What is new? Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 contains only minimal changes due to our current focus on Ubuntu base OS upgrade. Still there are interesting changes: VoLTE support is updated so that it works out-of-box with more carriers (thanks to Nikita (@Notkit) from Volla). Please note that we've tested VoLTE on a few Volla devices only. Other ports may have VoLTE support enabled; such support is experimental and may not always function correctly.
Waydroid has been updated to version 1.5.1, containing initial support for upcoming official Android 13 images, among other fixes (thanks to Jami (@deathmist) from Volla).
Font for emoji is switched from Emoji One to Noto Color Emoji, with improved support for some of the newer emojis (thanks to Alfred (@fredldotme)).
General bug fixes and security updates, both from upstream Ubuntu and from UBports.
