Interpals: Penpals & Languages

New - Discover people on the home screen: a strip of profiles to browse, with filters for country, sex and who is online. Tap the heading to open full search. - Phone verification now offers a second provider when the code cannot be sent, so it works in countries that used to refuse it. - Redesigned sex selection on sign-up and profile edit, as a segmented control with clear option rows. It follows your text size and works with screen readers. - The typing indicator in chat now travels over the live connection, so it appears sooner and uses less data. - A faster app: quicker startup, a lighter alerts list, faster translations, and date dividers that no longer slow long conversations. Fixed - Sign-up keeps the answers you give after the location step when you leave the app and return. - The phone step continues when a code is refused and verification is waived, and the resend wait stays at 60 seconds when you return to the step. - Sign-in with Apple completes, and a sign-in link with no session to bind is discarded instead of failing. - The login screen keeps its keyboard and its bottom spacing correct. - Profile editing: interest text is replaced without an extra keyboard tap, interest edits scroll above the keyboard, and the school field stops at the length the server keeps. - Search filters keep unsaved edits, and discarding them works every time. - Leaving profile edit to recover your profile now stays inside the app. - A profile's friends list now fills in on your first visit, instead of staying empty until you pull to refresh. - The trip date picker opens and closes on the arrival date. - Albums keep your uploads in view while they finish, pending photos are left out of the photo totals, and paging through an album follows your scroll. - Notification settings match your account, your choices survive a restart, and a notification tap opens the right screen. A comment notification opens its post. - A message that failed to send shows a themed retry row with a proper touch target. - Returning to a screen reloads it only when something it shows has changed. - Clearer messages when a request fails with no details.
