What's New in Translate Voice, Text & Photo
1.1.5
August 1, 2026
Now you can translate without leaving the app you're in. Select any text — a menu, a message, a web page — tap Share, and choose Pocket Lingo. It opens with the translation ready. You can also ask Siri to translate a phrase or open camera translate hands-free. It's the same private, on-device translation, now everywhere you read. Plus Pro upgrade options in Settings and reliability improvements. Also fixed: read-aloud could stay silent after you used voice input — it now speaks every time. Also: if a call interrupts dictation, the recording now ends cleanly and keeps what you already said.
