App Store Release Notes

Hey there! We’ve got some nifty updates for you in this release. Now you can check out your lists right in the app, because who doesn’t love a good list? If your server is feeling generous, you’ll enjoy our new notification filters. Filter away! We’ve sorted out the character counter on the compose screen, so you can add links without any counting mishaps. Crash fixes galore! The app is now more stable than your morning coffee routine. Widgets can finally retrieve data, and shortcuts are back to posting like champs.

Thanks for sticking with us and for all your feedback. We hope these tweaks make your app experience even better! Enjoy the update!

App Store Release Notes

Long time no see! Okay, joke's on us as it has been just a week or so since the last release. But we've been busy and this is why you can enjoy these rather short release notes for the latest and greatest 2024.7-release of Mastodon for iOS. It contains not one, but two improvements and bug fixes:

  1. We fixed a bug! In case you wanted to translate a reblogged status, this failed, but not anymore, as we fixed this! (IOS-271)
  2. An improvement! If the author of a blogpost or a newspaper article or a video producer or any other content creator on the internet has a Mastodon-account (and did some configuration), you will see a small, additional button if someone posts a link to their written piece or video or content in general. This button leads you to the author's profile so that you can discover more of their content. (IOS-284)

We hope that these numerous changes help you discover more content you like, but: No pressure! Use Mastodon only as much as it feels good to you. We don't want to lurk you in as we all know: There are way more important things in life than social media.

As always: This release wouldn't have been possible without your ongoing support. Thank you so much for that and for using Mastodon. It sparks so much joy to see people using the stuff you built. Until next time!

2024.6

App Store Release Notes

Hello there! We hope you enjoy the summer with a cold drink (if you live in the northern hemisphere) or the winter with a warm drink (if you live in the southern hemisphere). Regardless of where you live, you not only deserve peace and happiness, but also the 2024.6-release of Mastodon for iOS. And that comes with this:

  • A new Privacy & Safety-section in the Settings-part of the app. Here you can configure the default visibility for new posts, for example. (IOS-168)
  • A bug fix for our Number One-crash! When tapping in your own profile too quickly, this resulted in a crash. But don't worry: We got this! (IOS-255, GH-1257)
  • Speaking of bug fixes: When you tried to change your profile fields, some content got erased. We are really for if this happened to you. (GH-1290)
  • A little cleanup, that won't affect you: We removed old persistence code for cards and polls (IOS-178, IOS-182)
  • We improved "Load more"-behaviour in several parts throughtout the entire app. Loading new content should be waaaaaaayyyyyy faster now, nearly at the speed of light! (IOS-272)
  • When you update your profile-image, you will see that change now in the Tab-bar (IOS-277)
  • We fixed a bug that showed the "Load more"-button in your Home-timeline when there was no new content (GH-1288)

We hope that these fixes and improvements make your Mastodon-life a little easier. This release wouldn't have been possible without your ongoing support. Thank you so much for that and for using Mastodon and making the Web (and the world) a better place.

App Store Release Notes

Hey there! Welcome to the 2024.5 release of Mastodon for iOS. It's been a while but we worked on lots of bug fixes and (minor) improvements since the last version. 2024.5 comes with this:

  • We fixed some issues with the new, fancy "New Posts"-pill. For example, it disappears now if you scroll to top (like it is supposed to) (GH-1278)
  • Remember the screen to login when you have an existing account? We made the server selection more elegant (IOS-226)
  • Also related to Onboarding: We slightly updated the Privacy-screen and improved Keyboard-handling. (IOS-221)
  • You can finally change your profile picture again from the app. We introduced a bug in one of the last versions, but got it fixed with 2024.5. Sorry for any inconveniences. Now go and update your profile picture! (GH-1276)
  • Don't want to miss any content, but missed the "Load More"-button between posts? Great news: We found and fixed a bug so that it's finally there again, so you don't miss any of the great content any longer! (IOS-266)
  • We improved the stability of the app by reducing the crashes. Promise! (IOS-257, IOS-254)
  • If there's a loooooong toot with a Content Warning, we limited the height of that Content Warning. (IOS-278)
  • We fixed a bug related to polls: Your own choice is visible now (GH-1278)
  • The avatar-image in the bottom bar doesn't flicker anymore when switching tabs (IOS-238)
  • The menus for both profiles and toots got an update (IOS-231, IOS-229)
  • We removed some clutter on the Mentions-screen (IOS-270)
  • Once it'll be available on your instance, you'll see moderation warnings on the Notification-screen if you someone complained about you (IOS-264)

That's it! We hope, you enjoy those bug fixes and notice the new features.
Thank you so much for supporting us and using Mastodon!

