What's New in GlassOut
1.16.0
October 9, 2026
**New** - Panel switcher: in the viewer, pull up from the bottom edge to open a row of panels, fragments and templates. Tap one to change the screen. You do not have to go back to the list. - Settings for the switcher: **Pull up to switch** and **Show switch hint** (both on by default). The hint shows a small handle at the bottom edge. Settings shows a GIF and an image that explain the two settings. - Keyboard for sim text fields: when you tap a text field in a panel (for example, in an EFB), the keyboard of the device opens. The text you type goes to the field in the sim. **Enter** sends the field. New setting: **Keyboard for text fields** (on by default). - New setting: **Show typing box**. Turn it off to hide the text box above the keyboard. The keyboard still works. - Touch scroll and pinch zoom: drag with one finger to scroll lists in EFB pages (for example, approaches and charts). Pinch with two fingers to zoom maps and charts. - New setting: **Hide status bar** (off by default). It hides the status bar of the phone while a panel is open. - Templates can now show a custom background image on mobile. **Fixes** - Taps near the top and bottom edges of the viewer now go to the panel. Before, the swipe areas at the edges stopped these taps (for example, the Quick Settings button in the FlyByWire EFB status bar, or the top combobox of the A380 MFD). Swipes work as before. - iPad: the multitasking menu at the top of the screen cannot split the viewer into Split View or Slide Over now. - iPad: a panel does not become approximately one third of its size now after you go to a different app and come back. - A slow device (for example, a 30 fps phone) that shows the same panel as a fast PC now gets its full frame rate. Before, it could drop to approximately 3 fps. - The app does not show "Can't reach engine" now while the engine is running. A connection that stopped after a heartbeat timeout now reconnects. Connection attempts now stop after 5 seconds and the app tries again.
