What's New: The Improvements We're Shipping to Mind Phone 2 Pro

If you caught our founder's update on the timeline →, you know the last few weeks have been anything but quiet. Here's a look at some of the updates we're shipping out to Beta users right now based on feedback so far and how the final product is being pushed forward.

✅ Next update

Verizon voice notes & clear picture messages

Voice notes now send and play properly on Verizon, and picture messages come through crisp instead of compressed into mush. Big thanks to ars18 — JTech for surfacing this one and helping us nail down the fix.

Under-keyboard light

The keyboard backlight now works the way it always should have — so typing in the dark is finally a non-issue.

Adjustable keyboard size at setup

You can now size the keyboard to your hands right from the phone during setup. No fiddling later, no compromise.

Clear background in the quick panel

The quick-settings panel got a cleaner, clearer look — less clutter, easier to read at a glance.

No more Google News push notifications

We pulled those uninvited Google News alerts. One less interruption competing for your attention.

Gemini blocked system-wide

Gemini is now disabled across the entire system — not tucked into a corner, gone everywhere.

System-wide video playback blocked

Video playback stays blocked across the whole device, keeping the experience exactly in line with what you signed up for.

🔜 Coming soon

We're not done — far from it. Here's what's actively in the works:

• New app store — so we can push Google app updates like Android Auto straight to your phone

• New launcher — with instant dialer search, so calling someone is as fast as it should be

• Call recorder — record calls right from the dialer

• Visual voicemail — read your voicemails instead of dialing in

• USB file transfer — move files to and from a computer over USB

• Parental controls — currently in active development
  

That's the update for now. We'll keep shipping, and we'll keep posting here every time something new lands. Thanks for being part of this — and for holding us to a high bar.
