We are excited to announce that Square Reader for magstripe is now available with USB-C. Square Reader for magstripe (USB-C) enables you to take swipe payments by plugging in directly to the USB-C port on your tablet or mobile device, compatible with most USB-C Apple and Android devices (requires iOS 15.0+ or Android 7.0+).
We are introducing Square Kiosk, a self-serve ordering & payment solution for restaurant businesses. With Square Kiosk, sellers like you can keep your labor costs in line – not your diners. 
We’re thrilled to announce that flexible printing with different paper widths is now available on your Square Register.
We’ve rolled out a new feature – offline payments – that enables you to take dip and tap payments on Square Stand (2nd generation) and Square Reader for contactless and chip (2nd generation and 1st generation, v3) when you do not have internet connection.
We’ve recently improved customer data accessibility on Android for users who use accessibility tools or who need visual assistance. Now you can enable text-to-speech technology (i.e. TalkBack or BrailleBack) to access PII (Personally Identifiable Information).
Printer profiles are printer settings shared across devices and locations. Printer profiles can be created and updated on Point of Sale or on Square Dashboard. Updates sync across all devices.
You can now streamline checkouts by printing receipts for cash payments right from your connected Square Terminal and printing receipts from external printers. 
Moving forward, we have decided to shift our product focus to Android. Doing so will allow us to bring you even more functionality, faster. As such, we will only build new KDS features on Android, which means your current experience using Square KDS will stay the same; but your iOS device will no longer receive updates to the app. 
We’re excited to announce that you can now create Open Orders using Virtual Terminal. This new feature enables you to effortlessly create orders in Virtual Terminal, schedule a pickup time, manage and edit your unpaid orders in Dashboard, and process payments upfront or upon pickup. 
We never want you to miss a sale, even if your internet connection is unavailable. Now, you can opt-in to accept chip and PIN payments, Apple Pay, and Google Pay in Offline Mode for when you do not have internet connectivity! This feature previously launched on Square Terminal and is now available on Square Register as well!
