We were not showing the wallet service pubkey anywhere which is useful info. I also added an alert to show if the app is a legacy one or not. It's not a critical issue, but I think it's nice to know and be able to see.

I think for the average user most of the "connection info" is not important at all and confuses more than it helps, but we'll tackle that in a different issue.

What are the privacy implications of this shared pubkey exactly?

One client/app which knows the wallet pubkey can see activity across all clients that use the same pubkey. Although it's E2E encrypted, it still leaks metadata about what a single user has been doing. @frnandu was there another reason?

Okay, but for me that's not enough to justify urging users to re-create the connection, I think it's fine the way you implemented it 👍
