Monzo for Android - Beta Channel Changelog šŸ•µ

Notes might be same but App on Android is still quite a bit behind IMO.

Whatā€™s missing? I can just think of search (much better on iOS)ā€¦

Iā€™ll name a few

  • Search on Android is very v basic
  • No travel reports
  • No in-app fingerprint/biometrics authorisations
  • No Location based security
  • Pulse has spending details on the graph
  • iOS help has new sneak peaks
  • No widget
  • iOS has more options to send transection feedback
  • Direct Debits donā€™t have any details on Android

I am sure there are other small things which all put together makes iOS experience much more nicer and beautiful.

Add ā€œDirect Debit info/details screenā€ to that list too.

(It still looks like this - Direct Debits & Standing Orders Feedback / Suggestions / Ideas)

I donā€™t believe that itā€™s happened beforeā€¦ :smiley:

Ofc I only keep track of Android changelogs :wink: So I canā€™t be 100% sure :innocent:

Fingerprint support has been on Android for some time now

Location based fraud protection has been on there for as long as I can remember. Perhaps you are talking about something more specific.

That is just for app unlock not for in-app stuff

Itā€™s not on Android or at least there is no option for me to enable or disable it. Here is an explanation from a Monzo staff what is this for;

Sorry, my mistake. I was reading the Starling forum immediately before reading this and still thought I was in Starling world. What a numpty I am.

The Monzo team is on fire :fire: Squashing all the bugs :grin:

weā€™ve done some internal refactoring of late, the hotfixes have just fixed a couple of small things we accidentally broke :stuck_out_tongue: 2.0.2 fixed bank statements :see_no_evil:

Summary has now vanished from labs as it should have done days ago :grin:

Apart from maybe being a little less reliable, does the beta version have anything else? Like sending back extra logs?

I thought Iā€™d just give my 2c here, despite the name ā€˜Betaā€™ Iā€™ve not found Monzo to be in the least bit unstable! :grin: Rock solid is how I would describe it and Iā€™ve been using the beta for well over a year :wink:

I donā€™t believe thereā€™s any further log collection, but I canā€™t say for sure. I think it wouldā€™ve been pointed out explicitly if there was.

The beta just gives you access to features a week early and I think thatā€™s well worth it :wink:

Thanks!

Maybe a Monzo employee could confirm whether itā€™s just an early version or there are any more analytics being collected.

Tempted to sign up anywayā€¦

My understanding is that the beta version is basically the final version that will go out.

So feature x is built and tested internally but the android team, then rolled out to an internal beta team.

When theyā€™re confident itā€™s ready for release, itā€™s pushed to the Google Beta group.

Where we then get to play with it for a week. In this time itā€™s not really expected to find any problems, itā€™s just getting more device testing etc.

Then it gets pushed to the release for the world.

The difference between the beta and final being very minor.

Or, thatā€™s my understanding of the process. With the iOS version being the same process, but done on alternate weeks.

This is generally how it works within the Google play store anyway.

Rolling out from Beta to Production involves clicking 1 button, Creating a new release takes a few steps (still much easier to release on Android than on iOS in my opinion.
