What's New in Idyll
1.2.3
September 13, 2026
Calling and photos, with fewer surprises. • Tapping Call now opens a screen with their name and one big Call button, so you never land in a live call by accident — and you hear it ringing while you wait. • Add a photo and tell its story on one screen: the story editor opens on the picture you just added. • Dating a photo no longer files it behind older ones. • Uploaded music keeps each song's own artist and album instead of collecting everything into one. • Editing an activity lets you change the day it falls on. • If your microphone or camera is off, the app says which one, what they are missing, and takes you to the setting.
