I've reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they're up to something.

A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can't use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless "we improved the user experience" message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn't counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.

The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.

Yeah. I do the same. That "we are making improvements" text is corporate for "we don't have anything remotely close to change management or quality assurance".
