What's New in Gazetz
1.0.30
August 8, 2026
Private papers, real privacy — plus sign in with X. • Sign in with X: create your Gazetz account or sign in with one tap • Private papers are now truly private: invite-only papers no longer appear in the directory, and only members the publisher adds can read them • Reader codes: a private paper can share one simple code — perfect for a school newsletter — and anyone who enters it becomes a reader instantly, no per-person approval • Posts in private papers now stay inside the paper, out of the public feed • The share button now opens the full share sheet, so you can send a paper, magazine, or story straight to a friend instead of only posting to X • Smoother sign-up and account verification, and more reliable notifications • Fixes throughout, including a back button that was nearly invisible in Reader View
