Mobile updates

iOS and Android app changes

  1. Signing In Again No Longer Starts From Scratch

    Mobile

    A sync reliability update. Signing in again with the same account — say, after a session expired — wiped the device and re-downloaded tens of thousands of posts from scratch. The reset now happens only when the account actually changes; a same-account sign-in keeps your data. Also fixed: an interrupted first sync left some posts permanently missing on that device — it now resumes where it stopped, and on a device that already drifted, pull to refresh finds and fills in posts that exist only on the server. Finally, sharing a post whose original was deleted (like a removed tweet) kept retrying on every app launch and reappearing in Activity; it now fails once and stays failed, with a manual retry on the card if you want it.

    • Signing in again with the same account no longer triggers a full re-sync — your data stays put.
    • An interrupted first sync resumes, and pull to refresh fills in posts missing on this device only.
    • Deleted posts no longer reappear in the Activity list; the manual retry on the failed card still works.
  2. A Video Tile Should Open the Video

    Mobile

    The last update made tapping a mosaic tile open its photo or video fullscreen, but on video tiles it did nothing and you landed on the post body instead. The reader does not autoplay video, so at the moment of the tap there was no player to present fullscreen, and the call never ran. The tap now brings the player into existence first, so the video opens. Separately, the long-press preview gained a speaker button. Previews start silent — a long press is easy to trigger by accident and often happens in public — and turning sound on carries across the rest of the app.

    • Tapping a video tile in the mosaic now opens the video fullscreen. Photo tiles already worked from the last update.
    • The long-press preview has a speaker button to turn sound on or off.
    • Previews start silent, and turning sound on carries across the rest of the app.
  3. Peek from the Mosaic, Leave with a Pull

    Mobile

    The mosaic exists to show photos and video, yet tapping a tile always opened the text first. Now a long press brings up a preview with the media playing large, right where you are, and a plain tap opens the post’s main photo or video fullscreen straight away. Swiping either up or down from there takes you to the post, so you look first and read when you want to. In the reader, pulling up at the end of a post can now leave it and return to your list. The old gesture stays the default for anyone used to it — turn the new one on in Settings. We also found the pull gesture was doing nothing at all on posts short enough to fit the screen, which is fixed, along with text selecting itself while scrolling the reader on Android.

    • Long press a mosaic tile for a preview with the media playing large, with the common actions underneath.
    • Swipe between images inside the preview when a post has several.
    • Tap a tile to open its main photo or video fullscreen right away. Swipe up or down from there to reach the post.
    • Pull up at the end of a post to leave it and return to your list (Settings → Behavior). Pulling down at the top still opens actions.
    • Fixed the pull gesture doing nothing at all on posts short enough to fit the screen.
    • Fixed text selecting itself while scrolling the reader on Android.
    • Video keeps playing in a floating window when you leave the app.
    • Fixed bulk place search ignoring the provider picked in the menu.
  4. Your Layout Sticks, and X Threads Stay Together

    Mobile

    Switch your library to Mosaic and it used to snap back to List on the next launch. Now the last layout you picked stays, and Settings → Behavior lets you set a default layout outright. X (Twitter) threads are archived as one post instead of scattered replies. Also fixed: archives added mid-sync being skipped for good, truncated media downloads passing as finished archives, and dismissed activity cards resurrecting on every app start.

    • The last library layout you picked survives app restarts.
    • Settings → Behavior adds a default layout setting.
    • X (Twitter) threads are archived as one post instead of scattered replies.
    • Google places are saved in your app language, not the server region’s.
    • Fixed archives added mid-sync being skipped by sync.
    • Fixed truncated media downloads passing as finished archives.
    • Fixed dismissed activity cards coming back on every app start.
    • Feedback threads are easier to read, with page attachments and more reliable uploads.
  5. A Mini Map on Place Details — and the Map Follows a Place You Add

    Mobile

    Checking where a place is meant leaving its detail screen and finding it again on the map. Now the detail screen pins it on a mini map. Add a place from the map, and the camera moves to it the moment it saves. Google place search results now show ratings, photos and reviews, so picking the right one of two same-named shops is no longer a guess.

    • Place details pin the location on a mini map.
    • Add a place while looking at the map, and the camera moves to it the moment it appears. Leave the map and it stays put.
    • Google place search results show ratings, photos and reviews.
    • Map labels follow the app language.
    • Fixed deleted places reappearing in the list.
    • The app is lighter — background work is prepared only when needed.
    • Fixed Google places showing their address as the name, claiming 0 reviews, and saving a thumbnail-sized photo. These are server-side and already live — re-archive the same link and the name, reviews and a full-size photo come back together.
  6. Search a Place to Save It — and Sync Over Cellular Too

    Mobile

    A place used to be something attached to a post — saving one shop for its own sake meant digging its address out of a map app and pasting it in. Now you search from the Places tab, pick a result, and it is saved. We also fixed sync being skipped whenever you were off Wi-Fi, which is why what you tidied up on the desktop was not there when you opened your phone out of the house.

