Fixes from your feedback, mostly around the Lock Screen. • The End button on the Lock Screen works. Tapping End now opens Ruckus and takes you straight to saving your ruck, instead of doing nothing. • A tidier Live Activity. The card no longer runs out of room: your elapsed time sits up top next to the logo, and the stats and buttons have space to breathe. • Discarding a ruck really discards it. Tapping Discard no longer counts that ruck toward your achievements or monthly challenges. • Smaller fixes to the invite screen and the Gear Locker prompt.
