Below you can read about the changes for the July update (5.4.0.527). At the top, we highlight some important changes. Below that, you will find the complete list of changes and fixes.
- Video calling in Messenger is possible again. New actions have also been added that you can use to set up video calling in Messenger according to your preferences.
- Select the camera, microphone and speakers you want to use during (video) calls.
- The pitch of the voices can now be adjusted in the settings. This allows you to adjust your voice and make it even more unique. It also offers the possibility to choose a voice with a higher intonation in languages where no child’s voice is available. Go to Menu > Settings > Speech > Pitch.
