2.3.1 Release Notes
Hi there!
We’re excited to share that update 2.3.1 is now available on the App Store, which contains multiple critical bug fixes to enhance and support your experience on the app. You can check out the full list below:
Photo Editing
We fixed a whole slew of bugs with the photo editor. It should be faster and more responsive than ever. 🚀 You’ll enjoy significantly improved saturation 🎨, brightness ☀️, contrast ✒️, and white balance 🤹 controls.
When you tap “Edit” on a photo, the editor will open before you’ve had time to blink, and then we’ll load in filters as you need them. In technical terms, we’re loading filters asynchronously now. Woo!
Edit sliders like brightness and saturation didn’t have their own space to properly shine alongside the other controls. We gave them their own boxes to show up in. They’re much happier now… and easier to see.
You’ll never know how you edited your photos without good haptic feedback! Photo editor animations are now much smoother and have improved haptic feedback. It really is the small things.
Sometimes when writing a caption, it would just — poof — disappear. We chased down those disappearing captions, and politely asked them to knock it off.
Post locations weren’t getting added to posts, even after you’d selected them. We pulled out a map, followed the trail to all those missing “X”s, and dug up the treasure. 🗺️ Locations should now get properly added to your posts.
And importantly, this update includes significant accessibility improvements (esp. for sliders and buttons). Customers who use Voice Over, Assistive Touch, and Rotor Control should now be able to edit photos easily and reliably. It’s important to us that we get this right, so any feedback is welcome.
Create Screen
The photo thumbnail button on the camera bottom bar was not properly sliding over to the Photos view. 🖼️ We taught it some new choreography, and it seems to be picking it up well. 👯
Added deep linking support for the camera and prose editor. If you know what this means, you can link directly to the camera or prose editor using nenosapp://create/mode=camera or nenosapp://create/mode=prose. If you don’t know what that means, this lays the groundwork for exciting new features we’ll be sharing over the next few updates (think: widgets and shortcuts).
Direct Messages
We fixed a crash that occurred for some creators when loading conversations where you were the only participant.
Opening or starting a conversation from someone’s profile sometimes failed to load the existing messages or send a new one. 😢 That’s fixed now.
Removed the “leave conversation” option for conversations with only two participants. If you need to leave a direct message with someone, you’ll need to block them. ✋
Authentication & Onboarding
Fixed an issue where creators with existing authentication credentials, but who have not setup a profile were prevented from signing up. 💥 In other words: if you at some point started to sign up, but didn’t finish doing so… you can now do so!
Sometimes, if you tried to sign out, it may have looked like you were still signed in (even if you really had signed out). That’s fixed now. We’ve also added much clearer alerts to let you know when sign out worked (or when it didn’t). 🚪
When creating a new profile, you may have missed getting prompted for notification permissions in some cases. Now you’ll see an additional screen during onboarding about setting up notifications. 🔔
