- Profile icons on notification tab are a bit easier to tap. - Notifications and Chat history should load a bit faster. - When viewing a profile, view more of a user's posts or replies with endless scroll once you hit the end of the loaded posts. - When jumping to a post detail on a post/reply on a user's profile, you should now return back in place where you were when you hit the back button to return to their feed. - Set preferred post language(s) to see on posts in your feeds. - You can now mute replies from specific users when muting from their profile page. - When viewing a thread, the OP user should have their posts all appear toward the top of the page. - When an Apple Music, Spotify, or BandCamp link is shared, get a better music specific embed. For Apple Music, you can listen to a preview in app, or full song if you're an Apple Music subscriber. - When composing a post, you can remove the URL after adding it, and the URL embed card will still remain unless you remove it. - Improve timeline position sync when switching accounts. - Fix a couple of reported crashes from few weeks. - Work toward fixing an issue with DPoP and account token sync with Bluesky. - Try to better preserve user handle facets when a punctuation trails a user name. - Work on fixing an issue where user profile avatars could be cut off top/bottom. - Better resiliency for saving drafts when switching apps. - Quickly upload the last photo you took when composing a new post.
