A big update with everything from recent months: - Origins opens instantly, even on a weak connection. - If the app closes while your result is being prepared, it will be waiting for you next time — and it's removed from our servers as soon as it reaches you. - Your photos reach the analysis in higher quality, so fine details come through. - Technical terms in your result are explained in plain words, and your share card shows every region. - Reopening a photo you've already analysed is instant. - A new Support screen lets you reach us, send feedback or withdraw your consent at any time. - A shorter start, and screens that fit smaller phones better. Before your next analysis, you'll be asked once to confirm the updated consent.