2024.4

App Store Release Notes

Hello! Hello and welcome to another version of hand-written release notes for Mastodon for iOS. This time it's the 2024.4-release and we're working hard to keep up the schedule: One release per month! Just kiddin. Truth to be told: We're basically a bunch of lazy people but from time to time we think: Well, we should ship another release. And then we work really, REALLY hard to make the Mastodon-app better. And this is why the 2024.4-version contains this:

  • We (hopefully!) improved the polls! Voting and poll creation should be much smoother and way more stable now. Give it a try and ask those nice and helpful people on Mastodon what to have for dinner tonight! (IOS-181)
  • New month, new me! We updated the designs of the Home-screen, you can switch between your local community-timeline and the people you're following. We also updated the little indicator (we call it: Pill) that shows if there are new posts or if that toot was sent. Let us know how you like those changes! (IOS-234, IOS-235)
  • We also updated how we present the timestamp and other meta-information of a post (IOS-232)
  • Under the Explore-tab, we improved the interface which lets you choose between the most popular posts and other things to explore (IOS-237)
  • Remember that we added Domain-blocking a few releases ago? Turns out: You could block the community you're part of. This wasn't intended at all and we just missed that, sorry and thanks for reporting! (GH-1269)
  • We added a new visibility option to post. It's called either "Unlisted" or "Quiet public" and modernized the icons for those different options. (GH-1271)
  • Temporarily we turned off haptic feedback. But same as with the community timeline or a famous killing machine: I(t) will be back! (IOS-247)
  • Last, but not least we tweaked how the number of people is presented. (GH-1266)

You see: Lots of new bits and pieces to improve the Mastodon-experience step by step. And we will keep making it better. Thank you so much for supporting us and using Mastodon and enjoy the rest of this day and week and month and year and so on!

App Store Release Notes

Hello and welcome to the release notes of the 2024.03-version of Mastodon for iOS. We're working hard to fix the bugs we introduced a few versions earlier and so this release mostly contains bug fixes and improvements. And without further ado it's an honor to present the release notes:

  • Have you checked out the new settings-area yet? We added some more options there. For example you can set the default language for posts there or activate if you want to be asked before unfollowing someone. (IOS-166)
  • Pardon my french: We fixed a bug for french-speaking users. If you wanted to compose a long post, the app crashed when it was too long. Thanks to you for reporting it and thanks to us for fixing it. Great teamwork! (GH-1255)
  • We switched the tabs on the notification-screen so that it matches the other Mastodon-apps. (IOS-240)
  • When you wanted to reply to a status, your handle showed up twice. Sure, your name is really nice, but once is enough (GH-1254)
  • We fixed the cursor-color for the input for image descriptions. Now it sparks more joy to write image descriptions. This is a subtle hint: WRITE IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS!. (GH-1253)
  • The app has its own User-Agent now. It also constains the version number. (GH-1098)
  • We removed the Community-tab from the Explore-tab. It was kind of hidden but don't worry: It'll come back soon, stay tuned! (IOS-236)
  • We fixed a bug (twice!) that didn't let you edit your profile. Now you can change your handle and your bio again and upload a nice avatar. Sometimes you need more than one shot. (GH-1244, IOS-239, GH-1259)
  • We cleaned up some dust in the project. This won't affect your daily use. Promise! (GH-1248, GH-1247, GH-1252)

That's it! We're steadily working on improving the app, adding new features (and the community-tab!) and fixing nasty bugs. And, as always, this wouldn't be possible without you! And you are also the reason why we keep making things better: It's some awesome and wholesome to see all you people actually use Mastodon. So: Keep using it, please!

