ARK Phone 1.27 10 Sep 2026
What's new
Caller announcement no longer goes silent for good after a Speech Services update: when the speech engine's binding dies underneath a long-running app, the app now rebuilds it and speaks the name again (this was eleven days of vibrate-only calls in voice-only announce mode).
Android 17 notification rows now show the handset for call notifications and the speech bubble for message notifications again — Android 17 had started drawing the app's launcher icon on every row, which made a missed call look like a text message.
A conversation opened but never sent no longer leaves an empty row in the conversations list.
The version shown in Settings now names its build (for example 1.27-release).
