Please make sure to update your device's operating system to the latest version to take advantage of the relock iPhone feature.
I also want to take a moment to ask for your help in spreading the word about my app. Marketing an app can be challenging, and I would be grateful if you could share the app with your friends and family, leave a review on the App Store, and help us reach more people who could benefit from my app.
Here's what's new in version 1.2.7:
- Adds a relock iPhone feature after using the Lock Screen widget (last iOS version only. Please update your device OS).

- Adds the roller shutter/blind's current position on button items (like for dimming lights).
- Adds a new "Launch Shortcut (without return)" action to launch actions like opening the TV remote, locking the phone.
