Latest updates

June 2026

6/12/2026: Rolling out to Experimental, Experimental (26H1), and Experimental (Future Platforms) with version 2026.2605.7.0

  • Zoom slider works on more cameras — The zoom slider now works on the latest cameras, respects your system zoom settings, and updates instantly when you change those settings.
  • Full range of zoom levels — Fixed an issue where the zoom slider only showed three steps on some devices that zoom in finer increments.
  • Front camera works on more devices — Resolved a problem that blocked the front-facing camera on certain wide-angle devices.
  • More video resolution choices — You can now pick video resolutions that were previously hidden; the app shows a heads-up warning instead of removing them.
  • QR links you can still use — When a scanned QR code points to something with no matching app, the link is now copied to your clipboard (with a notification) while still offering a Store search.
  • Smarter default settings — When you haven't set a preference, the app now follows your system settings by default.
