What's New in Relay by TSS

1.26.7

July 30, 2026

game on. this update brings seven games to your chats, and to iMessage with a sticker pack drawn just for it. two-step verification arrives with a key only you know, and anchor, the new parent portal, gives parents real oversight, and never your messages. the apple watch app was redesigned, streak reminders show up when they should, captions and songs can be fixed after posting, plus birthdays get a little confetti. and relay is lighter on your iPhone than it's been all year. posted, not performed. - relay team

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback Maddie! We love to hear that you’re enjoying Relay, and we’ve got lots more coming in the future. Stay tuned for neat new innovations for Relay! - Relay Team

Great app

It’s a great app, as of the time of writing, it is still a bit buggy, but the devs helped to get that sorted out very quickly. They also update the app almost daily so far. And every day they are coming out with new fixes and features too. It’s also great because it’s a small, very intertwined community. Overall, there are a things on the app that are missing that would make it 1000 times better, but as of right now, it’s great.

FAQ

What makes Relay different from other social media apps?

Relay focuses on private sharing with a select group of friends, eliminating public likes, follower counts, and algorithms. It offers a unique film camera aesthetic and disappearing messages for a more intimate experience.

How does the film camera feature in Relay work?
