What's New in Private Docs Vault

1.8.4

October 30, 2026

• Fixed: swiping to the next video while one was playing left the previous video's audio running and still decrypting in the background. Leaving a page now stops and releases it immediately • Files that share a name but differ in extension (for example IMG_1.jpg and IMG_1.mp4) are now kept as separate items instead of being merged as a Live Photo. Live Photos still come in as one item from the camera and the Photos picker • Unzipping or restoring a backup now keeps the original file by default; turn on the switch if you want it deleted • In the lock and unzip sheets the settings now sit at the top, so you no longer scroll past the whole file list to reach them • Long operations (encrypting, decrypting, backing up, exporting to the share folder) can now be cancelled. Cancelling always returns everything to the state before the operation; no half-finished or unencrypted files are left behind. The screen no longer dims while an operation is running • The temporary file used to share the recovery key card is now fully protected and removed when the vault locks
