v6.15.4

Minimum supported OS: iOS 15.0

What’s new

This update sees improvements to how missed messages are counted and tracked across the app, ensuring they stay consistent and adjust smoothly as users catch up on conversations. It also includes interface updates to Ella and resolves several issues affecting AI Message Summaries, wired accessories, and overall app behavior.

Feature updates

Ella

• The indicator that appeared while talking to Ella has been removed when the Ella screen is visible.
• The Ella talk button has been restyled.

Missed messages

• Missed message counters across Recents, the Talk screen, and Message History now stay in sync and decrease as messages are viewed. Viewing all messages for a contact or channel clears its missed counter, and the global counter decreases accordingly.
• Tapping the X on a missed-message banner now permanently dismisses it and reduces both the missed-message count for that contact or channel and the overall missed-message total.
• Tapping a missed-message banner now jumps to the first missed message, clears the banner, and reduces the missed-message count for that contact or channel as well as the overall total.
• Viewing missed messages now lowers the missed-message count. A message must be viewed for at least two seconds before it no longer counts as missed.
• Messages sent in an ad-hoc channel to a busy user are now correctly counted in the missed-message total.
• The colors of the top and bottom missed-message indicators on the History screen have been updated.
• Missed message counts now properly decrease after offline messages are downloaded, and all offline messages are now correctly reflected in the total.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where audio recording with wired accessories stopped when Zello moved to the background mid-message.
• Resolved a problem that could cause users to become stuck in a listening or open mic state.
• Sending a message on a busy channel using a wired accessory will no longer trigger an unintended open mic state.
• Fixed an issue where the PTT button on wired accessories failed to record messages after the device was left idle for several minutes.
• Fixed an issue where activating PTT from the lock screen with certain accessories immediately after receiving another user's message incorrectly played the "Ready to send" tone and showed recording, though no audio was captured.
• Immediately opening Zello after a reboot will no longer result in a blank, black screen.
• Deleting a message from history no longer causes the previous message to briefly disappear.
