- Android: press Home to show another app — sharing continues from the call notification.
- iOS: choose Buzzio in the system Start Broadcast picker.

Tips and limits
- App store "What's New" text can stay short; this page holds richer detail.
- Privacy-sensitive changes (encryption modes, retention, partners) get an explicit note here.
- If an update is Android-only or iOS-only, the entry will say so.
