This version addresses a bug introduced in a previous version. It prevented the preloading of content, causing images and links to appear after the content was already displayed. This resulted in poor performance while scrolling.

Action menus have been revamped with a grouped layout on compatible devices, and actions have been reorganized to ensure uniformity throughout the application.

In addition, the media viewer now enables users to select text in images, choose image subjects for stickers, and search for information on various topics such as animals, plants, and locations.

Full Changelog

  • Added support for selecting text and image subjects from the media viewer
  • Fixed an issue preventing prefetching optimizations from working. This resulted in a lot of media and link previews loading in after posts have already been displayed.
  • Updated action menus with support for inline actions (requires iOS 16+)
  • Updated action menu icons and order for consistency

Thank you for the quick reply, that’s awesome!! It’s great to talk to such a responsive developer.

I’m not super savvy on the workflow, is this sent over to the test flight version? If so, how long until I can expect it to be pushed to live?

My pleasure! I had hoped to release the update yesterday, but I didn’t quite finish it. This particular feature is complete, but I have a few other features in the works that aren’t quite ready yet. However, I should be able to release the update on TestFlight tonight.

This will be the first TestFlight release after the last AppStore release. Therefore, the update will undergo the Apple review process before it goes live on TestFlight. Consequently, it’s likely that the update will be released on Friday or Saturday.
