What's New in Blurt

5.2

September 26, 2026

Blurt has been completely modernized for the iPhone, iPad and now iPhone Duo! This update brings a fresh new design, improved message playback across all orientations, and now supports Siri AI. The same simple idea that has always made Blurt useful is still at its heart: say it so they can see it. To use Siri AI, simply say "Blurt something", "Show a Blurt", or "Start a Blurt". Siri AI will ask you what you want to display on Blurt and then start scrolling that message full screen. Tap the playing message and then tap the "Save" icon if you want to save it to your main message list. To open Blurt, type a new message and select different display options, tell Siri AI "New Blurt", "Create a Blurt", or "Make a new Blurt". Note: Messages are stored on each device. Your iPhone and iPad each keep their own set — creating a message on one won't make it appear on the other. Syncing across devices may come in a future update.

Look no further!

I’ve had Blurt installed since 2013 and, while I don’t use it every day, it is best-in-class when I need it. I use it to communicate silently across a room or for my ride-share driver in a crowded pickup spot to let them know it’s me.

Advantages over other scrolling-text apps?
1. Legible font options.
2. Portrait scrolling as well as landscape.
3. Quick access to saved messages.
4. Other useful message customizations.

With iOS 26, the app no longer recognized the phone’s orientation correctly. After failing to find a suitable replacement, I reached out to the developer. I heard back in just a few hours and the app was updated in about a week and works great!

Blurt Lives On!

I just discovered Blurt was recently updated. Still works like a charm! I used it just this morning to display a big happy birthday message with big, beautiful emoji (love that feature), waiting for my partner when she entered the kitchen. So many fun and useful uses!
