Iām using Dark Mode (Android) and havenāt experienced this yet.
But thereās mention of a ābackgroundsā feature in the recent versions of the app code - I wonder if itās starting?
Also - the selection for the app theme (Light/Dark/System) has vanished from Settingsā¦
(Itās still available via āHome ā Customise ā Themeā)
Is there any way you can share what this issue looks like without sharing any personal information? I know itās difficult on Home, but even seeing what a corner with no content looks like would be helpful.
In case it helps, I just got the same thing when switching back from my business account to my personal one. Also noticed a new salary sorter widget had appeared in my feed at the same time - Iād just made a payment from my business to my joint account.
Honestly, Iām not a fan of the new accounts detail page. The reason is - itās pointless. All it has on it is the account card component, and an expanded view of the last 10 days transactions (not infinitely scrolling!) all of which are duplicates from the main overview page - where itās one less tap to get to these places.
Also, the red/amber/green left to spend indicator is seemingly completely gone. This was one of my favourite bits of the Monzo app - as it was extremely glancable, itās a lot easier to see āoh my balance is a bit under where it should be this part of the monthā, than, have to do the maths on the raw numbers the new accounts overview page.
Ideally Iād like to have the new account details page look more like the old one where you can flick between the two feed/manage tabs, and actions youāre likely to perform are surfaced much more.
I used to use the old Summary extensively. The workflow was the following:
Iād pay the bills from my main account. The Summary would tell me the actual amount of money I have after I pay all the bills.
I tried my best to adapt to the new UI by setting up a pot to pay all the bills. The pot would calculate exactly how much money it needs to pay the bills, Iād transfer the necessary amount at the start of every month. The balance on my card would then show almost the correct number.
The issue is that the pot uses the old summary to calculate this amount. My salary comes on a different day every month and I need to change the summary date frequently, to budget everything right after I received my salary and not to wait until say the 31st.
The latest change to the app breaks this workflow.
I discovered the pie chart button that I need to click to update the Summary period. As I try change the date however, nothing happens. The Summary still shows the old dates, so as the pot that Iāve set up.
TLDR, steps to reproduce:
Set up a pot to pay direct debits and standing orders
Thanks for flagging this one. I donāt seem to be able to reproduce your issue - following the steps you describe does change the date on my bills pot
