v7.10.0

Minimum supported OS: iOS 16.1

What’s new

This update updates the default Open Mic Detection behavior on iOS and improves Bluetooth PTT accessory recovery after iPhone restart, along with bug fixes and stability improvements.

Feature updates

Open Mic Detection

  • On networks where no End Open Mic policy has been configured, Open Mic Detection now defaults to Relaxed. This automatically ends transmissions after sustained silence to protect against stuck-open accessory microphones. Admins who have explicitly chosen a policy, including “Not Applied,” are unaffected.

General improvements

  • Bluetooth PTT accessories now reliably regain hardware-button functionality after an iPhone restart, including Klein BluPTT, Jabra Perform 75, and Pryme BT-PTT-ZU Super Mini models that previously required a headset power cycle to recover.
  • Incoming messages now play more reliably when Zello receives them in the background.
  • Audio now resumes correctly after phone-call or Siri interruptions.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the app could enter an unrecoverable state when MDM-provided account credentials were incorrect.
  • Fixed an issue where an empty “active contact” area appeared on the contacts tab.
  • Fixed an issue where the Summary button on the Talk screen only appeared after navigating away from the History screen.
  • Fixed an issue where the account name was shown as “Unknown” when the MDM configuration contained a space.
  • Fixed an issue where “Clear unread badges” did not clear offline channel messages.
  • Fixed an issue where live voice played aloud even when messages were silenced.
  • Fixed an issue where the offline channel message count on the Recents screen did not refresh.
  • Fixed an issue where the PTT Framework tutorial appeared on every app launch.
  • Fixed an issue where a hardware PTT button could send sub-second channel messages while the phone was in airplane mode.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Signed in on another device” banner was not displayed.

v7.9.0

Minimum supported OS: iOS 16.1

What’s new

This update adds full support for the Jabra Perform 10 (MFi variant) push-to-talk accessory and improves live audio playback on poor networks, along with bug fixes and stability improvements.

General improvements

  • Added full support for the Jabra Perform 10 (MFi variant) push-to-talk accessory, including channel controls, replay, emergency, AI Assistant, and status toggles in both the foreground and background.
  • The talk button release sound now plays at full volume in the background when the PTT Framework is active, replacing the much fainter built-in iOS sound. It can also be customized from Settings → Alert sounds regardless of PTT Framework state.
  • Live audio playback now recovers more quickly on networks with packet loss or congestion, and returns to normal timing as soon as conditions improve. This is now available to all users.
  • The PTT settings screen now shows “Connected, audio disconnected” for multifunction accessories whose audio route is not active, making accessory connection issues easier to diagnose.
  • Improved app launch performance.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where background text, image, location, and alert push notifications could fail to be acknowledged on iOS 26.5, causing affected users to be put into standby and disconnected.
  • Fixed an issue where swiping back from the talk screen during an active emergency could exit the emergency screen without showing the cancel-emergency confirmation prompt. The prompt is now shown for both the back button and the swipe-back gesture.
  • Fixed an issue where the first push-to-talk press could fail to transmit after the app had been in the background for an extended time when using a Bluetooth accessory.
  • Reduced clipping at the start of voice transmissions when using a Bluetooth push-to-talk button together with Bluetooth headphones.
  • Fixed an issue where offline channel messages could fail to download on a fresh install or after re-signing in.
  • Fixed an issue where a live message arriving during channel re-enable could cause earlier offline messages to be skipped.
  • Fixed an issue where pinned image thumbnails could appear as a broken image in offline channel history.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Delete user” and “Add to favorites” options in a channel’s user list did not work.
  • Fixed an issue where tapping a shared channel link opened Zello but did not add the channel.
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to share a location in a one-to-one conversation showed a generic error instead of prompting to enable Location permissions in Settings.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Switch account” popup could appear even when only one account was on the account list.
  • Fixed an issue where the Zello “Toggle PTT” action in the iOS Shortcuts app appeared as a raw label instead of a readable name.
  • Fixed an iPad crash that could occur when discarding multiple photo drafts, or when responding to a pending channel invite or contact request from the requests list.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur while transmitting a voice message with Open Mic detection enabled.
  • Improved overall app stability with additional fixes for less-frequent crashes.

v7.8.0

Minimum supported OS: iOS 16.1

What’s new

This update introduces ephemeral SSO support for shared iOS devices managed via MDM and removes the App Tracking Transparency permission prompt at sign-up. It also includes PTT Framework reliability improvements along with fixes to subscription management, connectivity behavior, alert sounds, and the Emergency channel.

