What's New in Kumo
1.0.3
September 29, 2026
A roomier Kumo: your photo or video now fills more of the screen. • See at a glance which faces are covered and which are visible. • Try Premium stickers on a face before you subscribe. • Small faces are easier to tap, and videos pause while you choose. • A clear confirmation after saving, and your new photo or video appears with your latest ones. • Privacy: exported videos no longer keep the original location data, and a video that can't be fully analyzed is now refused rather than risk an uncovered face. Thank you for using Kumo.
