Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is here as the first release of Ubuntu Touch based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, a major update to the mobile operating system with new features like new logos, a built-in way to switch the theme of applications, theme live-switching, and experimental support for personal data encryption.

“Once enabled, your data will be encrypted using your passcode or passphrase. On boot, your device will enter a minimal UI where you’ll be prompted for your passcode or passphrase. Once your passcode or passphrase is entered, your device will open encrypted personal data and start the rest of the system,” said UBports.

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 also introduces a new layout for the Phone app designed for bigger screens, a new USB mode setting with support for internet sharing, support for showing the MAC address in Bluetooth settings, and a new rotate button for 1-time rotation.
