What's New in Told

3.0.3

October 19, 2026

Told 3.0.3 helps you stay in the loop. • Turn on notifications to know when someone shares with you. • Tapping a notification now takes you straight to the Entry, comment, or Bit it's about. • Privacy & Backup: your privacy and recovery settings now live on one page. It shows how your memories are protected and what to do if you lose your phone. • Faster syncing. A post that can't send no longer holds up the posts after it, and you can retry or discard it. • A new launch animation. • The tab bar comes back as soon as you scroll up. • A new "What's new" card on Home tells you what changed in each update. • Fixed the audience notice briefly showing "Last known audience."

Best Journaling App Ever

Things I love about it.
-I feel like since you get to pick your audience, I can actually catch up journal and do multiple posts in a row.
-I love that I can link entries to one or two of my kid’s journals or all of them. So I can post and journal all at once.
-With family living in another state, seeing the day to day journaling posts makes me feel more close to them.
-It is so easy to make a posts no trying to hunt down the kid’s physical journal to write down the cute thing the kid said.
-I love that my sisters or friends can add pictures too if there were the one to snap the photo at the outing, and can add it to my kids journal too.

Exactly what I needed

This app made sharing the right photos with the right people easier than it’s ever been!

Journaling is actually fun!

So easy to upload and do as long or short of an entry as I want! Love the layout too!

Awesome

Love the ability to see all the grandkids.

The solution to extended family group chats

Everyone has those big family or friends group chats where you only care about half of the things on it. Told solved that problem as you can set up journals for different topics and you can post and comment on each others stuff with just the people you care about. It also has a great UI so you can visually see everything that you’ve posted. It’s the only social media I want to post on.
