Version History
v8.5.0—2 Aug, 2025
Ever try unfollowing someone and the app just… ignored you? Yeah, we weren’t listening. But we hear you now. That button’s back to doing what it should.
We also gave the app a mini health check — fewer crashes, smoother moves, and just a little more pep in every tap.
Oh, and for those quietly managing subscriptions? A gentle refresh awaits you too.
Update now. Feels like a sigh of relief wrapped in code.
v8.4.1—13 Jul, 2025

v8.3.1—25 Jun, 2025
What’s New:
Behind the scenes, tiny tune-ups keep everything steady and accurate.
Improvements:
Sometimes features stop serving their purpose. We’ve said goodbye to the “Report” option in chatrooms after noticing it was being crowding the space with noise. Update today for conversations that feel lighter, kinder, and distraction-free.
