FOLLOW WITH YOUR HEAD On iPhone and iPad, AirPods or Beats that track your head can steer the robot's head. Turn it on under Controller, or with the AirPods button over the camera. The robot looks where you look while you watch through its eyes, and it keeps following when you go from one screen to the other. NOW ON APPLE TV AND APPLE VISION PRO Hey Reachy has its own apps for Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. On Apple TV, see the robot's camera on the big screen and drive it with a game controller or the Siri Remote. On Apple Vision Pro, the headset steers the robot's head while you watch its camera in a window. ALSO • Ready for the robot's software 1.12. After that update, link the robot to your Hugging Face account once more from its account sheet. • The app no longer links a robot to your Hugging Face account unless you ask it to. • Your Reachies lists only Reachy Mini robots, now that other Pollen Robotics robots share the relay. • Mac: starting an app on the robot no longer closes Hey Reachy. • Mac: your Hugging Face sign-in is kept in the data protection keychain.

A GUIDED FIRST WAKE-UP A robot that was never woken gets a short guided start: its name, then a check of its motors, camera, microphones and speaker. It works on your own network and through the Hugging Face relay. If you set up the robot in another app, choose Skip setup, and the app does not ask again. After this, Pollen's own apps no longer greet the robot as new. DRIVE WITH A GAME CONTROLLER Connect a game controller and drive the head, the body and the antennas with it. The controller lets go when you switch to another app. APPS • Install apps through the Hugging Face relay too, from the Hub's own catalogue. • Report an app from its page, or hide all apps from one author. Before Discover shows apps from the community for the first time, it tells you what they are. • Install and Start now sit under the app's name. FIXES • Only one dance plays at a time. The first play from Music can take up to 15 seconds while the robot downloads it, and you then get a Stop button, not an error. • The buttons at the bottom of setup screens are larger, and the whole button responds, not only its text. • On your own network, the camera comes back by itself within about a minute after a Wi-Fi drop. A video connection that stalls now stops waiting, tries again once and offers a way back. • Sleep and power off work correctly while an app or the startup app runs, and the widget stops an app correctly. • The conversation app no longer shows a false "app stopped" after you change its personality. • Stickers in Messages play at an even speed. • The beta update channel is hidden for robot software older than 1.10.

YOUR THEME ON THE ROBOT Pick a theme in Settings → Appearance and the 3D robot takes its colour — body and head, in the live view and in the simulator alike. Graphite keeps the factory white, and the new Paint the 3D robot switch keeps it white under any theme. The robot on your desk stays as it is. STICKERS Sixteen Reachy characters land in Messages with the app — an astronaut, a cowboy, a jazzman and thirteen more, each with an animation of its own. They reach the Stickers app, the Messages camera and FaceTime as well, so they are not only for a conversation. ON YOUR WRIST AND IN THE CAR The running-app Live Activity now shows in the Apple Watch Smart Stack and on the CarPlay dashboard, with no Watch app to install. FIXES • Robots on software 1.11 no longer get a compatibility warning. When a robot is newer than the app was tested with, the warning is translated, names the tested version and sits right under Status. • The motion sensor reading is more reliable: a robot restart no longer clears it, and a robot without one shows none instead of an error. • Tapping a notification that an app finished installing or updating opens that app's page; a system update opens Settings. • A Home Screen quick action tapped while the app was closed now runs once the robot connects, instead of being dropped.
