## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-01-15

Chats tab (your chat list / matches)
Swipe actions added/improved: swipe a chat to Pin/Unpin, Mute/Unmute, or Delete it.
Clear status badges: pinned chats show a pin icon, muted chats show a Muted badge, and unread chats show an unread counter.
Better crew-invite handling in chat previews: crew invite messages show a clearer preview text, and dismissed invites don’t keep bothering you.
Chat screen (inside a conversation)
Smoother UI:
Send button now animates in/out instead of popping suddenly.
New messages pop-in subtly when they arrive.
A scroll-to-bottom button appears/disappears smoothly when you scroll up.
A typing indicator (3 bouncing dots) expands/collapses smoothly.
Reactions do a small pop animation when they change.
Fixed message “blinking” + duplicates: posting a message no longer flashes, and the same message won’t appear twice.
Keyboard/input bar fixed on iOS: the typing bar now stays correctly above the keyboard, with a cleaner gap.
Chat video sending upgraded:
You can preview a video before sending.
While uploading, you see upload progress instead of a confusing placeholder.
Crews
Invite/share improvements: when inviting people to a crew, users who are already members are shown as unavailable (greyed out / “Already in crew”) so you can’t re-invite them by accident.
Image viewing fixed: crew images can now be pinch‑to‑zoom properly in the fullscreen viewer.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-01-06

Image viewer crash fix
Fixed crash when opening images from an opened post (not directly from feed)
Images now open correctly from post detail view
Search bar in chats
Added search bar to filter matches in the chats screen
Optional bio in edit profile
Bio field is now optional; users can save profile changes without providing a bio
Bottom bar navigator position
Bottom bar now goes to the very bottom of the screen (no components visible below it)
Bottom bar navigator height
Slightly increased height so icons aren't positioned too low
Instant friend request removal
Friend requests are removed from inbox immediately when accepted from a user's profile (no refresh needed)
Double tap to like messages
Double-tapping a message in chat instantly likes it with a heart reaction
Profile picture position with reactions
Profile picture stays in the same position when messages have reactions (doesn't move down)
Image viewer in post detail
Fixed image scrolling behavior when opening images from inside a post (no overlap between images when swiping)
Delete account flow
Fixed to always navigate to login screen even if deletion fails
Handles "User not found" errors gracefully
Removed all alerts for smoother UX
Notification dismissal
All notifications for a chat are dismissed when you open that chat (not just the one clicked)
Message duplicate prevention
Fixed duplicate messages appearing when receiving multiple messages
Prevents duplicate React keys error

### 1.0.1 — 2026-01-04

Fixed an issue where someone you just accepted as a friend could still appear in the Swipe screen until restarting the app.

Fixed the profile action button so after accepting a Bro Request from someone’s profile it updates immediately to “Remove friend.”

Improved notification controls: if notifications are denied, settings now reflect that, and notifications only activate when enabled from the Notifications screen.

Improved logout behavior so you stop receiving push notifications after logging out.

### 1.0 — 2026-01-03

No release notes.
