the app remains stable and reliable during use.
Upgraded Core Components
To keep FrostWire up-to-date with the latest development practices, we’ve updated several core components. This includes moving to Gradle version 8.9 and upgrading libraries such as Kotlin and Firebase. These updates ensure that FrostWire not only runs more efficiently but also remains compatible with the latest Android developments.
What This Means for You
This latest version of FrostWire is all about providing a smoother, more secure, and more enjoyable experience. Whether you’re a long-time user or new to the app, we believe these enhancements will make FrostWire an even more indispensable tool for managing and enjoying your media.
