A notification asks for a moment of your attention. This version makes sure that moment lands somewhere useful: tap one, and you’re looking at exactly what it was about, nothing in between. And when you name something new, a beach day or a chess club, the emoji that shows up now understands what you meant, in French as much as in English.
A notification opens exactly what it’s about
Your intention and the reminder to check in on today’s board both open today’s board. A countdown or a birthday opens On the horizon, on the matching tab, and a thought from someone opens your thoughts. Every reminder now opens right into what it concerns, never an edit form along the way, a birthday reminder opens the list of the people you love, not a screen to edit their details. There’s no full screen ad in the way, and a tap waits quietly if you’re partway through the first run walkthrough. What it pointed to is still there when you come back.
Emoji that reads the whole name
A new event now picks up a suggested emoji the moment you name it, the way a new activity or a new Wishes category already did. The suggestion itself reads the whole name instead of latching onto one word, so “beach day” gives you a beach rather than a sun, and “chess club” gives you chess rather than a lone club symbol. French names get the same care, accents, elisions and hyphens included, so “l’anniversaire,” “déménagement,” and “rendez-vous médecin” all land where you’d expect. And when nothing really fits, you get a plain neutral emoji instead of a confident wrong one. A tax return no longer becomes a taxi.
Photos with a place, better placed
A picture on today’s board that isn’t tied to an activity or a person, and that you haven’t captioned yourself, now shows the place it was taken when you’ve given it one, flag included. A fan of pictures does the same, and a picture you’d already given a place to picks up its caption the next time you open that day.
Today’s board keeps the bottom clear
On a day that holds a lot, nothing gets arranged underneath the buttons along the bottom of the screen, or behind your phone’s own navigation bar, so the last thing you added stays as readable as the first. The board also scrolls a little further up, so anything resting low, including what you placed there yourself, can be pulled clear of the buttons.
A smoother everyday
A batch of smaller things settle into place too. Notifications behave after you restore a backup, import a file, or sign out, instead of resurfacing something old. Naming a chapter as you begin one now sticks, for the new chapter and the one you just closed. A birthday that’s arrived on today’s board shows the person’s photo, or their emoji when they have none, instead of a small drawn doodle. And a handful of small screens, choosing your date of birth, opening Premium from a limit message, the Android back button, picking up a form you were filling in, all now do what you’d expect.
None of this asks anything new of you. It just lands you where you meant to go, and reads you a little better along the way.
