Following last month's avalanche of new features, there are fewer noteworthy changes this month. The update took place during the evening of the 27th July. For a full list of changes in v2.49, please visit the Alloy Changelog.

Pull down to refresh pickers ⏬

You can now refresh the content of any picker by dragging the list downwards. A significant improvement for touchscreen users and fun for mouse users too!

Time picker improvements 🕘

Previously, editing the digits of a time picker was tricky. This was because the boxes acted like text fields, so you had to move the text cursor to the right place and press the Backspace/Delete key accordingly.

Now, you can simply select a box and type to overwrite its contents or press Backspace/Delete to clear its contents and reset to 00:00.

We've made it a bit smarter too, so it can handle more natural number input, e.g. selecting the first box and pressing 3 then 5 will result in 03:05 instead of 23:00.

While it's hard to illustrate the differences here, try it out and you'll see what we mean!

Timestamp photos in waste events 📷

In Alloy Mobile Android, the Timestamp in-app photos setting has now been expanded to include photos taken directly during any waste event, making it easy to see at a glance when the photo was captured.