    • Search for a place in the Places tab and save the one you pick. The same feature landed in the desktop app and the Obsidian plugin.
    • Fixed sync being skipped on cellular. Without ever turning on Wi-Fi-only sync, opening the app would not bring changes from your other devices, and pull-to-refresh did nothing.
    • Places shared from KakaoMap and Google Maps now archive, including short kko.to links.
    • A place saved on its own shows its archive on its own page — it used to list fine and then show nothing.
    • Feedback replies and half-written messages survive closing the sheet or the app being evicted.
    • Fixed one reconnect notice in Settings > Integrations hiding the other integrations entirely.
    • Fixed some shopping pages not being recognized as products.
    • A link you share now shows the quoted post along with it.
    • Fixed news articles keeping the photo captions but losing the photos. That fix is server-side, so it is already live without updating — re-archive an older article to pull its photos in.
  7. Facebook Sessions on Mobile, and Public Posts That Never Open the App

    Mobile

    The Facebook connection that landed on desktop first is now on mobile. Connect once and posts shared only with friends, or posted inside a group you joined, get archived too. And public Facebook and Instagram posts now finish from the share sheet alone — previously, having an account connected meant every post waited for you to open the app, public or not. Now only the posts that actually need your session do.

    • Connect Facebook in Settings to archive friends-only posts and posts in groups you joined.
    • Public Facebook and Instagram posts save straight from the share sheet. The app never opens.
    • Only posts that need your login hand off to the app to finish.
    • The short links the Facebook app’s own share sheet produces now archive as they are.
    • Posts saved from a group show which group they came from.
    • Your Facebook and Instagram logins never leave your device. Posts are read inside the app, and only the finished archive is sent.
    • Instagram stories are still Chrome-extension only. A story link no longer looks accepted and then fails — it tells you up front that it is not supported.
    • AI requests remember the provider you picked last.
    • Fixed Korean news articles saving the whole page instead of the article.
    • Fixed a share that succeeded on retry leaving two entries in the list.
  8. Mosaic View and a Quick Menu on Channel Circles

    Mobile

    Adds a mosaic view to the timeline, a long-press quick menu on channel circles, and a filter that separates vertical from horizontal video.

    • New mosaic view for the timeline.
    • Long press a channel circle to open the profile, subscribe, or link accounts. View all reaches every channel past the first 20.
    • Filter by vertical or horizontal video, across YouTube, TikTok, Reels and Facebook.
    • Hand long videos to your desktop app or Obsidian to download. The file is saved on that device.
    • Feedback drafts are kept when you close the form.
    • Quiet hours can be turned off for 24 hours.
    • Fixed notices not showing while a dialog was open.
  9. Save from Xiaohongshu, and Link a Creator’s Scattered Accounts

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.14 archives Xiaohongshu (RED) notes together with their top comments, and lets you link one creator’s accounts across platforms so they appear together on the author screen. An app icon badge now shows unread feedback replies and places awaiting review, and feedback replies accept image attachments.

    • Xiaohongshu (RED) notes are archived with their photos, text, and top comments.
    • Link the accounts one person uses across Instagram, YouTube, Threads, and more, so their posts appear together on the author screen.
    • The account picker now supports search and sorting, so the right account is easy to find even with a long list.
    • Transcripts gain a filter for items that finished transcribing, and a button that copies the whole transcript at once.
    • Feedback replies now accept image attachments, and failed uploads retry automatically.
    • The app icon badge shows unread feedback replies and places still waiting for your review.
    • When you archive a link you already saved, the notice is now tappable and takes you straight to the existing archive.
  10. New Threads Share Links Now Archive As-Is

    Mobile

    Fixed links copied from the Threads app being rejected after Threads changed its share link format. Links in the new format now archive as-is, including the author’s follow-up posts in the thread.

    • Pasting or sharing a threads.com/share/... link copied from the Threads app no longer fails with “Please enter a Threads post URL.”
    • Archives made from the new link format still include the author’s follow-up posts in the thread.
  11. Shopping Archives Arrive on Mobile

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.12 saves product pages shared from apps like Coupang, Amazon, and Ohouse as product cards with price, photos, and store info, gathered in a new Shopping view. It also adds an Untagged filter for archives without tags, improves place note review, and fixes several stability issues.

    • Product pages shared from Coupang, Amazon, Ohouse, Uniqlo, and more are saved as product cards with price, rating, store, and product photos.
    • A new Shopping view gathers saved products by store, and product cards also appear in the timeline.
    • A new Untagged filter in the timeline and search collects the archives you have not tagged yet.
    • Inline timeline actions now adapt to the available screen width.
    • Place notes suggested by AI place discovery can be reviewed from a banner, deleting only the ones you do not need.
    • Fixed tag search returning no results, and expired image links being saved to the photo library by mistake.
  12. Faster, Clearer AI Place Discovery

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.11 improves AI place discovery by analyzing the post, text in photos, and archived comments together. Multiple places are matched for review automatically, with more reliable place-type suggestions, source-context notes, bulk saving, and post-save synchronization.

