What's New in GilloCast
2026.10.1
October 27, 2026
- Support for iPhone Duo, with fixes and optimisations for OS 27, now built on Swift 6. - New profiles: visual profiles change how the app looks, from colours and backgrounds to player styles, and behaviour profiles change how it responds, from gestures and taps to seek intervals and haptics. Automatic rules can switch profiles for you by time of day, Focus, CarPlay and more. - A new welcome tour walks you through getting started, from profiles to Siri. Replay it anytime from the Menu. - A reorganised Menu with redesigned sections, search to find any setting by name, and a new guide to everything you can ask Siri. - Swipe up in the player for Up Next or transcripts, and move several episodes at once: hold one and tap others to gather them, or tap the select button above Up Next and drag them together. They land in the order you tapped them. - Fixes for CarPlay, search, playback, Apple Watch and Siri. To submit a bug report, use Send Debug Log in the Menu.
