What's New in BirdNET

1.4

November 1, 2026

New: See which detection models heard a bird — servers running BirdNET-Go 20261031 or later can now report which models (for example BirdNET 2.4 and Perch V2) contributed to each detection. - Detection detail: a new "Models" card lists each model with its number of hits, average/max/min confidence, and when it first and last heard the bird. - Daily Activity: open a species card to see a "Latest detection" line per model for that species' most recent detection of the day. It updates as new detections arrive. - Only detections recorded after the server was upgraded carry this information, so older detections, and servers on earlier versions, simply don't show it. Nothing else changes for them. Other Fixes: - Daily Activity no longer gets stuck on yesterday. If you left the app open or in the background overnight, it used to keep showing the previous day, and new detections didn't appear. It now moves to today on its own. If you picked an earlier day yourself, it stays there. Explore → Summary also updates its periods on a new day. - History opens at the period you're viewing. Tapping a species in Explore → Summary or Explore → Species now opens its history at your current period (for example, 30D opens at 30 days and Today opens at 7 days), instead of always 90 days. - History chart fits on smaller screens. The range buttons no longer slide up under the title, so you can pick a range without dragging the sheet up first. - iPhone Duo: the notification bell stays in the side bar. It no longer jumps to the bottom of the screen when new notifications arrive. It now shows a standard unread-count badge.
