A room you make with friends is yours alone now: the chairs nobody filled hold the app's own players, not strangers dropped in among your friends. A robot mark on a name shows any seat the app is playing, including a friend who stepped away mid-hand. Random tables are unchanged. Playing on your own no longer makes you look busy. Friends can still send you a challenge during a single-player game — only a live multiplayer table holds an invite back.

Random tables open the moment you tap. The search screen comes up straight away with the thirty-second clock running and a live count of who else is looking right now, instead of a spinner that tells you nothing. The waiting line clears itself, and nobody is left stuck in it: if a search stops moving it is released automatically and a table is opened for you. Also fixed: the username box that the keyboard covered up on smaller screens.

Voice at the table is simpler. One tap on the mic mutes you — nothing opens in the way. Tap the speaker and the other players appear beside it: tap anyone to stop hearing them, just for you, or ALL for the whole table. Hold a face for their name. What you choose stays chosen for the rest of the match. Fixed: a player who resynced or rejoined mid-game could end up holding the same card twice, or sharing one with another seat.

Random tables actually fill now: everyone who taps Random in the same moment lands at the same table instead of each waiting alone. Thirty seconds to find real players, then stand-ins take the empty seats — and nobody is left without a game. In the game there is one mic button instead of two: tap it to see who is on voice, mute yourself, or, if you are the host, quieten a noisy seat.

Behind the scenes: the tools that run MINUS — the partner spaces, the announcements and the live picture — now work from a phone, so anything that needs fixing gets fixed faster. This release also carries everything from the last one: Random tables that fill with stand-ins who talk back, the card beside the online menu that was going missing on iPhones with an island, and an announcement card that opens cleanly and closes when you tap Close.

Settings and the online menu no longer ask you to watch an ad to support the game. Every ad you choose to watch opens something you can see first: a table felt, a card back, a logo look. Small fixes throughout.

The online menu is laid out for a landscape phone: every button on one screen, nothing to scroll for. NEW GAME now says SINGLE PLAYER GAME, so the choice beside MULTIPLAYER reads plainly. Friends shows "Already playing" for anyone at a table, so you never challenge somebody mid-hand. Notices from the table: we can tell you about a tournament or a change inside the game, and one tap closes it. A partner's artwork sits properly on the cloth. Fixes throughout.

A new end-of-game screen: the final table, a score card to share, and the game credits. Ads now sit only at natural breaks — never during a hand. Multiplayer rooms pause together between rounds. Voice, mute and room-stability fixes.

No ad ever interrupts a hand. The mid-game ad break is gone, and so are the ad offers on the bid panel. Ads now appear only at the moments you are already stopped: between rounds, when you resume a game, and when you start a new one. Andaza is simply on or off again, the way it always looked.

• Set your own name at the table — no sign-in needed. • A game now pauses for an ad and picks up from exactly the same hand. • Fewer, less predictable interruptions between rounds. • Ad privacy and consent controls.

The bottom banner ad is gone. In its place are ads you choose to watch, each one saying what it gives you before it starts: the Andaza estimate at either bidding decision, a look at what the bots are holding in a single-player game, and the alternative table felts, card backs and logo colours. Everything you had already picked stays yours — nothing you were using has been locked. Ad offers also stop disappearing on a patchy connection: the game now keeps trying in the background instead of giving up for the rest of the session.

Sign in with Apple is here. You can now sign in without handing over your email address at all — choose Hide My Email and even we never see it. You can also delete your account from inside the app: Play Online, then Delete account. Your username, photo, friends, messages and number go with it, in one step, for good. Notifications now actually arrive. A challenge from a friend reaches you whether the game is open, in the background, or closed — that was broken for everyone until now, and it is fixed for good. About MINUS credits the people who built it, alongside the founder.

The game now opens in English. Hindi and Hinglish are one tap away, from the language chips on the home screen. Andaza is a whole number now — you cannot bid 3.1, so it no longer pretends you can. The bid wheel opens on that same number, so bidding what the estimate suggests is one tap instead of five. You can block someone. They leave your friends list, and they can no longer challenge you, message you, or add you back. They are not told. Notifications now arrive whether the game is open, in the background, or closed, and a challenge that lands mid-hand shows up in the game itself rather than behind it. If you play with Andaza switched off, the bid panel can now reveal it for one short ad. It is always your choice, and nothing ever interrupts a hand.
