Hello Oonitarians,
OONI Probe mobile 2.3.0 is out!
You can update to the latest OONI Probe version directly from the app store of your platform:
* Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openobservatory.ooniprobe
* iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1199566366
* F-Droid (coming soon): https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.openobservatory.ooniprobe/
The latest OONI Probe release for Android & iOS includes the following exciting new features:
1. Ability to re-test URLs.
This means that as soon as you have tested a batch of URLs, you can very easily re-test them all with the tap of a button. This is particularly useful if you're testing a set of URLs from an OONI Run link, and you'd like to keep testing the same batch of URLs on an ongoing basis. The more data we can collect on the same URLs, the better!
2. Ability to test ALL of the URLs in the Citizen Lab test lists in one go!
Previously, you could only test a random selection of URLs via the mobile app due to bandwidth constraints. Now with this new feature, if you're connected to WiFi, you can disable the test duration in the settings and test all of the URLs included in the Citizen Lab global + country-specific test lists. Essentially, what this means is that you can test a larger volume of websites in one go! Learn more about test lists here: https://ooni.org/get-involved/contribute-test-lists
The new release also includes a series of bug fixes and improvements, as documented here: https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/releases/v2.3.0
A noteworthy bug fix is that this release fixes the WhatsApp test bug that was leading to false positives (following recent changes to WhatsApp's infrastructure).
Hope you enjoy the latest release! Please spread the word: https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/1235884637567795200
