Now supporting only iOS 16 and above, minor code updates related to this change.

• We have quite a few background improvements in this update to provide better performance and error handling related to third party dependencies.
• We already don't track you in relation to this app, but we have improved the randomness around the ID values used to deliver chat messages to improve the privacy and security of our system overall.
