- On Apple Watch, a voice message that doesn't get through the first time is now sent again automatically, so a brief drop in signal no longer means repeating yourself - If it still can't get through, Sona now tells you it couldn't be reached and offers to try again, instead of blaming your network

- On Apple Watch, Sona now explains what the microphone is for before asking. If you'd rather not allow it, you can type or use the watch's own dictation instead - If a subscription payment fails, Sona now shows a reminder that opens Apple's payment screen, so you can fix it before losing access - Fixed a crash on Apple Watch that could happen while a reply was arriving

Sona Pro can now be bought on the Apple Watch. The paywall only existed on the phone, so reaching the limit on your wrist left you nowhere to go. Now you can subscribe from the Watch and the unlock applies straight away — with the phone nowhere near. Sona also offers you its daily prompt now, once, under its first answer, instead of leaving it switched off in Settings. And when the Watch can't hear you, it names where to turn the microphone back on.

Dictation is fixed. If your language and your region don't pair the way most people's do — Russian on a watch set elsewhere, English outside the usual places — Sona was asking the speech service for a language it doesn't offer, and the recording failed. It now asks only for languages that exist. If dictation stopped working for you in the last few days, this is why.

Dictation now follows the language you actually speak. Sona used to ask for dictation in your phone's interface language, whatever you were speaking. And the language you chose in Settings only changed the interface — it never changed dictation. Both are fixed: pick a language and dictation follows it. Your first AI image is now free, so you can see what it does before deciding whether it's worth paying for. And the upgrade screen is now in your language. Its list of features had been showing in English no matter what you'd chosen.

No new features in this one. It adds internal diagnostics so we can see where Sona gets in your way — particularly on Apple Watch — and fix it properly in the next release.
