# What's New

The new HALO 5.0 release is a major upgrade, introducing a few exciting new features and a complete redesign of your settings. Learn more about what’s new below.&#x20;

***

## Layout Designer

*All plans.*

The new Layout Designer makes it easier to create and customize your booth layouts. You can now arrange frames, text, and images directly in the app. For more complex graphics or logos, you can still design those externally and import them into your layout.

#### Text Field

*All plans. Guest-editable text layers available on Plus & up.*&#x20;

Add text to your layout in your chosen font and color by typing directly into the Layout Designer. On Plus and higher plans, you can also allow guests to edit the text after capturing their photo.

Connect a Canon DSLR camera to your HALO setup for higher-quality captures.&#x20;

## WhatsApp Sharing

*All plans. Customizable photo credit available on Plus & up (32 character limit).*

Send photos directly through WhatsApp using Simple Booth’s business account.

Note: Photos are sent via links rather than image attachments.&#x20;

## Data Capture Refresh

*Pro & Select Plans.*

Enjoy a cleaner, more intuitive data collection experience. Error messages have been simplified, email and phone entry are easier to complete, and submitting forms or adding additional participants is now more seamless.

This update is already available in HALO 4.3.2 and later (available in the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simple-booth-halo/id1323267760)).
