This release of Black Highlighter comes with a bunch of bug fixes!
- Significantly sped up presentation of detected text, which fixes a crash that could happen in an image with lots of separate text boxes.
- Fixed an issue on iOS/iPadOS where buttons were invisible when picking photos in light mode.
- Added a button on iOS/iPadOS to get to help/settings when Black Highlighter isn’t granted photo library access, making it easier to keep your photos private.
