2.0
June 2, 2026
A lot has happened since version 2.0 – this update brings all of it together: Noticeably faster • The home screen, scrolling, search, and refreshing your feeds are all much smoother – especially with many subscriptions and long articles. • The unread counter now updates virtually instantly. • Full-text search scans large numbers of articles faster and more reliably. More languages & better accessibility • Wave is now fully available in German, English, Spanish, and French – from the FAQ to error messages to onboarding. • VoiceOver hints in the filter and tab bars are now localized, for smoother eyes-free use. Cleaner reading • Article cards now reliably show the real lead image instead of an accidental promo or notice banner. Recurring placeholder graphics are detected and filtered out automatically. • The article headline now sits clearly below the cover image instead of on top of it – even over bright or busy photos. More dependable day to day • More accurate unread counts when deleting and resetting articles. • Clean plural forms in import notices, plus many under-the-hood improvements for a more reliable experience. Crafted with care, as always. Got feedback? We'd love to hear it.
