Improvement
January 22, 2026

Release 3.0.30

What’s New:

  • Real-Time Badge & Count Updates: We have upgraded our notification system so that badge counts now update in real time while the app is open. Previously, users might have needed to navigate away or refresh to see an accurate count of unread messages or alerts. Now, the moment a notification is triggered, your badge count will reflect that change instantly.

Release 3.0.26

Changes:
  • Photo Consent Expiration Enforcement: The app now checks the new Photo Consent PDF Expiration Date field for each client. If the consent has expired, tagging that client in photo posts will be disabled. The client’s bottom sheet will also display a clear “Photo Consent Expired” status so staff can take action as needed.
  • Consistent Date Picker Experience: Updated date pickers across both Android and iOS for a smoother, unified, and more predictable selection experience.
  • Group Selector Stability Fix: Resolved an issue that caused the app to crash for users not enrolled in any groups. The group selector is now fully stable for all users and shows a notice for users not enrolled in any groups.