Feature updates

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Added support for ephemeral SSO sessions on shared iOS devices. Admins can enable this through an MDM-configured setting so that each user authenticates with their own SSO account, regardless of any prior Safari or identity-provider session left on the device.

General improvements

  • Removed the Facebook SDK and the App Tracking Transparency permission prompt. Zello no longer asks for permission to track activity across other apps and websites on iOS.

  • Incoming voice messages now keep playing in the background after a hardware PTT button transmission ends while the device is locked.
  • Fixed an issue where PTT Framework could appear active before sign-in after an app upgrade.
  • Fixed an issue where tapping the connection-quality indicator did not show the quality-of-service toast and instead displayed the “Waiting for connection” banner.
  • Fixed an issue where a user set to Offline would automatically reconnect after receiving a 1:1 message.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Waiting for connection” banner did not appear during prolonged severe network loss.
  • Fixed an issue where a user could continue to show as “Available” while the device had no internet connection.
  • Fixed an issue where users could be unexpectedly signed out due to a conflict between active sessions for the same account.
  • Fixed an issue where the user count would display as 3 instead of the actual subscription size when an admin viewed an active Zello Work subscription after converting from a trial.
  • Fixed an issue on the trial admin's Upgrade tab where the days-remaining label could overlap the Subscribe button and the Subscribe button could become unresponsive on first launch.
  • Fixed an issue where an Alerter assigned the “connect only on triggering emergency” role could transmit on the Emergency channel when no emergency was active.
  • Fixed an issue where alert sounds (ready-to-send, busy, error) could intermittently fail to play or stop playing for the rest of a session.
  • Fixed an issue in the Spanish locale where the availability status menu showed a raw localization key instead of the translated label.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when selecting “Delete all” from the message history screen.

v7.7.0

Minimum supported OS: iOS 16.1

What’s new

With this update, Apple’s Push to Talk (PTT) Framework is on for all Zello users on iOS. The release also includes improvements to Bluetooth PTT button reconnection, Off-Duty Mode notification behavior, and clearer dispatch call status on the talk screen.

Feature updates

Push to Talk Framework

Apple’s Push to Talk (PTT) Framework is now always on for Zello users on iOS, making Zello more accessible across the device. With the PTT Framework enabled, users get access to the PTT Shortcut, which lets them send and receive messages from the lock screen, reply through a heads-up display while using other apps, and see who’s talking without switching back to Zello.

  • Starting with iOS 26, Apple requires all push-to-talk apps to use the PTT Framework, so it’s automatically enabled and always active for Zello users on iOS.
  • A short tutorial walks users through the PTT Shortcut on first launch.
  • Two behaviors worth knowing: push notifications need to stay on for text messages and photos to come through in the background, and tapping "Leave" disconnects you from Zello until you reopen the app. See our support article for details.
  • For more on Apple’s PTT Framework and how it affects Zello, read our blog post.

Dispatch call interface

  • The talk screen now shows clearer status for dispatch calls, with updated "In Queue" and "Active" indicators and a redesigned end call button.
  • Unread message badges now take priority over dispatch call status indicators, and status badges display correctly on both the Recents and Channels tabs.

General improvements

  • The app now reconnects more reliably when returning from the PTT Framework after being in the background.
  • Bluetooth PTT buttons now reconnect more reliably, with smarter scanning and progressive retry intervals for failed connections.
  • Off-Duty Mode now correctly silences all notifications when the app is in the background.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the PTT overlay displayed "Zello User" instead of the actual username after toggling airplane mode.
  • Fixed an issue on iPad where the back button and profile icon became unresponsive after leaving a channel talk screen.

v7.6.1

Minimum supported OS: iOS 16.1

  • The "Messages silenced" state now appears in the status dropdown when messages are temporarily silenced.

Dispatch indicators

Drivers using Dispatch channels now see "Active" and "In Queue" indicators on the Recents and Channels screens, making it easier to track dispatch call state without opening each conversation.

General improvements

  • The Recents tab icon now shows an unread message counter, making it easier to notice missed messages when on other tabs.
  • Bluetooth PTT accessories now transmit more reliably immediately after the app moves to the background.

  • 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.
