The update was highlighted online by @ishanagarwal24 via his official social media page. As such, the new software patch includes changes to the Essential Space feature – a quick press on the Essential Key now saves the current screen with the option to add notes, while a long press initiates instant voice note recording during saving.

Essential Space widgets are also included with the update, allowing users to view content directly on the home or lock screen. The homepage and detail pages have been revamped alongside a new “Upcoming” section that also displays task management. Additionally, Smart Insight now adapts to the system’s default language.

The update also includes support for Camera Presets, and users can also share and import these presets, such as custom camera settings and filters. Support for importing cube files has been added, along with camera performance for macro and portrait modes, and general app stability.
