1.2.1
2023-05-23
a few upgrades + bug fixes:
1) profiles
- fixed instagram link
- tap outside the profile to close it
- single tap on presence indicator to open profile
- haptics on profile buttons
2) friends of friends access - invites / notifs now going out correctly
3) 'ping' option inside chats - this is now just a personal notif to your friend since they'll already have access with friends of friends permissions
4) duplicate room bug should be fixed!

2023-05-22
2 big updates in this release:
1) starting your livechat
we're continuing to experiment on this to figure out the best experience so thanks for playing along :)
- when you tap the '@me' button, your friends will be automatically notified that you're live (reverting to earlier version)
- when a friend joins your livechat, their friends will also be able to join, i.e. you can now meet friends of friends!
2) user profiles
we've added a simple version for you to have fun with :)
- open your own profile via the settings button on the home screen
- open other users' profiles by tapping on their presence indicator (inside a livechat or on the home screen)
- profiles include username, name, and optional social links and a status message
- edit your profile by tapping the 'edit' button on your own profile
... and, of course, a bunch of performance / back end improvements too
as always, let us know what you think!

What’s new (kind of a lot)
Home screen
• Livechat preview - you can now see who else is in a livechat from the home screen itself!
Going live
• Select who to invite to your livechat - you can now choose which of your friends to invite to your livechat (this means that pressing the “@me” button no longer automatically notifies all your friends)
• How to invite friends - tap the “@me” button on the home screen. Once the livechat opens, tap “invite.” Pick just a few friends or tap “invite all” to tell everyone you’re live (i.e. the default before!)
• Invite friends to someone else’s livechat :) - this is a big, fun new feature. You’ll now see ‘invite’ at the top of every livechat, not just your own. Tap to choose friends to invite — friends of friends … :)
Using chat
• @ mentions feature - tap the new @ button inside the message box and select the user you want to mention (only users in the livechat are listed)
• link support - now you can share hyperlinks and the URL itself will be displayed in green, just tap to open in browser
• autocorrect & autosuggestions - we added back this native functionality (by popular demand)
• lotsa little performance improvements for speed
Whew, that’s a lot — play around and let us know what you think!
