Calls • Video calls keep going when you lock your iPhone or switch to another app. • Running low on minutes during a call? Buy more without hanging up. • When your connection is weak, the other person now sees it too. • Translations start a little sooner after you finish a sentence. Help • New: Tips for better calls, from Home and Profile, and an updated FAQ. • Report anything the AI says, from the demo or by tapping the AI Voice label during a call. And other improvements and fixes.

New: try a demo • Haven't had a conversation yet? Try a one-minute demo with an AI that speaks another language, on a video call or face to face, and hear VivaLingua translate both ways. It never uses your minutes. Calls • Calls now tell you when your connection is too weak or the other person's connection drops. • When you both speak the same language, you hear the other person's own voice clearly. Guest links • Starting a guest call opens the share menu right away. • You're told if your guest chose the same language as you. And other improvements and fixes.

New: AI Voice • In Profile, record a short sample of your voice. The people you talk to can then hear your translations in a voice like yours, marked "AI Voice". AI Voice is optional and not available everywhere. Guest links • When you share a guest link, you can choose the guest's language. • The "Let them in" prompt for a waiting guest is no longer hidden behind the call header. And other improvements and fixes.

Captions that match the voice • In a video call, each caption now appears as its sentence is spoken, instead of before you hear it. • Captions stay on screen in a box beside your video. Scroll up to read earlier lines. Turning captions off in call settings hides the box. Faster conversations • Translated speech starts sooner after you finish a sentence, including in Vietnamese. • When several sentences arrive together, they play one after another without a pause. Clearer when something is off • If camera access for VivaLingua is off in Settings, the call now tells you, and voice and translation keep working. • On your profile, Save Changes is only active when you have changed something. Staying up to date • From this version, the app lets you know when a newer version is available on the App Store.

Only you pay, and new accounts start with more • New accounts now start with 60 free minutes instead of 30. • Whoever starts the call spends the minutes. Answering or joining is always free, and you can now call someone back straight away after being their guest. When minutes run out • The app now says what is actually true and what to do about it, instead of offering plans that do not exist. • If your email is not confirmed yet, you can buy minutes anyway, or confirm first and get your free ones. Email and sign-up • A mistyped email domain is caught at sign-up, before it costs you your free minutes. • If your address bounced, the app now tells you and lets you fix it, instead of asking for a code that can never arrive. Calls and conversations • Incoming calls now ring on screen, with a ringtone. • Face to face, you no longer need to add someone as a contact first — send them a link or show a QR code. • Arabic video calls respond faster. • Calling someone who speaks your language is no longer reported as a problem. • Usernames: clearer rules, and "user not found" now says username instead of name.

Invite anyone with a link • Send a link and they join from their phone's browser, with no app and no account. It works for video calls and for face-to-face conversations, and in person they can scan a QR code instead. Voices • Translated speech now always uses cloud voices, including more natural-sounding voices from ElevenLabs. Because ElevenLabs is now one of the services that process your speech, the app will ask your permission once more. • Voice previews now play exactly what the other person will hear. Fixes and improvements • Translated speech plays more reliably, and the first one starts sooner. • If your email address isn't verified yet, the app now says so, instead of telling you that you're out of minutes. • If your phone can't receive call notifications, the app now tells you on the screen where you make calls.

• New privacy control: see exactly what is sent for translation and to whom, and turn it off at any time in Profile > Privacy. • Choose which notifications you get — calls, invitations and contact requests — in Profile. • If you and someone call each other at the same time, you can now answer instead of redialing. • Your incoming call list updates on its own while it is open. • We warn you before a call where both people speak the same language, so you know nothing will be translated. • Faster in-person translation. • Clearer call status: you can see when the other person is speaking, who you are calling, and when a translation could not be played. • Optional diagnostic reports to help us find and fix problems, on by default and switchable off in Profile.

Faster translation — replies now arrive noticeably quicker in both video calls and in-person sessions. New: invite friends to VivaLingua straight from your Contacts. New: Restore Purchases, if a purchase ever doesn't come through. Minute pack prices now display in your local currency. Also: sessions end reliably when you end them, calls recover better from brief network drops, and a range of stability improvements.
