## What's new

The installed iPhone and Android walking apps can keep recording when you lock the screen or switch to another app. GPS points are saved on the phone and recovered when you return, before the route is saved. Browser recordings explain that their screen needs to stay open.

The native apps build successfully, but signing and outdoor checks on real phones are still required before release. The mobile setup guide explains installation and the checks to run.
