Update 6 July 2026: a bit late, but Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 RC is now available for testing.
Notable changes
Morph Browser no longer crash when visiting certain sites with unusual text encoding.
Morph Browser should no longer freezes the phone when using it for a long time or switching tabs frequently.
The issue where Morph Browser and/or webapps shows black screen should occur less frequently. We'll work on an issue to eliminate it completely in the future.
Context menu in simple webapps (such as those created with Webber app) is no longer broken.
On-screen keyboard no longer overflows to the screen edges.
Video playback and video recording on some devices should no longer be broken.
Group MMS should be more robust, especially when receiving a message from a new group.
Notable known issues
If networking-related indicator items get pushed over the notch area, they currently can't be split up. This is the limitation of the current notch avoidance implementation. We'll work on this in the future.
Notch avoidance does not work yet on landscape mode.
Morph Browser is known to be broken on some older devices, such as (original) Volla Phone and Sony Xperia X.
While Widevine could now be installed in Morph Browser, some sites (e.g. Netflix) might impose further restrictions on what browser it supports.
Hardware video decoding in the updated Morph Browser is not working. Video playback still works, but will be done in software, increasing power usage (qt6-webengine#1).
Morph Browser's new tab page is not fully functional. In particular, it doesn't show bookmarked sites correctly (morph-browser#624)
We're still working on issue with mouse position on built-in screen affecting the trackpad on Volla Tablet's keyboard cover. As such, Volla Tablet will not receive 24.04-2.0 at this time.
Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 as this point. Normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release.
Note: we're aware of the issue with our forums where some users are unable to login. If you're unable to post your reply to the forums, you can also discuss the testing of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 RC on Telegram.
