What's New in Vocative
2.48.1
June 23, 2026
- The letter composer now shows its sending and error state inline, and stays open if a send fails so you never l ose what you wrote. - Drafts are saved more reliably — your in-progress letter is preserved when the app moves to the background, wit h steadier autosave. - A single, consistent banner now tells you when a letter send goes wrong, instead of a redundant inline message. - Fixed an issue where your in-progress letter could lose its body if a new message arrived while you were writing. - Fixed an issue where the keyboard could lose focus while writing a letter, which made the composer hard to use. - Fixed cursor placement and scrolling in longer letters, so the cursor stays where you're typing. - Fixed an issue where a letter you were writing could appear blank after switching to another app and back. Your in-progress letter now stays intact, and your saved drafts keep their full text. - Decks are now ordered from lightest to heaviest, so you can ease in and go deeper at your own pace. - The "High Tension" deck has been renamed "Slow Burn." - Tightened several deck descriptions so they read cleanly on a single line. - Replying to a photo now presents the reply right over the open photo instead of waiting until it closes. - Fixed photo replies so they carry the correct subject and copy the full-resolution image. - Search and sort are back in the Labels tab, so you can quickly find a label and keep your tags organized. - Off the Record markers and failed-send indicators now stay aligned to the messages you're actually viewing. - Fixed an issue where editing a message could discard your changes if a new message came in while you were editing. - You now get a push notification the moment your partner joins your space, so you know right away when your connection is live. - Inviting a partner by QR code is more reliable — the invite code now scans cleanly in the app, with a fix to the in-app camera scanner. - Added a quick "skip to your space" button on the opening screen for a faster path in.
