What's New in TigerText
1.1
June 3, 2026
Version 1.1 is shaped by feedback from the blind and low-vision community. Library improvements: - Photo thumbnails now announce the date taken and the embedded alt text. No more duplicate or trailing descriptions. - A new Select mode lets you pick multiple photos right inside the library, with clear VoiceOver announcements for every selection. Other changes: - A first-run Tips screen explains how the app works, and is always available from the home toolbar. - Tapping Share with Description now also saves the description, so nothing is lost. - The Save Description and Share with Description buttons are clearer about what they do. - Less chatter in the caption field for VoiceOver users. - The “Description ready” announcement is more reliable. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. Keep the feedback coming.
