Filters back on the home screen, watchlist alerts that open the title, notification settings that cover the messages we always send, and a home screen that shows its work while it loads. New • A watchlist alert opens the title it names. Tap the notification, or the link in the email, and you land on that title's page. • Settings → Notifications now lists the messages that are always delivered: sign-in and security alerts, and account messages. What you choose for those is where they reach you — email or push — and one of the two stays on. Legally required notices can now add a push alongside their email. • A notification type you've paused from a link in an email now shows how long the pause has left, with Resume beside it. • Each device now offers to turn notifications on the first time you reach the home screen. Your choices are shared across your account, but permission belongs to each device — so a phone or tablet you never set up was quietly receiving none of them. Improved • Filters are back on the home screen, in with the quick filters, rather than behind Settings. The quick filters sit a little closer together to make room, and on a phone the whole row still fits one line. • The home screen no longer waits in the dark. Your rows appear in outline as they load, so there is something on screen from the first frame. • Opening the app asks for your rows once rather than once for every row, so they arrive sooner. Fixed • Signing in now registers the device for notifications straight away. Signing out clears the device's registration, and a fresh sign-in was leaving it clear until the next launch — so the notifications you had just asked for went missing in between. • A photo that hasn't finished downloading to your device — one that still lives in iCloud Photos or Google Photos — is now caught when you pick it, with a note to save it to the device first. It used to be accepted and then fail to appear as a background, on every device you're signed in to. • A background already saved that way falls back to your theme instead of leaving the screen broken. • A title that can't be loaded now explains itself. One that has left the catalogue says so, rather than offering a Retry that cannot help.
