## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-21

What's New in 1.2.2

  New & improved
  - Edit in place — tap to edit your notes and highlights directly
  on a book's page, no separate screen.
  - Profile editing — update your username, display name, bio, and
  avatar inline.
  - Smarter social — a new Recommended section, swipe through
  friends, clearer add/accept friend buttons, and empty shelves are
  now hidden to keep profiles tidy.
  - Faster launches — your library now loads instantly from cache
  while fresh data syncs in the background.
  - Smoother navigation — the tab bar stays put as you move between
  screens, and tapping outside a sheet now closes it.

  Fixes & polish
  - Reworked the tag picker for a cleaner, more reliable tagging
  experience.
  - Aligned the library sort options and tightened spacing
  throughout.
  - Refined book-card animations and applied a batch of UX polish
  from an external design review.
  - Resolved a library load-error state and various smaller bugs.

  Notices
  - Download your data — you can now export all of your BookThread
  data from your Profile (GDPR Article 20).
  - Account deletion hardened — deleting your account now reliably
  removes your data across all services.
  - Privacy — added an iOS Privacy Manifest declaring
  required-reason API usage, and a clearer disclosure on the
  Goodreads import screen.
