What's New in Emote

1.0.2

September 7, 2026

Emote opens faster and stays with you a little more kindly. • Home is ready as soon as you come back — no long splash • Your last check-in is still there if you’re offline • Delete an emote if you change your mind • Six new moods: grateful, lonely, angry, meh, proud, and sleepy • See how many people responded, without the note getting squeezed • Threads, reactions, and a few taps (like People search) behave the way you’d expect

Great social media replacement

A great app to actually escape endless doom scrolling without losing connection with your friends and family

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! That balance — stepping away from doom scrolling while staying close to friends and family — is exactly what we’re going for. Appreciate you taking the time to leave this.
