myAlerts App Release v2.26.1 - March 23, 2026

What's New

Unified Location Add/Edit Flow

The Add Location and Edit Location screens have been combined into a single, consistent experience on both platforms.

Location Settings — Severe Weather Alert Severity Control

The slider used to set Severe Weather Alert severity preference has been replaced with a more accessible toggle control.

Explicit Save Button for Settings

Location Settings and Quiet Hours now have an explicit Save button. Previously, changes were silently committed when you navigated back — now users can decide whether and when changes take effect.

Landscape Orientation & Split-Pane Layouts

The Intro, Alerts, Alert Details, and Location screens now display optimized layouts in both portrait and landscape orientations, including split-pane layouts for wide/tablet screens.

Large Text & Dynamic Type Support

Text in the app no longer overlaps or gets cut off at large font sizes or custom text spacing settings. All text in the app remains readable and properly spaced at up to 200% font scale.

Accessibility: Status Messages for Screen Readers

VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android) users now receive status messages when actions complete — such as when a location is deleted — so it is always clear when a state change has occurred.
