- The "ask for a song rec" button is now back onto the profile page
- Daily limit lowered to 3... sorry again for those who are affected

### 1.22 — 2022-09-20

Quick fix in this one!
- It's now set to default to NOT send the decibel to any of your followers. You have to manually select who you want to send the decibel to
- After you send the decibel, that outbound chat box is now hidden and you can easily find all your ongoing chats

We may or may not add more genres in the next one :)

HOT FIX :/ Apple Music search is now back to normal!

---------------------------------------------------

- We took out matching. Instead, you can now directly send your creations to all followers
