## Luney Version 1.7.2 Release Notes ### New **iPad & iPhone Duo Layouts** * **Side-by-Side Views:** Chats, Groups, Notifications, and Settings now display lists and active views side-by-side on larger screens. (Toggle in Settings › Preferences). * **Persistent Chats & Previews:** iPhone Duo keeps active chats open when closed. See live post previews (formatting, media, polls) while typing on iPad or an opened Duo. * **Context Details:** Tap the info button in side-by-side chats/groups to view pinned messages, media, and members. * **Smart Navigation:** Duo tabs dynamically snap to the side to maximize space. Menus now appear as compact cards near taps instead of full-width sheets. * **Keyboard & Mouse:** Navigate using ⌘1–4 (tabs), ⌘F (search), and ⌘K (jump to chat). Right-click for long-press menus. **iPhone Duo "Tabletop" & "Book" Modes** * **Tabletop Mode:** Prop your half-open Duo on a table to view Reels, Events, or Voice Rooms on the top half, with controls/chat on the bottom. * **Albums:** Play an album as a photo frame on top, or hold the Duo like a book for a two-page "Photo Book" or Progress Compare layout. **Live Lobbies & Audio** * **Lock Screen Integration:** Minimized lobbies transition to the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen with quick controls. * **Background Listening:** A persistent in-app bar shows active speakers and controls, allowing background browsing. * **Smart Controls:** Listeners can raise hands and hosts can end lobbies directly from the Lock Screen. * **Host Handoffs:** Manually transfer hosting before leaving, or auto-handoff to the longest-tenured speaker if a host drops. * **Event Lobbies:** Start a Live Lobby directly from an event page 30 minutes before it begins. **Messaging, Media & Events** * **Drag, Drop & Files:** Drag media directly into chats on iPad/Duo. Upload photos and videos straight from the iOS Files app. * **Slideshows:** Play albums as screen-on slideshows. Shared albums automatically update live as friends add photos. * **Event Smarts:** Tap a location for Maps directions or a time for Calendar sync. Event times auto-convert to your local time zone. Auto-reminders trigger 1 hour before start times. ### Changed * **OS Requirement:** Luney now requires iOS 17 or later. * **Security & 2FA:** Accounts securely lock across devices until authenticated via 2FA. New alerts trigger for web/external logins, which can be remotely logged out in Active Sessions. * **Privacy:** Location data is now automatically stripped from video uploads. * **Safety:** Trigger Panic Mode manually without waiting for a countdown. "Close to Hide" (Duo) instantly disguises Luney as a calculator without triggering a Trusted Circle alert. * **Lobbies:** Rooms with only one person now auto-close after 15 minutes. * **Profiles:** User profiles display total friend counts and mutual connection visibility. ### Fixed * **Sign-in:** Apple Sign-in now automatically utilizes shared names/handles without manual entry. * **Messaging:** Resolved unexpected messaging errors, generic notification banners, and groups incorrectly showing as unread. * **UI/UX:** Fixed iPhone Duo empty space rendering, Live Lobby landscape layouts, and Tabletop reel playback boundaries. Lobbies now close reliably 5 minutes after everyone leaves or loses signal. * **Social:** Friend requests and Community Pulse statuses now update in real-time without requiring manual refreshes. ### Removed * "Redeem a code" has been removed from Settings; promo codes are no longer supported.