App Store Release Notes

Welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS. Some time has passed, but the latest version is finally here: Say hello to 2024.02! It's mostly a maintenance release, nothing special:

We fixed some bugs related to widgets (GH-1234) and hashtag-search (GH-1233) and improved performance throughout the entire app (GH-1237, GH-1192, GH-1230, GH-1229, GH-1227). Oh, and we improved sharing (GH-1199).

That's it, please enjoy the latest and greatest of Mastodon so far. In the meantime we're improving the app step by step. Have a great day!

App Store Release Notes

This is a first!

Hello and welcome to the first release of Mastodon for iOS in 2024. We've worked hard, searched (and found and fixed) bugs and looked for other improvements. And we increased the speed, otherwise this wouldn't be the first release, right? Still, it comes with a truckload of stuff:

  • Say hello to my little friend: Domain blocks! You're really annoyed by a bunch of people from the very same instance? Well, instead of blocking them individually, you can block the entire instance now, right from the app. To do so, head to the profile of that person as if you wanted to block them but block the domain. Now you can rest in peace and by resting in peace I mean enjoying Mastodon more than ever, of course! (IOS-5)
  • We made some huge progress in our long-term project: Performance Improvements. Using the app should be significantly faster now, as we reworked the Status-handling throughout the entire app. (GH-1167, GH-1210, IOS-214)
  • Speaking of speed: We reduced the amount of Network-requests sent to your Mastodon-instance when you scroll the Home-timeline. And we also don't fetch data anymore we don't need in the Status-menu. Why downloading stuff you don't need, right? Instead the app now fetches the data for the menu, when you need them. (GH-1214, GH-1213)
  • You know, that you can edit your statuses afterwards, right? This comes in super handy when you fidn a tpyo in a status, for example. What you couldn't edit were image descriptions, also known as alt text. Well, now you can. This will also be super useful as it means that you can — and should! — add descriptions to images later, if you forgot that in the first place. (GH-1138)
  • We fixed a bug that the app didn't respect the post-length defined on your server. (GH-1049)
  • When we improved the credentials-handling in 2023.14, we forgot to make the Widgets use the new code. As a consequence the Wdgets couldn't login into your account which means that you couldn't use the Widgets. Sorry! (GH-1201)
  • Search also got a little better: We fixed an endless loop when something went wrong. (GH-1188)
  • Last but not least, we fixed a nasty bug that one offline account affected other accounts. In other words: If you have multiple accounts in the app with one being a suspended or expired account, this prevented the other accounts from being used, too. We cut the ties here. (GH-1178)

That's it! This is all the 2024.01-release of Mastodon contains. We didn't hide any other things like secret bug fixes or various improvements in there. Maybe we should declare it organic software?

Anyway, thank you for reading these hand-crafted release notes. And, of course: Thank you for using Mastodon!

2023.16

Welcome to another release of Mastodon for iOS. Consider this our special offer: It's free! We've been quite busy in the last couple of days, but we want you to enjoy the latest and greatest bug fixes as soon as possible. This release is the 16. this year, that's why the version number is 2023.16. And it features this:

  • We fixed a bug that wouldn't let you logout on iPad. When you tried to logout, well, the app crashed, but only on iPad. Thanks to everyone who reported it (and sorry for the crash)! (GH-1172)
  • Speaking of logging out: When you restarted the app right after logging out, well, you were still logged in as we didn't remove the credentials properly. (GH-1181)
  • Another credential-related bug: In the 2023.14-release, we added a bug so you couldn't share to Mastodon from another app. It resulted in the very precise error message "No available account". Well, good news everyone: We found your account! And we fixed the bug, so that you can share interesting articles and memes with your friends on Mastodon. Right in time for #Caturday. (GH-1168)
  • This is the first contribution of Rizwan and we're very grateful for that: When you double-tap the search tab, it focuses the search bar so that you can start searching right away. Thank you, Rizwan! (GH-748)
  • You Hometimeline shouldn't forget your position any longer when you switched tabs. (GH-744)
  • We added some performance improvements for "Familiar Followers". (IOS-195)

That's it for now. We hope, that you didn't spend too much on special offers. Although Mastodon is free for you to use, it's not free to develop. That's why we're so grateful for your ongoing support. The less you spend on special offers, the more you can spend on us!

Just kidding, have a lovely time.
