Users can now hide the Celia keyboard status bar in the PC mode. Tap on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the screen to turn the status bar display on or off.
It supports direct editing of screenshots captured in PC mode, allowing you to use features such as adding text and cropping. Some pop-up windows now display system virtualization data, and the update also smoothens the experience with keyboard shortcuts.
