- Dull now catches more Instagram ads, including ones labeled just “Ad”, and keeps them out of your feed. - Open your saved reels on Instagram, and add saved posts to your collections. - With suggested posts hidden, Instagram opens on Following, and the feed no longer jumps around. - With suggested posts hidden, your Instagram notifications and Follow Back buttons show again. - Instagram's account switcher now lists your other profiles, so you can switch between them. - Typing in Japanese or Chinese now works in Instagram's message search. - When you're signed out of Reddit, its home page offers a log-in instead of going blank, and the “get the app” wall closes on its own. - School and work Google accounts can now sign in to YouTube inside Dull. - Redirect switches back on at the right time, even when Dull isn't open. - Redirect now shows you how to lock it in: someone you trust sets a Screen Time passcode you don't know (iOS 26.4 and later). - On a trial or subscription, you can now switch to lifetime in Settings. - If an activation link fails, you can always enter your setup code instead. - The usage page now fits on smaller iPhones. - Your trial reminder arrives 2 days before billing, even if you turn notifications on later.

- Instagram ads and "suggested for you" posts are caught again, search stays available while suggested content is hidden, and turning a filter on gives the same result every time. - Friends-only mode on Instagram: post to your story without leaving Dull. - YouTube no longer bounces you between Dull and the YouTube app. Links to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X and Reddit now open inside Dull. - YouTube ads that slip through now end instead of playing silently. - On iOS 26, turning on Redirect no longer blocks the site inside Dull. - Fixed Korean typing in Instagram message search. - Updated filters for YouTube, Facebook, X and Reddit.

- New: activate with a setup code. Bought Dull Pro for someone else's iPhone (or on the web)? There's now a six-character code — tap "have a setup code?" on the first screen and type it in. No links, no email forwarding. - If Restore finds no purchase, the paywall now offers setup-code entry too. - Small fixes and clearer wording throughout.

- Redirect now works with exact apps. You pick the individual apps, and a review screen shows exactly what will redirect before anything turns on. Selecting a whole category (like "Social") used to catch unrelated apps, including ones installed later — that can't happen anymore. - If you had a category selected, Dull cleared it. Open Redirect and pick the exact apps you want. - Fixed: Posting Mode could leave apps unlocked after its window expired. It now re-locks on time. - Dull now follows your iPhone's text size. Turn text up in iOS Settings and the whole app scales with it. - Plainer wording across setup, settings and the blocking screens.

- New: share to Dull. Send a link to "Dull" from any app's share sheet and it opens in the filtered browser, even if a browser is already open. - Instagram: Explore entry points are now blocked when the Explore filter is on. The bare Explore page no longer slips through. - Fixed: "edit blocked apps" refused changes while notifications were off. Editing your blocked list no longer needs notification permission. - Fixed: unticking every app in the blocked-apps picker silently did nothing. It now offers to turn Redirect off. - New: a heads-up when your selection includes whole categories, since a category blocks every app inside it, including ones you install later. - Fixed: editing blocked apps right after launch could fail with "screen time access wasn't granted" even though it was. - Polish: settings search now finds Redirect when you type "blocked" or "unblock", and error messages say what actually went wrong.

— Fixed: users who'd already activated a subscription before completing onboarding were shown the paywall. Now skipped automatically. — New: web buyers get a shorter onboarding — language, intro, then straight to setup (platforms, features to enable). No persuasion screens you've already been through. — Fixed: Restore now shows a clear explanation when no in-app purchase is found, rather than failing silently. — Polish: shorter, plainer copy across the commitment setup and settings screens. — Fixed: onboarding could show a blank screen on iPad. — Fixed (iOS 26): shield bounce sometimes landed on iOS's "Restricted" page inside Dull. Dull now waits for the block to clear before opening the platform. — Fixed: Redirect could stay stuck on "paused" after re-enabling Screen Time access in iOS Settings. — Fixed: shield bounce notification now opens the right platform even when the app name contains a space. — New: brief in-app explainer before iOS asks about ad attribution.

— Fixed: onboarding could show a blank screen on iPad. Setup now completes correctly, and notifications stay fully optional throughout. — Fixed (critical): tapping the shield bounce from a blocked native app sometimes landed on iOS's "Restricted" page inside Dull instead of the filtered platform (iOS 26). Apple's in-app web filter was holding the block a few hundred ms longer than the redirect's clear. Dull now waits for the system to release before opening the platform, with automatic retry as a backstop. — Fixed: Redirect could get stuck on "paused" even after re-enabling Screen Time access in iOS Settings. iOS doesn't tell apps when that toggle flips back on, so Dull now asks iOS directly on every foreground. — Fixed: tapping the shield bounce notification now lands you on the right platform inside Dull again, even when the shielded app's name contains a space (Instagram Lite, etc). — Fixed: rare case where Hard Block could shield the in-app Instagram/YouTube feed itself if you'd selected the matching web domain from the picker. Redirect now never touches your in-app browsing — only the native apps. — New: in-app explainer before iOS asks about ad attribution, so you know what the system dialog is for and that it's separate from the Screen Time access prompt. — Clearer copy across all Redirect surfaces — the app now says "screen time access" everywhere, matching what iOS Settings labels it.

— Hard Block: lock the native Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X apps at the OS level using Family Controls. Selection survives reinstalls. — Posting Mode: when you actually need to post, hold to confirm and unlock one app for 10 minutes — then it shields back up. Daily quota you set. — Full German and Spanish localization for everything Hard Block and Posting Mode related. — Shield handoff cleaned up: clearer subtitle, "Send me to Dull" button, and a how-it-works guide in Settings with troubleshooting steps if iOS swallows the notification. — Onboarding reshuffle for a cleaner first-run. — Home hub: "+" icon in the top bar opens Posting Mode. One-time coach marks point out the settings gear and the +. — Weekly receipt card on the home hub is now dismissable and auto-clears after 3 days. — Fixed the in-app browser rendering wider than the screen on Instagram (the issue 1.7.4 tried but missed). — Fixed: tapping the Hard Block shield notification now opens the right platform inside Dull. Used to land you on the home hub instead. — Fixed: home hub coach mark title no longer gets clipped on iPhone. — Settings: one-tap toggle next to Hard Block — no need to open the detail screen to enable or disable.

— New: Session Timer. Pick how long you want before opening a platform. When time's up, dull closes the visit and walks you back through the open-flow. Optional, per-platform, off by default. — First time you open Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or X, a short walkthrough now explains what's filtered out, what stays, and how to sign in or delete the account natively. Replay from Settings. — Once a day, the home screen plays a small moment: your day count flips up with a brief observation, then quietly marks today on a calendar grid. Auto-dismisses, tap to skip. — The day card is a smaller chip. Tap to open your history. — Settings has a "see today's moment" option to replay it without waiting. — New on YouTube: optional Subscriptions lockdown filter that strips the top bar and recommended-channel rails. — Tightened onboarding screens. Fixed unreadable footer text in dark mode. — Reliability fixes for filters that occasionally needed a reload to apply.
