NEW • Force Activation: Ignite the saber without ever touching your phone, perfect party trick! • Swipe up to ignite: from anywhere outside the crystal, the mirror of swiping down to retract • Notifications: a new switch in Settings lets you hear when new content and features arrive. It's off unless you turn it on, and you can switch it off anytime • Replaying the intro from Settings? A Skip button on the first step takes you straight back ACCESSIBILITY • VoiceOver: the walkthrough's instructions can now be found by touch, and are spoken in VoiceOver's own gestures ("Double-tap the crystal…") • VoiceOver: the Retract action is always there while the blade is lit, including in the middle of the walkthrough, so you can never be left with a blade you can't turn off • Dim Flashing Lights: hit flares become a gentle swell instead of a white flash, and the Unstable saber's flickering edge calms down • Switch Control and Voice Control: full-screen sheets now have a Close button • Dynamic Type: the Watch tab's text now scales with your text size IMPROVEMENTS • Leaving the app with the blade lit now puts it out instantly and silently, instead of coming back to a half-retracted, frozen crystal • The haptic hum stops the moment a call or alarm puts the blade out, instead of buzzing on for a couple of seconds • Smoother stars in Settings: no more jitter, and slightly larger so they read as stars rather than dust • A much smaller download: the videos are now encoded for iPhone screens, saving about 90 MB with no visible difference APPLE WATCH • Haptics are now a setting (Effects › Haptics) and off by default, so taps no longer make the watch chime when Silent Mode is off. That includes the intro's title • The glowing edge of a lit blade now follows the exact corner shape of every Apple Watch screen, including Series 7 and other smaller sizes • The sound now comes back by itself after a phone call or alarm interrupts a lit blade • Settings › Volume, Effects and Action Button now open as sheets, so the Digital Crown still scrolls back to your sabers after you close them • The Health permission step now explains why Kyber asks (to keep the saber running while you move) and that no workouts are saved FIXES • Fixed a crash when a phone call, Siri or an alarm interrupted the sound while a blade was lit (iOS and watchOS 26) And something hidden got a few new tricks… if you know where to look.
