ZapTube Bot v1.4.4

What's New

• Added automatic private-chat image-to-sticker conversion, disabled in groups.
• Improved sticker conversion so image proportions are preserved.

• Updated bot messages so user-facing bot replies follow the selected bot-message language.
• Added MIT license and README support links.

Previous v1.4.3 Highlights

• Added a WhatsApp Blocklist in Settings with a modern add/remove number interface.
• Blocklisted numbers are ignored by the bot without disconnecting WhatsApp.
• Fixed bottom navigation page syncing.
• Improved dark mode system bar icon contrast.
• Improved bot-message language handling for all listed languages.

Previous v1.4.2 Highlights

• Blocked bot startup until WhatsApp has a saved linked-device session.
• Auto-start on boot now skips startup when WhatsApp is not paired or connected.
• Fixed update checking/downloading so network work runs off the Android main thread.
• Fixed bot-message language so search results, status labels, download captions, and user-facing errors follow the selected bot language.

Previous v1.4.1 Highlights

• Added GitHub release update checking from the About card.
• When a newer APK is available, the app downloads it and opens the Android installer.
• If Android blocks APK installs from this app, it opens the required permission screen.
• The app is now locked to portrait orientation.

Notes

Android does not allow a normal app to replace itself silently. The updater automates checking and downloading, then Android requires the user to confirm installation.

Previous v1.4.0 Highlights

• App language and bot message language default to the Android system language.
• Unsupported system languages fall back to English.
• Redesigned Settings and improved light/dark theme colors.
