What's New in prefx
1.6.9
June 3, 2026
Version 1.6.9 introduces Operator (Beta), a full fake phone OS built for on-set prop work. Pull up a convincing home screen, status bar, contacts, messages, and mail — all live on camera. Blackbox and Go timers let you fire on cue, and timed notification banners open directly into your saved Chatterbox conversations, keeping scripted interactions seamless and shoot-ready. This update also patches a persistent timer crash that affected real device stability, fixes keyboard avoidance in the messages interface, and resolves CineVault poster accent color rendering and frame editor drag and face detection issues.
