What’s new in 1.3.2
Caregiver (Partner) link
When a caregiver device is connected, messages now send right away less waiting, better back-and-forth.
Fewer “queued” or duplicate drops during live use; reconnects are capped after many failed attempts to protect battery and reduce heat, with a clear path to try again in Settings.
Board & ASL tiles
Sign and face tiles show only the art or video extra “VIDEO” / “ASL” labels are removed for a calmer, cleaner tile.
Apple Watch
New Activity screen on the watch: see what you sent to the iPhone and short “On iPhone” lines when the phone finishes (e.g. spoke, opened a board, pinged caregiver, emergency) aligned with the flow on the phone.
Watch app privacy manifest and small reliability tweaks.
Reliability (behind the scenes)
Stronger app launch if the local data store has a problem: the app can fall back to an in-memory store instead of failing to open.
1.3.2 is tuned for a production build: versioning, privacy listings, and removal of debug-only console logging in Watch connectivity.
