What's New in Tingdong
1.0.9
October 30, 2026
• Conversation is now an interpreter: tap “I speak” and talk, then tap “Done · Their turn”. It’s read aloud in their language, a tone tells them to answer, and their reply appears in yours. • For subscribers, Conversation now reads aloud with a natural voice by default. You can pick another voice in Settings. • On iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, Live and Translate can also listen to sound playing on your iPhone or iPad, such as a video: tap the status at the top left and choose Device Audio. Floating Captions can show the original with the translation, or the translation only (Aa › Show as › Translation only).
