What's New in First Word

1.2

August 3, 2026

A calmer, clearer First Word. • A new look throughout — one quiet night palette, and Scripture set in a proper reading face. • Tabs at the bottom: Alarm, Today, Moments, and More. Your alarm now leads. • Today’s Word and next-alarm widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, with step-by-step setup inside the app. • Quiet Scripture moments — optional reminders at the times you choose. Your existing Last Word reminder carries over automatically. • Ask Siri for today’s passage without opening the app. • The reading screen keeps Snooze, the typed fallback, and “I’ll read it later” visible at all times. • Saved & History now shows how each morning was completed, so you can tell when speech needs attention. • Accessibility improvements throughout, including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion.
