I upgraded to 0.16 and tried to generate a bech32 address by clicking the request payment button with the "Generate bech32 address" checkbox checked however it simply generates an address starting with 1 and bnot with bc.

  • Is this a P2SH wrapped address?
  • If not, how do I generate a bech32 address?
  • If yes, how can I tell the addresses apart in my address book?
  • How is segwit visualized (if at all)? In the transaction screen I see nothing of the sort.

Thanks!
