What's New Refreshed Multi-Account Experience We've redesigned the account switching experience! Managing multiple Blink accounts is now smoother and more intuitive. Easily switch between your accounts, add new ones, or remove accounts you no longer need — all from a streamlined interface in Settings. Better QR Code Scanning Scanning payment QR codes just got more reliable. We've improved the camera focus and detection to help you scan invoices and addresses faster, even in challenging lighting conditions. Bug Fixes Earn Section Stability Fixed a crash that could occur when browsing through the quiz cards in the Earn section. The carousel now scrolls smoothly without interruptions. Improved Session Handling Fixed an issue where an expired session on one account could affect your other accounts. Now, if one account's session expires, the app will automatically switch you to your next available account rather than logging you out completely. Thank you for using Blink! If you encounter any issues, please reach out through our support channels.
