Progress update: Core App

[samx300 (Sam M.)]

Hiya - maybe I missed this one, but can we please have the option to use the new (Android 10/Pixel 4) biometric authentication when opening the Monzo app? At the moment the app just opens and I don’t find this very secure. I enabled the new biometric authentication toggle in Labs but that is only used during payments not the initial launching of the app.

iOS (my wife’s Monzo app) seems to have this feature where she uses FaceID to open the app.

Thanks!

It’s in the settings section of the app

[samx300 (Sam M.)]

Hi, I have enabled that option (after turning on the labs feature) - and restarted the app, but all to no avail. Note, I do not see the option shown in your screenshot (Use fingerprint to unlock app) - I am on Android 10.0 using a Pixel 4 XL.

yh, pretty sure someone from Monzo confirmed the thread about biometrics that it’s currently only for authorising payments and that App unlock was a whole other ballgame they’re yet to work on

EDIT
Turns out I commented this in the previous thread for someone else with the same issue Hope it helps:

@Fkofilee

Is this going to allow Sign in Via Face Unlock? I hope so as I thought this would work if enabled.

@guille

No, that’s a separate kind of work that needs to happen. This is to authorise payments.

[samx300 (Sam M.)]

Alright - good to know its’ on their roadmap (Hopefully!)

@bruno Hate to harass you, any news on a timeframe other than just Q1 for pot hiding on iOS? Thanks

Hopefully soon.

Anyone else get quite regular crashs on the first load of the day?

[don_quixote]

Haven’t had a crash myself. What phone are you on?

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

Not seen that myself but I can’t open from a notification without it crashing

[nathanthomson8 (Nathan)]

Iphone 8 plus, girlfriend also getting the same on her 6s.

It usually happens on the feed updating for the first time each day.

My app crashes regularly when I’m not using it. I get an iOS pop-up telling me that the app has crashed in the background, and do I want to report it. It’s been happening for the past few TestFlight releases. (iPhoneXS on iOS 13.3)

I can’t open from a notification without it crashing

I had a similar thing for Monzo Chat notifications when using Monzo on iOS:

[iOS] Clicking Monzo Chat notification causes app to freeze

Issue: After clicking on notification for a Monzo Chat reply, the Monzo app freezes on a screen with the Monzo logo and the keyboard (see Screenshots). Monzo app then needs to be restarted to work. NB: you have to leave the Monzo app dormant until it looks like this in the iOS app switcher (from double pressing the Home button): [Photo%2024-01-2019%2C%2020%2053%2042] Details to reproduce: Receive Monzo Chat message while not on the Monzo app ==> wait ~10 mins without going on the Monzo app …

I’m getting this more and more often too.

Hiding and sorting pots is cool

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

You switched to ?

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

Yeah, I hope it’s better at bouncing than the iPhone was

[Ordog]

Welcome to Android! I used to have iOS all my life until a couple of years ago when I made the switch. To be fair there isn’t that much difference

Monzo Labs: Ordering Accounts and Pots

Hey all, quick update on sorting Pots on iOS: this won’t make it to Labs before end of Q1 (end of March). We haven’t dropped it but we’re still working on a few other bits before we can pick it up on iOS. Side note, the new category picker is now in Labs for the latest version (will hit Beta/Test channels this week).
