    1. Yes! We aren’t happy with the current state of our media viewer. 2.0 is a backend-focused rewrite, so probably won’t have a new media viewer on launch, but it’s without a doubt high on our list of important features.
    2. Hard to say. Our iOS compatibility policy guarantees compatibility until iOS18 reaches 75% market share; after that, I can’t make any promises. We take the decision to drop compatibility very seriously, and try to only do so when the features offered by the newer iOS are valuable enough that we would be compromising the potential quality of the app by ignoring them.
    3. Yes. We’re still working out some UX concerns stemming from the fact that it’s very slow to search posts and comments compared to communities, but it’s in the plans.



















  • There are both technical and design reasons for the change.

    Technically, it lets us rip out a lot of logic that handled the differences involved in loading and displaying your own profile vs someone else’s; from a design perspective, this makes your profile page a much more logical grouping: “content you created” instead of “content you created and also content you saved.” Feeds is already the root category for “content other users created,” with each item (All/Local/Subscribed/Community) displaying a filtered subset of that content, a grouping into which Saved fits much more naturally.
