What's New in Version 1.7.2 Faster Contact Processing Your contacts are now processed significantly faster! We've optimized how the app handles large contact lists, so you'll spend less time waiting and more time using your device. Smoother Performance The app now runs more smoothly with reduced memory usage. Whether you have hundreds or thousands of contacts, Phonetiq handles them efficiently without slowing down your device. Better Accessibility We've improved support for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. The app now adapts better to your accessibility preferences, making it easier to use for everyone. Field Preference Clarity The Field Preference settings now clearly explain each option and the current iOS situation with pronunciation fields. You'll know exactly what each choice does and which one works best right now. Modern Interface Updated navigation and visual refinements throughout the app for a cleaner, more consistent experience.

What's New in Version 1.7.1 Enhanced Privacy & Security Your privacy matters! This update includes enhanced privacy protections and full compliance with iOS requirements. Your contact data stays 100% private on your device—no tracking, no data collection, ever. Faster & More Reliable Experience smoother performance when processing large contact lists. We've optimized the app to handle thousands of contacts more efficiently with better error handling and more reliable background processing. Better User Experience - Streamlined interface with automatic voice assistant cache refresh - Improved error messages that actually help you fix issues - Enhanced stability and performance throughout the app - Modern codebase future-proofed for upcoming iOS versions Important: Contact Sorting Note Due to a confirmed iOS bug, Phonetiq currently uses phonetic fields (the only method that works with voice assistants right now). This may affect how contacts are sorted in the Contacts app—they will be sorted by the phonetic spelling rather than the original name. We've reported this to Apple, and once they fix it in a future iOS update, we'll restore the pronunciation field option that doesn't affect sorting.

- Streamlined UI: We've made it easier than ever to get started! Simply follow the setup wizard, enable background processing, and tap the Start button.

Set it and forget it—it's that simple! - Updated the phonetic rules engine - Note that the sorting of the contacts might change - this is not a Phonetiq issue but how iOS Contacts is sorting them based on phonetic fields - Progress information on processing of a big set of contacts - Fixes in background processing

MAJOR UPDATE! - We are switching from Phonetic fields to Pronunciation fields! This is now the default as it doesn't break the sorting of the contacts. On your first run the application will ask you to make the switch to the pronunciation fields. It will replace the phonetic fields with pronunciation fields. - There is option for the application to propagate the phonetic fields instead, if you decide that you prefer the sorting of the contacts to follow the phonetic value format - Minor fixes to the mapping engine SPECIAL THANKS to: Apostolos Venetis - for bringing up the information about the pronunciation field
