iPhone Hotspot Detection

When you're tethered to your iPhone, Network Weather now knows about it.

• Phone details — Shows your iPhone's name, battery level, signal strength, and cellular network type (5G, LTE, etc.) right on the gateway card
• Wi-Fi and USB — Works whether you're tethered over Wi-Fi or with a USB cable. USB tethering shows a phone icon instead of a generic "Thunderbolt Ethernet" label
• Android too — Detects Android hotspots and shows "Metered" and "Low Data" connection badges
• No false alarms — Previously, tethering showed "Router: Unknown" with 100% packet loss because the virtual gateway doesn't respond to probes. Now it skips those probes entirely

Spanish Language Support

The entire app is now available in Spanish (Latin American).

• Full translation — All menus, labels, status messages, health reports, onboarding, and educational popovers are translated
• Automatic — If your Mac is set to Spanish, the app switches automatically. No setting to toggle
• Technical terms preserved — DNS, VPN, SSID, and other technical terms stay in English for clarity

VPN + Hotspot

Using a VPN while tethered now works much better.

• ISP stays visible — Your real ISP is correctly identified even when connected through a VPN over a phone hotspot
• Seamless switching — Toggling your VPN on and off while tethered no longer causes the hotspot details to disappear
• DNS updates — Turning Cloudflare WARP or other VPNs on and off now properly updates your DNS server list instead of showing stale entries

Reliability

• UniFi error flood — Fixed an issue where UniFi users could see repeated "session expired" errors filling their logs
• Network map loading — Fixed a rare startup issue where the network map could fail to populate
• Battery friendly — Network probes now stop automatically when your connection goes down, instead of continuing to run in the background
• Routing table stability — Fixed a rare crash that could occur when the system routing table changed rapidly
• VPN display — Fixed an issue where VPN packet loss could display an incorrect value
• Internet outage detection — More reliably detects when your internet is down, even on routers that don't support UPnP
• General hardening — Addressed several potential crash scenarios across the app
