Hi,

 

great! One thing that confuses me: You wrote, that this is only a new release for the beta app channel, but today I got an update on the production release, too, with the same changelog as in the beta app. And the new prod-version is the 109, too? Have I missed an announcement?

 

Best,

Florian

    test)

  * More great improvements to app visual design

  * Reduced load times when changing screen orientation

  * Simplify page link share option to share only the URL

  * More options when pressing-and-holding links: Save, Share, and Copy