    • Optionally include photo text (OCR) and archived comments when finding places.
    • Discovered places now search the selected map provider and stage the most likely first result automatically; remove a wrong match or search again inline.
    • AI suggests a place type, while useful recommendations, menu notes, and visit tips from the source can be saved with the selected place.
    • Search results and review choices are kept briefly so a reload does not discard unfinished work.
    • Large selections save in the background with progress feedback, then refresh Timeline and Places from the authoritative saved result.
  13. Filter Your Timeline Faster with Bubbles

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.10 adds optional experimental timeline bubble filters. It stabilizes platform and author filter transitions and list performance, while improving archived-place details and map navigation.

    • Enable timeline bubble filters under Experimental Settings to quickly narrow the feed to platforms or authors that actually have posts.
    • Order bubbles by recent activity or post count, with optional compact count badges.
    • Platforms use soft brand-color halos, authors use circular avatars, and All overlaps three platform icons or author avatars to match the selected mode.
    • Switching filters no longer briefly empties the feed or leaves it at an old scroll position, and FlashList is updated to 2.3.2.
    • Archived-place detail updates, the OCR toggle, and map navigation and back behavior are more reliable.
  14. Instagram Signed-In Archiving, in the App and Share Flow

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.9 connects an Instagram web session so posts available only while signed in can be archived from both the app and share flow. It also improves duplicate notices, comment and media capture, Immich subscription sync, translation, readability, and failure guidance.

    • Instagram sign-in completion is detected immediately in Settings, closing the login view and saving the connected session securely.
    • Instagram posts sent from the iOS or Android share flow use the same connected session as in-app archiving.
    • Comments and replies are captured while profile images from comment and like areas stay separate from post media.
    • Posts already in your archive are not duplicated, and one clear notice prevents the result from looking like a failure.
    • Expired sessions, network errors, rate limits, and capture failures now have clearer guidance and recovery.
    • Also improved Immich subscription recovery, translation targeting, long-form text sizing, and localized archive action menus.
  15. Places Tab: Rediscover Archives on a Map

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.8 adds a Places tab that maps archives with locations, plus AI-powered Find Places. Multi-place linking, Korean map search, subscription resume, and stability fixes round out the release.

    • A new Places tab maps archives that have a location — with clustering, distance sorting, and current-location tracking.
    • Find Places uses AI to pull place candidates from your posts, including text inside images — review and match them inline.
    • Attach multiple places to a single post and search existing places across more maps, including Naver Map and Kakao Map.
    • Start Find Places straight from the share screen.
    • Stalled subscriptions can be spotted and resumed, with steadier media refreshes and place data.
  16. AI Chat and Share Reliability Improvements

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.7 improves AI chat archives, background task status, share and queue reliability, Reels sharing, and OCR memory stability.

    • Archived AI chats now persist more reliably across clients, with a cleaner transcript layout.
    • Background task status is easier to see in the reader and share flow.
    • Shared drafts stop retrying when they no longer exist, and rate-limited archives stay in the activity queue so their status remains visible.
    • Reduced possible crashes while sharing Reels and during OCR on low-memory devices, and refined archived notice presentation.
  17. Threads Subscriptions, Reader, and Video Stability

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.6 adds mobile Threads author subscriptions and improves media/comment sync for Threads subscription results, reader scrolling, video carousel memory use, sign-in switching, transcription guidance, and iOS recording Live Activity reliability.

    • Added mobile Threads author subscriptions and improved media/comment sync for Threads subscription results.
    • Fixed an intermittent blank-looking reader screen while scrolling.
    • Reduced video carousel memory use by creating players only when playback starts, and invalidated stale queued requests after sign-in changes.
    • Clarified on-device transcription guidance and improved iOS recording Live Activity reliability.
  18. Sync Reliability, Media Stability, and Transcription Guidance

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.5 improves sync reliability by backing off when requests are rate-limited, while tightening Reels/video playback, Android share retries, the E-ink reader, iOS recording Live Activities, and on-device transcription guidance.

    • Improved sync reliability by backing off automatically when requests are rate-limited.
    • Reduced Reels/video memory use and fixed possible duplicate or lost submissions from Android share retries.
    • Improved E-ink reader text clipping and refresh flicker, iOS recording Live Activity recovery, and drawer banner layering.

  19. Feedback Visibility, Notification Taps, and Video Stability

    Mobile

    Mobile 2.0.4 improves Feedback visibility, notification tap routing from a killed app state, and video crash stability, while refining media note transcription choices and background recording reliability.

    • Improved the on-device vs. server transcription choice flow and background recording reliability for media notes.

    • Fixed a video-related crash on some devices and improved overall stability.
  20. iPhone Meeting Notes and Android Media Reliability
