The switch is in More, next to the language. The chat box grows while you type a longer message, up to about six lines, then it scrolls. Return starts a new line. You still send with the button on the right. Chat settings have a new option, Living background. Turn it on and the sky behind the messages follows the time and season on this phone: dawn, day, dusk, and night, with flowers, leaves, or snow through the year. Two new reactions: laugh and clown. Chat history can be searched by nickname and by date. You can also choose how many messages to show on a page. The home title now includes Grodno, and a small line shows how many people are in chat right now. The separate Cabinet page is gone. Your profile, chat history, and a new announcement sit directly in More. A long press on a picture in chat opens the same menu as a long press on the message. Tap a quote in chat to jump to that message. Pictures in quotes are smaller. The log no longer jumps down while you read older messages. The chat reconnects more reliably when you come back to the app. News and nicknames are readable in the dark theme. Added recently used smiles section. UI fixes and improvements ### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-18 Chat is simpler: no extra “people in the room” screen — everyone is in the list at the top. Tap or swipe to open/close it (smooth animation). The ⋮ menu is on that list. Icons line up in columns, so names don’t jump. Camera icons in People/rating are gone (photos are in avatars). Quote keeps a private reply private. Kick/ban lines now show which moderator acted. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-17 Chat reactions. Registered users can react to public and private chat lines with thumbs up, thumbs down, heart, or poo. Long-press a message to open the action sheet (icons sit next to Quote). Tap the same reaction again to remove it, or pick another to switch. Counts and nicknames show on the line. Guests can see reactions but cannot add them. System lines and /me actions cannot be reacted to. Monthly rating. A Rating screen ranks registered users by public chat messages in the last 30 days. Top five get medals (gold / silver / bronze / wood). Medals also appear next to nicknames in the room list; tap a medal to open Rating. Available from People and from More. People and photos. Search results and the Rating list show a camera mark when someone has a profile photo, plus their actual avatar. Your photo also appears on the More screen. After you change or remove a photo, lists pick up the new image instead of keeping a stale one. Chat log. New messages no longer yank the list if you have scrolled away from the live end. Emoji. Chat messages can include emoji (needs the matching backend deploy). FAQ. New article: how reactions work on web and in the app. ### 1.0 — 2026-09-16 No release notes. ## Apps similar to OtherReality | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Bird Sounds!!!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bird-sounds/id1539941619) | 4.4 (20) | Free | Entertainment | | [24afisha.by](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/24afishaby/id6759794581) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Entertainment | | [200+ Sounds of Birds](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/200-plus-sounds-of-birds/id979045956) | 4.6 (616) | Free | Entertainment | | [Kappa FuturFestival](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kappa-futurfestival/id6502521161) | 4.9 (37) | Free | Entertainment | | [Mobile VR Station®](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mobile-vr-station/id959820493) | 4.1 (512) | Free | Entertainment | | [Police Lights, Siren, Strobe](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/police-lights-siren-strobe/id1540606213) | 4.1 (47) | Free | Entertainment | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
