What's new

What changed in each version of Atlas, newest first.

Version 2.0.0

Released 14 November 2026.

Atlas 2.0 adds shortcuts for opening apps and editing text, emoji search and better speaker sound. The home page is new, and you can start using Atlas before setup is finished.

New

Quick open: give an app a letter, then hold Fn and press that letter to open it from anywhere. Set up Quick open.
Actions: hold Alt and press Z, Y, A, C, X or V to undo, redo, select all, copy, cut or paste.
Emoji search: press Sym and type a word, such as “pizza”, to find an emoji.
Skin tone: choose a skin tone for emoji with hands and people.
Keyboard light: slide your finger on the keys to turn on the keyboard light.
Better media: the speaker sounds fuller and clearer, without distorting at high volume.
Clearer calls: voices are easier to hear in WhatsApp and other app calls on the speaker.

Changed

The home page shows Keyboard, Shortcuts and Audio, with Help below.
Setup no longer blocks the app. Finish setup shows in each feature that still needs a step, and lists only the steps that feature needs.
To try the keyboard, open Keyboard and touch the keyboard icon at the top.
Every settings page uses the same text size.
Slip recovery period is now called Continue after a lift. Swipe vibration is now called Vibration.
Fn always opens apps, so the Hyper key setting is gone.
When swipe typing is off, tap keys do not type, and Keyboard hides the swipe typing settings.

Fixed

Notifications at the top of the screen no longer catch swipes that start on the top row of keys.
Common words with double letters, such as “coffee”, are recognised more often.
The key where your swipe ends counts for more, so the last letter is right more often.
Alt and Backspace delete a whole word only when you hold Alt. A tapped or locked Alt deletes one letter.

Version 1.3.1

Released 9 November 2026.

Fixed

Long swipes, such as “investigating”, work again. Version 1.3.0 sometimes mistook one finger for two and stopped the swipe.

Version 1.3.0

Released 9 November 2026.

New

Switch keyboards: hold Sym to choose a different keyboard. A short press on Sym still shows emoji.
Lowercase start: at the start of a sentence, press Shift to type a lowercase letter, for words such as “iPhone” and “eBay”.

Fixed

Atlas no longer starts a new sentence after “e.g.”, “i.e.” or a full stop with no space after it, such as in “atlas.com”.
After you type with the keys, Atlas waits 0.4 seconds before a tap key types, the cursor starts moving or swipe vibration starts. This stops accidental touches while you type.
Two fingers on the keys no longer type a swipe or start moving the cursor.
Saved words show in the strip in their normal order, not always first.
Touching a word on the strip gives the same vibration as starting the cursor.
When swipe typing is off, the settings for swiping are hidden.

Version 1.2.0

Released 9 November 2026.

Version 1.2 makes typing with the keys much better, with emoji, spelling corrections and better word suggestions.

New

Emoji: press Sym to show emoji in the strip, with your recent emoji first. Move your finger across the keys to see more.
Spelling corrections: when you type with the keys, the strip shows the correct spelling of a misspelled word.
Better suggestions: the strip suggests more words, from the full dictionary. The best match is in the middle.
Longer words first: when you type with the keys, the strip shows longer words first. For example, “deli” suggests “delicious” and “delight”.
Next words: after you touch a word on the strip, the next suggestions show straight away.
Delete a word: hold Alt and press Backspace.
More symbols: when Alt is on, a short swipe on the keys shows more symbols.
Punctuation and capitals: Atlas removes a space before punctuation. It also fixes words such as “i” to “I” and “dont” to “don’t”, and “ill” to “I’ll” when the next word makes it clear.
Auto-punctuation setting: turn this off to stop these changes, including the full stop from a double space.
Swipe typing setting: turn this off to stop swipes typing words. Cursor control still works.
More fields: the strip now shows in address bars and private fields. Atlas still does not learn words from them.
Starter words: when you select all the text in a search bar, the strip suggests words to start with.

Fixed

Words with a typo are not saved. Atlas saves a new word after you use it 3 times, and forgets a word you delete straight after typing it.
A finger resting on the keys while you type no longer starts a swipe or types a tap key.
Words stay in the strip until the new suggestions are ready, so the strip no longer flickers.
The strip is hidden in password, email and number fields.
To move the cursor, you now lift your finger after pressing the space bar, then rest it again. Moving the cursor takes a slightly longer touch, with a stronger vibration. If the cursor does not move, the space bar types a space.
Atlas no longer vibrates when the cursor is already at the start or end of the text.
Screen readers read the best suggestion first.
Pressing Ctrl or Meta on its own no longer sends a shortcut to the app.
The strip no longer stays on the screen after an app closes a text field.
When you go back to an app, its text field stays open.

Version 1.1.0

Released 8 November 2026.

New

Move the cursor: rest your finger on the space bar until you feel a click, then slide left or right.
Update notes: after an update, Atlas shows what changed.
Setup: new steps help you set up Scroll assistant and turn on Atlas in Accessibility.
Guide: simpler instructions, and help with setup problems.

Fixed

One back swipe closes the strip and goes back.
Atlas starts a text field with a capital letter, even when the field has hidden characters at the start.

Version 1.0.1

Released 8 November 2026.

Fixed

The strip stays hidden on your launcher’s home screen, so typing to search stays clean.
The strip no longer comes back after an app closes a text box.

Version 1.0.0

The first version of Atlas brings swipe typing to the Titan 2 Elite’s physical keys.
