- import can now bring in photos from your library: choose an album and a range of dates, see how many photos that is, then import them. you can pause or stop partway, and the photo library screen shows whether your journal has described the newest ones yet. - you can now bring your calendar into your journal. you choose how far back to start. - photos you pick from the photo picker now show "from Photos" too when you open one from "on this device". - when your journal says your iphone or ipad is no longer paired with it, the app now asks you to pair again right away, instead of saying it can't reach your journal. - if your journal keeps refusing your iphone or ipad, the app now stops trying to reach it until you pair again. - the night background now has gold stars and, around the middle of the night, a brief meteor shower and an aurora on iphone and ipad, with stars and still meteor trails on apple watch. - when you set up calendar, every calendar starts off, and so does one that shows up on your phone later. you switch on the ones you want before anything comes in. the calendar page now says that what's already in your journal stays when you pause or switch a calendar off. - the audio page no longer asks you to pick meeting or voice memo. audio no longer stops on its own when it gets quiet. - the watch tile, the watch page and the solstone app on your watch no longer count what is "confirming with your iphone": it was already on your iphone. - when the solstone app on your watch has an update waiting, the watch tile now asks you to update it and the watch page shows how. before, it could look fine while your watch waited. - after a problem with audio, the status said "audio was interrupted" and kept saying it. now, when something you shared doesn't reach your journal, the status says there's a gap and which day, and it clears once you've opened it. something you remove from your iphone or ipad yourself never shows as a gap. - when audio on your watch stops itself, the watch tile on your iphone now says so for a day, instead of until you start again. - when you share your screen while audio is on, and audio on your iphone or ipad ends up with nothing for that stretch, the sound from your screen video now reaches your journal instead. - when a call or another app takes the microphone while audio is on, audio now shows paused and says "another app took the microphone." instead of staying on and then showing a problem. if audio hasn't come back on its own once the call is over, tap resume. - when audio, location or screen needs attention, its tile now says what's wrong, like "location access is off." instead of "something's not getting through." with VoiceOver, the tile reads that line too. - when storage is full or microphone access is off, the button on the audio page now says start instead of retry. - when location needed attention because its detail level asked for more than ios allows, picking a detail level ios allows on the location page now starts location again. before, it stayed stopped. - on apple watch, the sun is now always the background, not only with your wrist down. the first screen shows just the sun, the start or stop button, and a short note when something needs attention. turn the Digital Crown to see how long audio has been running, and the rest of the details. when a note shows, you can also tap it to go straight to the details. - on apple watch, the night sky now shows with your wrist up too: stars, the aurora and the meteor shower. the aurora now also shows with your wrist down.

- if you open solstone before setting up a journal, you can now open the setup page at its steps for starting a journal, send yourself a link to those steps, or connect a journal you already have. what you share waits on your iphone or ipad meanwhile. - a pairing link you open on your iphone or ipad now fills in the pairing screen and waits until you tap "pair this device", instead of connecting right away. - import now lets you choose photos and files from inside the app, without going to the share sheet. you can also drag them onto the import screen. choosing photos this way doesn't give the app access to your photo library. - on the "on this device" screen, what you send from the share sheet or choose or drop on the import screen is now labelled "import" instead of "share sheet". the import screen now lists text among what you can import. - the event log on the status screen now tells you when your journal turned a request away because it was busy, separately from a lost connection. the latest of each kind stays visible for seven days, including after reconnecting or reopening the app, and is filled in when you choose "report a problem" in help. - the status screen no longer shows a number beside each source under "what is waiting". one item can hold audio, location and screen together, so those numbers could add up to more than the waiting count above them. that count is the one to go by.

- opening audio from "what is waiting" on the status screen no longer closes the app. - your apple watch passes its audio to your iphone one recording at a time, oldest first, and each source's audio goes to your journal oldest first. - audio your journal turned away because of how it was labelled is tried again about once a day, not every time your iphone or ipad reconnects, and no longer keeps the app working in the background. - older versions could name audio in a form your journal can't accept, so it never went in. the app now renames audio it can confirm, so it can go in. - if the app closes while audio is on, the playable part of the recording is recovered and can go into your journal. - when your journal replies that you removed the segment a recording belongs to, the app removes its copy from your iphone or ipad. - the app now keeps your journal's current addresses each time it connects, so it follows an address change without pairing again. this needs your journal to be up to date too.

- after you pair and confirm your journal's mark, if your journal lists another device, the app asks whether this iphone or ipad replaces it. you can choose the device it replaces, or keep both. - when you set up a new iphone or ipad from an icloud backup or an encrypted backup on your computer taken after this version had connected your old one to your journal, the app keeps its pairing and asks whether it's the same device or a new one. - when a journal is paired, an off source's page now reads "intake is off. turn it on any time." - once your iphone or ipad is paired, tapping your journal in the app always opens it, showing the connection until it's connected. - if some audio can't be read, the app and its widgets now say "audio was interrupted" instead of saying everything is caught up. - connecting to your journal through the relay on a slow network now gets more time before the app gives up.

this update includes a security fix: when you pair your iphone or ipad with a journal, what you've kept stays on this device until you confirm it's your journal. existing pairings keep working. - status and widgets now tell you when a pairing is waiting for you to confirm your journal's mark. - if your iphone or ipad can't reach your journal for 30 minutes, status tells you when it last got through and offers ways to try again or pair again. - about solstone has one block you can copy with your app, watch and journal versions. report a problem includes the same details. - links in your journal that lead to other websites now open in your browser. - changing your phone or watch's language or region no longer keeps moments from reaching your journal. watch moments also reach your journal through the repeated hour when clocks go back, and keep the time zone they started in. - this device now shows the name you gave your iphone or ipad.
