Hi everyone, I hope you are well! ### The updates As per our [release schedule](https://community.blokada.org/t/the-release-schedule-for-blokada-apps/3701/2), today we are releasing the following updates: - Blokada 5.8 for Android (beta) → - [blokada.org](https://blokada.org/#download) (available) - Blokada 5.7 for iOS (stable) → - Uploaded to App Store (in review) ### Blokada 5.8 for Android - beta This update improves the [Networks](https://go.blokada.org/networks) feature introduced last week. The detection of current network has been improved, as well as the speed of engine restarts for reconfiguration. Please keep your feedback coming if you are using this feature! ### Swedish We now have complete Swedish translations for both Android, iOS, Web, and our Homepage. Thank you for everyone who keeps our translations awesome. If you wish to translate Blokada to your language, [please follow this simple guide](https://community.blokada.org/t/translating-blokada/112). ### Other updates The App Store just received Blokada 5.7 for iOS. This update brings minor stability and UI improvements. As usual, details are available in [the changelog](https://community.blokada.org/t/blokada-changelog/149). Just for your information, the last week’s updates of Blokada 5.7 for Android have been accepted by Huawei App Store and Samsung Galaxy Store. We are still waiting for F-Droid (for both Blokada 5.7 and Blokada 4.10), and are fighting with Google Play to accept the location permission needed for the recently introduced Networks feature. ### The recap Just to recap, if you haven’t been following our announcements closely, here are some shortcuts for the newest cool stuff we introduced: - [Networks](https://go.blokada.org/networks) (you can use network’s DNS now) - Netflix unlocked - [Blokada DNS](https://community.blokada.org/t/blokada-dns-available-for-everyone-blokada-5-4-update/6694/6) (public beta) - The new [design of blokada.org](https://community.blokada.org/t/the-new-blokada-org-is-released/7013/6) - The new [dashboard for Blokada Plus](https://community.blokada.org/t/the-new-blokada-dashboard-and-black-friday-deal/7540/4) Finally, as usual we updated the blocklists, and translations. We also made some minor bugfixes. More in [the changelog](https://community.blokada.org/t/blokada-changelog/149).

Thank you. But the Netflix Unlocked link is broken. It leads to a non-existent page. Just letting you know. ---

Thanks for sorting out the Samsung Galaxy Store 🙂 Could the “[Where can I download Blokada](https://community.blokada.org/t/where-can-i-download-blokada/372)” FAQ be updated to list the Galaxy/Huawei stores? ---
