• Keyboard: taps between rows and at the edges now land on the nearest key instead of being dropped. On iPhones without a globe key, the 123/ABC key now lines up with the letter rows. • Private Mode is now a switch at the top of AI Models, so your choices there are never overridden by the Home toggle. • On-Device: OpenWhispr now uses any model you've already downloaded before asking you to download another. • On-Device dictation can now be cleaned up with your own API key (Bring Your Own Key). • Clearer messaging on iPhones that can't run Apple Intelligence. • A simpler first-run setup: one welcome screen, and you pick Cloud or On-Device by tapping its card. • A new voice assistant example during setup. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.
