Here's what's new in version 4.1.0 and 4.1.2 👇

Infrastructure Updates:

• While this isn’t perhaps the most exciting update from a user-facing standpoint, it was a pretty big one on our side, involving a large update to React Native and many impacted libraries. This was a pretty big housecleaning project for us, putting us in a great place to continue developing new features from going forward. There should hopefully also be some performance improvements out of this, as a side benefit.

Feature Improvements:

• Emoji Search. You can now search for different emojis when reacting in groups, making it much easier to find the reaction you’re looking for without endlessly scrolling through.

Bug Fixes:

• (Hopefully) fixed music pausing issue on iOS. This had been a persistent issue for awhile, where somewhat randomly the app would pause music from services like Spotify. Please let us know if this still continues to happen after you download this update.

• Fixed Google Fit syncing issue. Google Fit had made a change on 6/17, which broke syncing for quite a few users. This should now be fixed in the latest release.

In addition to what we mentioned here, there were a few issues that resulted from the main update on Monday (version 4.1), which we addressed with two smaller updates:

Version 4.1.1

Unfortunately after releasing Monday’s update, we later learned that there had been an odd regression not caught during our testing, where many of the buttons in the app weren’t working for users that had ‘Reduce motion’ enabled as an accessibility setting. We were able to identify this on Monday night, getting it fixed with this small update that was released yesterday.

Version 4.1.2

Today we released another small update, addressing an issue for certain Android users where the app was crashing after being backgrounded. This is also now live in the Play Store to download, if you run into this issue before your app is auto-updated.

Up Next...

Now that this larger infrastructure update is behind us, we’ll soon be releasing Health Connect support for Android, which should be a marked improved over Google Fit, supporting many 3rd party apps more directly and smoothly. After that, we’ll return to working on some nice enhancements to the Workout Overview screen, focusing on usability improvements and additional features, before shifting into some very exciting updates to the exercise tracking screen itself.

Thanks as always for your support!
