Localization
• Choose English, Spanish, or Chinese (Simplified) based on phone preference or app settings. The app adapts key screens and sends your language choice when you scan so guidance can match your area when available. More languages will be added in the future.
Feedback
• More responsive feedback when you use thumbs up or down on a result.
Reliability
• More dependable loading when picking photos from your library, including iCloud-backed images.
• Clearer messages when location or network aren’t available, with a reasonable wait for location when appropriate.
Results & guidance
• Clearer messaging when a photo isn’t treated as a recyclable item (for example, when the subject is an animal).
Home
• Removed the Sustain donation banner for a simpler Home screen.
