Kia Access "New Digital Features" Notification?

I have a 2026 Kia Sportage EX.

A few days ago, the infotainment system installed an over-the-air (OTA) update while the vehicle was parked. I didn't catch the release notes, so I have no idea what the update actually changed.

Then today I received a notification from the Kia Access app that said:

"Personalize Your Kia with exciting new Digital Features and Services."

When I tapped the notification, it just opened the Kia Access app, and I couldn't find anything new or different.

Has anyone else received this update and notification?

- Did the OTA update actually add any new features?

- Was the Kia Access notification just advertising paid services, or did it correspond to something that changed in the vehicle?

- Is there somewhere I can view the release notes after the update has already been installed?

I'd appreciate hearing what others have found, if anything.

What is happening between these two Hooded Orioles?

It's an adult male and a juvenile male (I'm assuming from the neck patch). The juvenile seems old enough to no longer be asking to be fed. The adult seems to be flinging nectar at the juvenile, but then they seem to be involved in some sort of dance.

Crusty, flaky dark lesions, not Cushing's. Not an emergency

I did read the wiki/sticky about skin conditions - I just want to know if they look familiar to anyone who might know what they are.

The vet looked at this last Monday and tested him for Cushing's disease for the second time in six months, which was confirmed negative. She still doesn't know what this is.

She put him on antibiotics (Marboquin (Zeniquin)) for 30 days for whatever this is. We are treating each lesion with Chlorhexidine and Ketoconazole wipes and shampoo.

They look like crusty age spots and they are everywhere and very flaky. I've shaved most of his back to better treat them but I may have the groomer shave his entire body since I know there are many more. They are not bothering him and acts like he's not even aware of them.
