And the app is noticeably faster.

Poster on MSE has reported interest rates for new customers back down to 0.35% again.
Have checked the Atom Bank website myself and see no such fact.
Still showing as 0.50% on the advert.
BUT, then look at the pdf document on rates and it does indeed show 0.35% wef from yesterday, 24.06.2021 
EDIT :
Ha! Website now showing 0.35%
It wasnât before 8am this morning.
Think someone tipped them off?

Iâm wondering if this is an indication that thereâs a rate change on the horizon anywayâŚ
Could be. But it nay also be an indication that theyâll get getting back soon with a message around having fixed the erroneous messaging!
(On a side note, that reply seemed a tad harsh 
. And iOS has FaceID already).
Doesnât sound harsh to me (unless youâve removed some text). My thinking was that they were possibly preparing an interest rate announcement and had accidentally released it early to some users.
I got four of these overnight. They are planning to increase the push notifications youâll receive on the instant saver. Currently, you only get notified when you receive interest and/or your statement. Youâll soon get them for deposits, withdrawals and rate changes. I suspect these erroneous notifications are in part due to these upcoming changes.

Not sure what you mean. From where?
Atomâs tweet was benign and pretty typical of an outfit that strives to do well and still struggles to get it right PR-wise.
The tweetâs reply appeared to suggest heâd been plagued by them.
Anyway, I wish them well. From hideous app to, eventually, one that works, albeit something that looks about 10 years old.
Ah - just seen this. Thatâs make sense.
Does it? How do I enable it?
The joke of a proprietary implementation isnât proper Face ID that people want, whatever they wish to call it.
Ignore me - I thought you were talking about your own reply here and hadnât read the replies to the original tweet (although I should have!).

Of course thatâs true (and as I use the passcode, Iâd forgotten the Atom version is that excruciating selfie).
So in summaryâŚâŚ
No it doesnâtâŚâŚ

I mean, Atomâs proprietary Face ID, including their naming for it, existed quite a bit before Appleâs.
You mean Atom came first?
Then we do them a disservice.
Yup. Atom launched their app in April 2016, with their proprietary Face ID and Voice ID. Cutting edge at the time, though First Direct werenât too far behind with voice. Apple were still using Touch ID, and Atom were promising to support Touch ID soon.
Apple launched the iPhone X in September 2017 with Face ID, a good 17 months after Atomâs Face ID had been on the market. Granted, it works so much better due to the sensor designed for it, whilst Atom is restricted to just the camera.
Personally I would like to see Atom adopt on device biometric sensors as the first line of security to enter the app. Reserve their own versions for those interactions in app that require that second authentication factor.

In a nutshell, rate increased by 0.15% today 
Donât spend it all at once guys!
Following their rate rise, Iâve been transferring some more into the instant saver. I canât remember whether they send you push notifications when money comes in or out - Iâm not getting any if they do.
I recently had my iPhone replaced and after transferring everything across wirelessly, Iâve had some oddities with notifications, so wondering whether itâs this or whether Atom doesnât actually do notifications for deposits/withdrawals.
The bulk of my emergency cash is elsewhere at a higher rate tbh.
Difference is still pence though tbf 
Chip is 0.7% and the interest is paid daily.
Not for new customers - only 0.61%.
