**Plexamp v4.50.21-beta.3**

Desktop is on the beta channel now, and mobile is on TestFlight and Play testing. The main ones: the desktop sidebar can tuck away for a tab bar, and the widgets keep getting better.

**Added**

- Desktop: a button at the top of the sidebar tucks it away for a tab bar along the top, and brings it back.
- Android: a tall Now Playing widget fills its spare room with up to four upcoming tracks.

**Fixed**

- Desktop: the Albums, Singles and other headers on an artist page open the full list again.
- iOS and Android: Plexamp uses less memory when it starts.
- iPad: tapping the top bar or the sidebar’s button no longer scrolls the page back to the top.
- iPad: the sidebar highlights the section you just chose.
- iOS: the small widgets read better in CarPlay and on iPad.
- The Now Playing widget shows what’s next as Artist – Title, and its buttons are all one size.
- Android: Plexamp no longer crashes at launch on some older phones, such as the OnePlus 8 Pro.
- Android: playback no longer pauses itself at a track change with the screen off.
