What's New in Minara
2.4.1
July 14, 2026
This update makes Minara calmer and lighter to start: • The prayer countdown (Live Activity) now ends reliably right at adhan and then disappears — no more getting stuck on the Lock Screen. If you move to Premium, it can even start while the app is closed. • Onboarding is shorter. Location and notification permissions are asked for only when needed, with a clear reason; core features work even if you decline. • If notifications are off, you'll see a gentle, dismissible reminder — never any pressure. • Privacy: the ad-tracking prompt at launch has been removed entirely. • Marking a prayer as done now updates your home screen widget instantly. • Fixed a false "signed in on another device" warning right after signing in, and a brief error flash on first launch.
