Your Feedback in Action with iOS 3.6.2

Here at Burner we’re always looking for your thoughts on the app. Today’s iOS update, which introduces three small but important changes, is a direct result of that feedback.

Burner 3.6.2 has improved phone number visibility in the Inbox, a redesigned Settings view, new number expiration warning banners, and a few other performance enhancements.

Phone Number Visibility

Your Burner numbers are now shown in the header of the Inbox, or main screen within Burner's apps.

Tap it to copy the number to your clipboard for easy sharing via text, email, messenger apps, or social media.

Number Expiration Warning Banners

Secondly, you now have more visibility into upcoming Burner expirations with warning banners in the Inbox that let you know when a line is low on minutes, texts or about to expire.

Burner Shortcuts

Pull Down Actions

We’ve also expanded our shortcuts. Pull down on the Inbox (drag your finger toward the bottom of the screen) to change your Burner color or add a background image. You can also "Copy number," "Mark all as read," or "Delete all messages" from here.

Redesigned Settings View

Finally, we’ve given Settings a fresh coat of paint and consolidated it to a single screen. More customization, fewer taps.

Core Settings
Under this subheader, you’ll find important functionality like rings, notifications, voicemail greeting, and caller ID.

We’re excited to share our latest Android release with you, Burner 3.6.2. We’ve made a lot of improvements to streamline the most commonly used parts of the Burner app.

This update makes the Inbox cleaner, offering you a view of all your messages at a glance. Messaging is much more fun and legible. And the new Settings screen makes it easier to customize your Burner with fewer taps.

Upgraded Inbox

The new Inbox view features:

  • More visibility into Burner expirations with banners that let you know when a line is low on minutes, texts or about to expire

  • A condensed message view so you can see more of your incoming texts and calls at a glance

  • The ability to change your Burner color by dragging down on the Inbox (we call them "pull down" actions). You can also mark all messages as read or delete them all here too.

Streamlined Messaging

We’ve punched up the contrast of the message bubbles for easier reading. Your contact photos are also included so you can tell who’s talking.

Redesigned Settings

The Settings screen has been redesigned to make it more clear how you can set up your lines. We’ve also renamed some of the options you see here:

Core Settings
- Important functionality including rings, notifications, voicemail greeting, and caller ID

Connections
- Try a new Connection and get more out of your Burners. Archive messages and voicemails to Google, respond to texts on Slack or crowdsource voicemails for your podcast.
