Are there any known problems with joint accounts? Just added pictures to all my joint account pots, and they’ve all just turned a blank colour.
Hi all, nice to see people enjoying having your own images on pots! I was one of the backend engineers working on this and personally really excited to see it in the app.
This was a “Monzo time” project; something that a small team of us formed around to work on on the last Friday of every month, which is the reason we’ve been teasing this for a while but getting it out the door took some time. As you can imagine it’s not exactly a high-priority feature to the company overall (although it’s really really nice to have IMO), but monzo time enabled a few of us to prioritise this as a side-project and ship it, which I think is great.
The square crop is a known issue; unfortunately it wasn’t a trivial thing to fix and we didn’t think it was a blocker; we’d rather get this feature out into users’ hands. As this gets more use, I hope we’ll be able to polish off the edges over time. For now, the trick is that the top and bottom 1/4 of the image are cut off from the square, so whatever you centre in the square will also be centred in the pot image; if that helps!
Let us know if you find any more bugs!
Hello @robinb
Not a bug but a quick question if you don’t mind?
Where are the images stored please? I assume on the server and not locally to avoid losing them when you get a new phone or reinstall the app?
Yep, the images are stored on servers, much the same way your profile picture and transaction receipt pictures are stored.
Thanks for the quick reply
Now, if you could accidentally hit the button to release this on Android on your way out that would be brilliant
Hi @anon84687262, not that I’m aware of. I just created one on a test joint account and it seems fine. What iOS version are you on? Is the image still blank for you? It’s possible that on slow connections the download will take a while when you close and re-open the app.
Found a bug. If you make a pot add the custom image then after creation decide you want to add a goal adding the goal removes the image
Is there a process for officially filing a more detailed bug report (app version number/ OS number and such )
youre killing my internal ocd with that euros cent picture for your “pennies” pot
If you create one in the ‘bug reports’ section of the forum it asks for all this information
Before I file are any of you able to reproduce the bug
Great to see this live now. Maybe Labs could have helped iron out these bugs…
@robinb Are you planning a blog post on how you integrated this, challenges you had and how the system behind it works? I’d be super interested
Yes. Also happens if you change your pot name!
Sorry
Is this enabled on Android yet?
Thanks for this update. I wasn’t aware of Monzo time, in that case this is great use of your Fridays!
And the square crop definitely not a blocker, a minor annoyance is all. Thanks for working on it, makes things look much more fun!
Nope not yet. apparently.
