- We have made various design adjustments to the user interface to improve accessibility, with a focus on the in-app and push notification screens. - We have refreshed the design of the tab bar so that it uses bold underline instead of the light background as a selected tab. This change is applied to the following screens in the app: Capture lead / List of the leads / Lead’s profile / Appointments / Session check-in dashboard / Live stream. - We have optimized the user experience when converting a draft lead, so that the converted lead is now automatically displayed after mapping the lead’s information.
