Help and feedback:

When you tap Send Feedback, Sift opens your default mail app with a draft addressed to support. The draft includes your Sift version, iOS version, device model identifier (e.g. iPhone16,2), locale, and whether Sift Plus is active. That context that helps us reproduce issues. You can review or remove anything before sending; nothing leaves your device unless you tap Send.
