 ### Fixes
 
 * Fix: leaving a community now purges uploaded and downloaded files; if the leave is interrupted (process killed, OS-terminated, power loss), the purge is finished on the next app launch [#3225](https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/issues/3225)
+* Fixed settings section titles rendering inside the scrollable content; moved section titles to the settings header and added a regression test to prevent future regressions [#2568](https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/issues/2568)
 * Fixed android not requesting permission for foreground push notifications [#3254](https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/issues/3254)
 * Fixes race condition with android push notifications [#3255](https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/issues/3255)
 * Mark IOS UI as needing compatibility updates to fix contrast problems on IOS 26 [#3266](https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet/issues/3266)
