This release brings improvements to GIF and video sharing, a smoother survey experience, better start-screen reliability, and several fixes for sharing and uploading content across social platforms and email.
Sharing & Social Media
- Improved video sharing to Twitter — videos now upload as MP4 files instead of GIFs, and the UI remains responsive during the upload
- Fixed an issue where videos uploaded to YouTube would be uploaded a second time when reopened from the browse screen, resulting in broken email links
- Resolved an issue where GIF and Boomerang files failed to send via email
- Fixed a crash that could occur when sharing to Twitter after a Boomerang session
- Sharing confirmation messages now correctly identify whether a photo, animation, or video was shared
Performance & Speed
- Significantly improved live view performance on the capture screen by optimizing how the image is cropped to match the photo placeholder
- Live view now displays immediately on the capture screen without waiting for the full crop calculation
Survey
- Fixed an issue where the virtual keyboard would disappear or lose focus on survey questions 2 through 5
- Surveys now work correctly in Boomerang mode
- Fixed an issue where using a survey with video sessions caused the browse button to disappear from the start screen
Start Screen
- Fixed an issue where the start screen background image would disappear when green screen was enabled and a background had been selected
- Resolved an issue where live view could appear on the start screen even when disabled in settings
- Fixed live view updating in the background while a start screen video was playing
- Resolved an issue where the start screen video would restart repeatedly while fotoShare was connected
Stats & Event Tracking
- The statistics "Today" column has been renamed to "Event" and now displays activity for the current event regardless of date
Camera Support
- Updated the Canon EDSDK to version 3.8 to add support for the EOS M50, EOS Rebel T7, EOS 2000D, EOS 4000D, and other newer Canon models
Templates & Layouts
- Fixed an issue where Mac-exported templates would import as blank white templates on Windows
- Templates in the "Choose a Template" screen are now centered rather than left-aligned
- Thumbnail images are now centered horizontally in the template selection layout
SMS & Messaging
- Updated the Twilio library to improve SMS deliverability and add MMS support
- When testing SMS settings, the app now validates the Twilio sender number and displays helpful guidance if it is incorrect
Cloud & Uploads
- Fixed an issue where uploads to Amazon S3 would fail when the album name contained non-Latin characters
- Emails are now routed through a sending domain with a valid reverse DNS record, resolving delivery failures to German providers such as gmx.de and web.de
GIF & Animation
- Fixed a GIF overlay rendering issue that caused the overlay to be cut off at the bottom under certain timing and reverse settings
- Removed automatic GIF file generation for animations and Boomerangs, improving session completion speed; MP4 and JPG are used instead
fotoShare
- The browse screen in fotoShare now shows a JPG thumbnail with a play button for animated content, replacing GIF thumbnails that caused performance issues on devices with many items
- Fixed an issue where the event name could display incorrectly in the fotoShare app's event pop-up
Printing
- The printing status message area now accommodates longer translated text, such as the Spanish "¡Imprimiendo!"
