v1.3.1

TypeType for Android 1.3.1

TypeType for Android 1.3.1 is a maintenance update focused on smoother Shorts
and playback transitions.

The application is still in beta. Thank you to everyone reporting problems and
helping improve it.

Improvements

• Shorts now transition more smoothly while swiping.
• Upcoming Shorts are prepared earlier to reduce visible loading.
• Autoplay now keeps the player in fullscreen when the next video starts.
• The Up next screen no longer reappears after autoplay has already started the
  next video.
• Video frames are preserved more reliably during temporary player resets.
• A video thumbnail is shown while the next video is preparing instead of a
  black screen.

TypeType for Android remains compatible with Android 6.0 through Android 17 and
does not require Google Play Services.

If you encounter a problem, please open an issue in the
TypeType-Android repository.
