- Inside an event, you can now save any photo or video to your own Photos library, in full quality. Look for "Save to device" in the post menu. - Posting feels calmer: caption first, then one simple "To" section for where your photo goes. The edit menu got the same treatment, and comment and caption boxes now grow as you type.

• Videos now survive a bad connection. Lock your phone, close the app, or lose signal: your upload is kept and finishes on its own, picking up where it left off instead of starting over. • Videos post fast and arrive in full quality. A light preview goes live right away, and the untouched original quietly replaces it in the background. • You can see real upload progress: a live percentage, "No connection" when you're offline, and "Tap to retry" only when something's genuinely stuck. • One tap now plays a video, with sound.

- Start a DM with anyone in your circles, even if they've never posted a photo. - Various improvements, such as better rotation handling

- Post offline, and it ships itself. Tap Post on a train, on a plane, or with one bar of signal: the photo lands in your feed straight away with a small cloud icon, and Acini finishes the upload the moment your phone catches signal again. No more tapping Retry. - Open Acini with no signal, even in airplane mode, and your last-known feed is right there, instead of a blank screen while the app waits for the network. - Videos play sound again with your silent switch on, the way the music app or YouTube would, regardless of the ringer. - Friend requests are easier to spot. You get a push when someone wants to be friends, and the request sits at the top of the Friends page instead of buried below your list. The dot on the Friends menu clears the moment you accept or dismiss. - Better caching of the Updates photo preview - Warmer, Cooler and Vivid are about a third less intense now; a gentle correction rather than a stylised preset. - Invite codes you share now stay valid for a full year instead of a week. Old codes, including ones that had already expired, were extended too, so previous invite messages still work. - Bugfix in notification badge count

- Photo looks. After taking a photo, pick a quick look before posting: Warmer, Cooler, or Vivid. Subtle tweaks, no fake-film effects. And can change the look on any of your own posts at any time. - Event covers, redesigned. Events with a cover sit in a wider, more cinematic frame. - Sharing from other apps is more reliable. Long videos from Photos now post consistently and with better feedback. We also added upload progress inside the app. - Silent camera shutter (where local laws permit). - Smaller fixes: removing someone from an event lets you keep or delete their photos, consistent event date formatting, consistent use of username across the app, and an unread-dot glitch on circle tabs.

- A faster, simpler camera: quicker to open, easier to use, and a cleaner flow from shot to caption - A short welcome that walks new users through their first photo - Brighter + button in the feed

Events - New Events section for shared circles like weddings, vacations, and reunions. - Create an event with a title, optional dates, and a toggle for whether attendees can reshare photos. - Active events appear as chips above your circles when posting. - Share a batch of photos straight from Photos into an event. - Reshare any event photo to your own circles with a clear attribution line. - Tap Slideshow inside an event to play the photos full-screen, oldest first. Invites - Event invite links now show a proper preview on WhatsApp and iMessage with the cover, name, and who invited you. - Tapping an invite link while signed in opens a soft sheet with one-tap Join. - The sign-up screen now shows the event you're joining before asking for your details. - Install Acini after receiving a link and the invite code is recovered from your clipboard on first launch. Polish - New app icon: the cream grape mark on a warm ink background.

- Tap any username or avatar to see their profile: send friend requests, assign to circles, or block, right from the feed - @mentions in comments: type @ to mention someone and they'll get a notification - Threaded replies: tap Reply on any comment to start a conversation - Post owners can see who liked their photo in the post menu - Export all your data from Profile: download link arrives by email - Photos are now encrypted at rest - Various bug fixes and small improvements

Threaded replies: tap Reply on any comment to start a conversation @mentions in comments: type @ to tag someone in your circle, they'll get a notification Tap any comment or mention notification in Updates to jump straight to the post Dedicated post page: tap the comment icon to see the full photo with all threaded comments Unread dots on circle tabs when someone posts something new DM reply photos now show on the correct side of the conversation

- Updates screen: New screen in the menu showing who liked, commented, or posted. Each update shows a thumbnail of the photo so you know what it's about. - Better crop control: Adjust how portrait photos are cropped in the feed. Drag to position instead of fiddling with a slider. - Account recovery: Lost your passkey or got a new phone? Tap "Having trouble signing in?" to get a magic link via email and set up a new passkey. - Smarter notifications: Push notifications now always show the real message, even if you haven't opened the app in a while. - Small things: Tapping the empty feed hint opens the photo picker directly. Clearer passkey setup instructions when joining.

Swipe between circles: flick left or right to move through your circles without opening the menu. Reliable notifications: push notifications now arrive even when the app is closed. Share extension: send photos and videos to Acini directly from Photos, Safari, or any app. Settings menu: notifications and new options (like auto-saving camera photos to your camera roll) are now under Settings. Dynamic Type: text sizes follow your system font size preference. Pull-to-refresh: works everywhere now. Plus: tap the circle name to scroll to top, better scroll position memory, and various bug fixes.

Improved reliability and security.
