• Easier navigation: a refreshed tab bar and a clearer layout. Your profile and settings are easy to find. • Light theme: the new look now carries across the whole app, including sections you have muted. • World: every page now shows the last 24 hours, so what you see is always current. • Feed: tap a section header to open that section's full story list. • Setup: the Next button has moved to the top right, so it's easier to reach. • Backup and Saved: clearer rows and settings that follow one consistent rule. • Notifications: turning them on, including after returning from Settings, now works reliably. • Other fixes: suggestions for topics that no longer exist are cleaned up, and a number of small performance and stability improvements.

Starter is now free Chat and every AI tool now work on the free Starter plan, with no trial and no locked screens. Ask Mera "what plan am I on?" and it gives you a straight answer. Share and export • Share your reading stats as a card, from Sources or the Dashboard's History. • Export your saved articles as Markdown or JSON with a new three-step export flow. • Subscribe to a publisher directly from your Sources lists or a publication's history. A smarter Mera chat • Web search is on by default across every AI surface, and you can see a running search in the chat. • When Mera suggests saving something about you, it shows the fact first so you can confirm it, keep both, replace the old one or remove it. You can save several facts at once with "Save all". • Places are resolved more precisely, including where you're from and where you live now, if you've moved abroad. • A clearer waiting indicator shows what Mera is doing while it works, and replies start sooner. • On-device AI has new, faster models and shows a speed readout. Model downloads can be cancelled without an error. Feed and Dashboard • New animated Mera mark and status panel that show when your feed is being prepared. • The feed no longer reshuffles while you're reading when you change a preference. • A single notification bell in every tab. Notifications now stack as a deck with an easy Undo. • Swipe between Dashboard and Explore tabs more smoothly. Empty sections are hidden. • Related coverage loads 10 articles at a time, and articles from stories you follow stay on your device. • Google Translate now appears above the original text in article detail. • Cards open only when you tap them, not when you let go of a sideways swipe. Accounts • Users who signed up with email can now sign in without it. • Switching accounts now fully clears the previous account's data. • Backup restore has moved to Settings. • App updates now install silently, with no pop-ups. Accessibility • A large VoiceOver pass: every button has a clear label and a 44pt touch target, and decorative icons are no longer read aloud. Fixes • Fixed a black screen on launch and a restart that could interrupt chats, purchases or model downloads. • Fixed a PIN issue that could ask some users to sign in again. • Many smaller layout, translation and stability fixes.
