| Mudita Announces the Release of MuditaOS K 1.5.0 for Kompakt | ||||||
 Mudita has released MuditaOS K 1.5.0, the latest software update for the Mudita Kompakt minimalist E ink® phone. The update introduces meaningful refinements that improve daily interactions while preserving the calm, distraction-free experience that defines the device.Mudita Kompakt was created around a simple idea: technology should support people's lives, not compete for their attention and MuditaOS K 1.5.0 strengthens this philosophy by refining the essentials that users rely on every day. From a redesigned keyboard and expanded language support to clearer privacy controls and improved call handling, the update focuses on making the core experience smoother and more intuitive. Several additions, including Assisted GPS (A-GPS) and diagnostic reporting options, are also designed around choice. These features are available when they are helpful, but they are never required. Users decide what to enable and how their phone fits into their daily routine. Many of the improvements in this release were inspired directly by feedback from the Mudita community, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency and thoughtful product evolution. Top Improvements in MuditaOS K 1.5.0 The update introduces several practical enhancements that improve everyday usability. Among the most impactful are: Redesigned Kompakt Keyboard: A completely rebuilt keyboard experience with expanded language support and multiple layout options. The update introduces 10 supported keyboard languages, layouts such as QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Dvorak and Colemak, word suggestions, auto-correction, and improved access to special characters and symbols. Sentry Diagnostic Reporting Opt-Out: In response to community feedback, users can now disable automatic diagnostic reporting. While Sentry reports are anonymous and help the team detect bugs faster, this update provides a clear option to turn the feature off for those who prefer not to share any diagnostic data. Optional Assisted GPS (A-GPS): An optional feature that enables faster satellite location locking by downloading satellite data through the mobile network. The feature is disabled by default and accompanied by a clear privacy explanation so users understand exactly how it works. Swipe-to-Action Call Handling: Incoming calls on the lock screen can now be managed using a swipe gesture. This approach reduces accidental touches and prevents unintended actions when the phone is in a pocket or bag. Pocket-Wake Prevention Fix: Improvements to screen wake behavior prevent the display from activating during incoming calls while the phone is in a pocket, helping avoid accidental inputs and improving battery efficiency. Designed for Everyday Simplicity MuditaOS K 1.5.0 reflects Mudita's commitment to improving the essentials rather than adding complexity. The update focuses on three key ideas: - Listening closely to community feedback, especially regarding privacy and control - Improving everyday interactions such as typing and calling - Expanding accessibility through broader language and regional support Rather than transforming Mudita Kompakt into a traditional smartphone, the update reinforces its purpose as a device designed for mindful technology use. Mudita Kompakt continues to offer a simpler approach to mobile technology, helping users stay connected when necessary while protecting their time, focus, and privacy. The MuditaOS K 1.5.0 update is now rolling out to Mudita Kompakt users. For more information, visit: * Amazon: Amazon.com * Website: Mudita.com |
