Swift Backup Updates
384_v3.1.3_Beta4.apk
Important notification: If you have taken backups using v3.1.3_Beta4 (👆), don't use/downgrade to the Play Store version of the app anymore or your local app backups taken with latest beta will not be available. PS: Latest beta seems to be stable for Google Play release and will be released soon.

12.6 MB
Important: Do not downgrade or use current Google Play release (v3.1.2) after you start taking backups with this release as there are some changes in backup formats that cannot be handled by versions below this release.

Changelog: https://news.1rj.ru/str/swiftbackupupdates/54

Changes since v3.1.3_Beta4

• Fixes and updated translations
• If you want to try out labels in this release: Go to SB Settings, About, tap Version 7 times (So original, much unique, I know). Go back to Settings > Restart app.

PS: Please don’t request anything related to labels at this time. Labels are still a work in progress.

Please be patient as these are huge changes and will roll out when both ‘labels’ and ‘configurations’ are done. No eta.
