PhoneCam v1.7 — phone design polish + camera-blocked recovery card

A phone design polish release — small refinements from a design-focused review of the camera page, plus one real usability fix.

✨ On the phone

• "Camera blocked" recovery card. If Safari is blocking the camera (once you've tapped "Don't Allow", it never asks again), you no longer hit a dead-end — a persistent card shows the exact steps to fix it (aA → Website Settings → Camera → Allow) until you're back up.
• The framing grid stays visible over bright scenes. It used to fade out against white/bright video — exactly when you need it. It now has a subtle dark outline.
• Consistency & feel: the zoom slider now matches the same frosted-glass style as the other edge controls; the corner Stop has a softer red edge; lens pills, toggles and the zoom chip now give a little press animation when tapped; and selection highlights ease in instead of snapping.
• Small touches: the quality caption under Start gets a ⚙ hint and lines up under the button; a one-time tip points out the corner ■ Stop; and reduced-motion users now get a calmer experience (no shutter flash or focus-ring pop).

No changes to how streaming works — this is all visual/UX. The reliability fixes from v1.6 are included.

📦 Install

• PhoneCam-SingleFile.exe — one file, nothing to unzip (first run unpacks ~20 s, later runs instant). SmartScreen may warn → More info → Run anyway (unsigned, not harmful).
• PhoneCam-Portable.zip — the classic folder; extract anywhere and run PhoneCam.exe.
