Hello, blindGram v15.1 Beta 5 is released.
changes include:
- Chat folders in the folder list and selection popup now announce their numbered position. Reordering folders is now accessible using screen reader local actions (Move Up / Move Down) or by tapping the reorder handle for an Up/Down popup menu, and the screen reader announces the new position with optional vibration.
- Music, voice, and video playback position memory now strictly follows your settings: when enabled, playback position is preserved across track switching, pausing, and closing the player; when disabled, positions reset cleanly. Completed tracks now reset to the beginning instead of resuming near the end, and timestamp links seek directly regardless of resume settings.
- Video seek slider accessibility is decoupled from quality settings; when disabled in blindGram settings, the bottom video seekbar is completely hidden from screen reader focus so it no longer interrupts touch navigation or triggers accidental seeks.
- Star (paid) reactions in the reaction picker are now explicitly labeled with their name and selected state instead of being read as generic custom emoji.
- Mini-player rewind and fast-forward buttons are now properly hidden during live stream story playback.
- Restored upload and download percentage announcements for screen readers on focused messages and file items.
- Synchronized push notifications and background message delivery across all active accounts when the app is closed, ensuring new messages are fetched and ready immediately upon opening.
- Replaced specific references to TalkBack with the generic term "screen reader" across all 12 languages in settings and descriptions, reflecting full optimization for Commentary Screen Reader (CSR) and other screen readers.
- Fixed multiple crash classes and memory leaks, including OutOfMemory errors when loading messages from storage, crashes on emoji-only messages, Android 8 resume crashes, custom ROM compatibility issues, and incorrect "Selected" announcements on counter badges.
- Fixed a crash (index out of bounds) when typing or selecting emoji suggestions in the message box.
- Fixed reported bugs.
