Update your device to /e/OS 3.1.1
We’re excited to announce the arrival of /e/OS 3.1.1, now available for all supported devices, whether you’re using an Official or a Community build. This new release brings a refined experience with a series of updates and improvements designed to enhance usability and performance across the board.
Users of the new Fairphone (Gen. 6) will especially benefit, with key features like Mobile Data and VoLTE now enabled by default. The /e/OS Camera has also been enhanced to support 50 MP photos, and installation of /e/OS is now fully supported via the /e/OS Installer.
Live Caption becomes more user-friendly as caption text can now be repositioned for better readability and accessibility.
For families using /e/OS, Parental Control includes a crucial update. A clear warning now reminds parents to save the security code they define, as there’s no way to recover it if forgotten.
Third-party app compatibility has been improved on several devices, including the Fairphone 3, 4, 5 and the new Gen. 6. This ensures a smoother and more consistent app experience across these models.
Good news for CMF Phone 1 users: /e/OS 3.1.1 brings key fixes that improve your daily experience. USB-C wired audio now works properly, switching between front and back cameras is smooth again, and Wi-Fi calling with sim.de is fully functional. We’ve also corrected the Murena boot logo display for a cleaner startup look.
System updates include a new browser version, an updated microG, and faster fake location switching in Advanced Privacy. App Lounge and Calendar behavior have been refined, and tablet navigation and setup flows are now smoother.
From better parental controls to fixed camera UI and a more stable launcher, /e/OS 3.1.1 is packed with refinements.
We encourage everyone to update to /e/OS 3.1.1 and enjoy the latest refinements.
Make the Privacy SHIFT Happen: Murena launches a new Murena SHIFTphone 8
Murena has launched a new privacy-friendly and sustainable device – Murena SHIFTphone 8, the, result of their partnership with SHIFT.
The Murena SHIFTphone 8, running /e/OS has a modular design: with 18 removable components you can easily repair it yourself.
You might want to document your outdoor adventures with its powerful camera.
The device is resistant to water jets and even ensures protection from heavy rain. The Murena SHIFTphone 8 is IP66 certified.
Or you maybe want to completely turn off Big Tech surveillance with the hardware switch in everyday life. To ensure there are no prying eyes or listening ears, simply remove the back cover of the phone and activate the kill switch with a thin object. This will physically disconnect the camera and microphone.
You might have been waiting for our privacy-focused, user-friendly /e/OS on exactly this kind of device. Here it is.
