What's New in PodFocus
1.1
August 1, 2026
Sharing to your kid's own device just got much easier! • NEW: Share by QR code - when sending a profile to a device with its own Apple ID (like a kid's iPad), just scan the code with the Camera app. No Messages, Mail, or AirDrop needed. • FIXED: "Share with Another Device" failed with an error for some families. Sharing now works reliably. • Previously deleted profiles no longer reappear on the profile picker. • Small navigation improvements during setup. Questions or a show you'd like added? Reach me from the About page in the Parent Zone - I read everything.
