Blocked someone by mistake? Now you can undo it. Open More, then Blocked people. It lists everyone you have blocked on a dish photo, and one tap puts them back. Their photos reappear on the dish straight away. If you have not blocked anyone, the screen just says so. Until this release a block was permanent. That was never the intention, and it is fixed. As always: no account, and your tastes stay on your iPhone.

Cooked something? Photograph it. You can now add your own photo of a dish, so the next person deciding what to eat sees what it really looks like when someone actually makes it at home. Accepted photos are credited to you, by name, beside the dish. Every photo is checked by a person before anyone else sees it. You can report a photo, block a contributor, and delete your own photo at any time. Anything reported is checked and removed within 24 hours. As always: no account, and your tastes stay on your iPhone.

Play with ingredients — type what's in your kitchen and Khao finds dishes that use it. More to choose from — a much bigger dish list, so the deck keeps going instead of running out, and new dishes now arrive quietly before you get low. A clearer first run — a short walkthrough shows you how swiping works. Watch the recipe — jump straight to a video recipe for the dish you picked. Safer allergen labels — we went through the whole dish list and corrected every dish whose ingredients and allergen tags disagreed.

Undo is back, dishes you turn down stay gone, and there is now one tap to the recipe on YouTube. UNDO The undo button is back on the deck, where it was. It takes the last swipe back exactly as it was, including "never show again". WHAT YOU SAY NO TO STAYS GONE Khao now records that a dish was actually put in front of you, not only that you answered it. A dish you turn down moves to the back of the deck instead of coming round again, and one you turn down twice stays back there until you have seen everything else. WATCH SOMEONE MAKE IT The cook screen now has a button that opens YouTube, searched for that dish's recipe, in the language you are reading Khao in. SEND A DISH TO A FRIEND Share any dish to WhatsApp, Instagram, or anywhere else on your phone. It goes as a card with the dish on it, and whoever you send it to can get Khao from the same message. VRAT, IN ONE TAP Fasting today? Turn on "Vrat today" in the diet menu and the deck narrows to sattvik food for the day, then goes back to normal by itself tomorrow. The one-tap day shortcut can set aside a veg day, but it never lifts a fast. EAT NON-VEG TODAY? A veg day can now be set aside for a single day from the deck itself, and the diet control says plainly what today's rule is instead of offering a choice that cannot take effect. THE BASKET, AND THE SHOPPING LIST Add dishes as you swipe and Khao works out the combined shopping list. You can add one from the deck and from the dish itself, not only from a screen behind a tab. LEFTOVER REMIX LISTENS, AND LOOKS Say what is in the fridge out loud, or photograph the shelf, instead of typing it all in. ONE LINK FOR THE HOUSEHOLD Send a link to the people you cook for and they fill in their own diet and allergies. No account, and nothing is stored on a server: the invitation travels inside the link itself. A WALKTHROUGH ON THE FIRST RUN Khao now shows how the card stack works before dropping you into it, for anyone who has not used one before. It can be skipped. SMALLER THINGS Opening a dish gives you one clear way forward instead of asking twice whether you will cook or order. Dishes a long way from your palate are held back rather than repeated. And when you have told Khao you are ordering, dishes almost nobody has heard of wait their turn.

A new icon, a corrected calendar, and everything from the two updates in between. THE NEW MARK Khao has a new icon: a cloche with the world under it, and a question mark where dinner should be. FASTING AND FESTIVAL DAYS Sawan's Mondays were being read off the wrong regional calendar, and the fast was being applied to the whole month instead of just the Mondays. Both are fixed. Khao now follows the Purnimanta reckoning most of north India keeps, and marks only the Mondays. Day rules can still be switched off entirely in one tap. WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT EAT Allergens are now checked against a dish's full ingredient list rather than a summary field. Ninety-one dishes were hiding one. You can hold more than one diet at a time, veg days have a "not applicable" for households they don't apply to, and your diet and allergies are editable whenever you like. SAY NO, LEARN SOMETHING Skip a dish and Khao tells you something worth knowing about one of the things that goes into it, where it comes from or why it behaves the way it does in a pan. If you like the sound of that ingredient, one tap sends Khao looking for more dishes that use it. SMALLER THINGS Khao stops re-offering dishes you have already turned down. Handing a dish to Zomato or Swiggy now opens the dish you actually picked. Exported data tidies up after itself. And two things the app used to say about itself were not accurate, so they are gone.
