Community-Requested Features and Bug Fixes
Last updated on December 7, 2021.
These updates are for app features and bug fixes that are commonly requested by the Pioneer community. These updates do not include the wider scope of features or bugs that the Core Team works on, like the Node, Testnet, Pi Wallet, platform etc.
November 2021 Deployments
DEPLOYED - Name update “appeal” for minor corrections- There will be an in-app feature to allow a Pioneer to request for an appeal of the name update information, where the Pioneer can document the correct information about the name on their identification document and explain the mistake that was made. A complete name change will not be allowed, and only minor corrections may be acceptable. An appeal will need to be processed, and it can be accepted or rejected.
Currently In Progress
FEATURE - Phone Number Change - There will be an in-app feature to allow a Pioneer to change their phone number.
BUG - Phone number sign-in - In the sign in process, a user enters their phone number and password, and then they receive the registration page, when they expect to either log into the account or to receive an error message.
BUG - Security Circle - When trying to add another Pioneer to the Security Circle from the phone contacts, an error message states, “user can't be added”.
BUG - Can’t Add Number - When trying to add a phone number to the Pi account, an error message states “Can’t add this number”.
Waiting In Queue
FEATURE - Username Change - There will be a process in place to allow a Pioneer to make a request to change their username. This will only be restricted to cases where the username is a privacy/security concern or contains vulgarity.
BUG - SMS Text - Phone verification or account recovery requires a Pioneer to send an SMS text. After sending the text, either nothing happens, or there is an infinite spinner with the message “Waiting for verification”. More solutions will come.
BUG - User Already Exists - When trying to verify a Facebook account to the Pi account, an error message states “A user already exists with this Facebook account”.
BUG- Ping Inactive - Some Pioneers may receive an error message after clicking on “PING INACTIVE”. This may affect Pioneers with larger earning teams.
