New - Tap links in chats, with a preview card under the message. - Copy a message, or delete one of your own. Group admins can remove any message, and everyone sees who did. - Tap a photo in a chat or the feed to see it full size and save it. Tap a dad's profile photo to see it larger. - The Papaful icon shows how many messages and updates are waiting. Turn it off in Settings. Improved - You can edit a message for 5 minutes after sending it. Fixed - Starting a poll in a chat works again.

- Our weekly look-back messages now come from Papa Bot, the Papaful app's own voice in your cohort chat. - Email details on your cohort's next session now confirms right away that the email was sent. - Reflections open "after the session" instead of naming a day, so they fit however your cohort meets. - Clearer reminder wording in Settings.

New - Start a group chat: tap + in Messages, search your connections and pick two or more dads (up to 12). - Photos on group posts. - Group-only events: hosts can keep an event to one group. - Copy link on every event, to paste into a chat or text. Improved - Start a chat from a profile now opens the chat in one tap.

New - Coming soon groups: see the groups and stages on the way (Teens, Empty nest, Adoptive dads and more) and tap I'm interested. We'll add you the moment one opens. - Joining a cohort is easier: open your cohort link or enter your code when you sign up, and you land right in your cohort chat. - Add a screenshot when you send us feedback. Improved - A bolder Out Now card on Today for spontaneous meetups. - Your pinned cohort chat now reads clearly in dark mode.

New: take a quick selfie so your profile can show the verified badge, and dads can tell you're real. Photos on your profile now come straight from your camera. Improved: if your app is out of date, you'll see a clear note with a link to update. Fixed: smoother messages, events and search for dads who have not verified yet.

New: see every hang you've been to on your profile. Choose Apple or Google Calendar for your hangs, and how far "Near me" reaches on Events. Improved: group suggestions fit your family instead of every life stage. Easier to read with large text. Fixed: on iPhone, notifications arrive again. Event maps show the right place. On iPhone, sliders no longer show a double line.

New: join a hang and Papaful offers to put it straight on your calendar, and takes it back off if you give up your spot. Improved: sharing where you are now shows a rough area, never your exact spot. Setting up your profile is quicker, with five questions instead of eight. Hosting an event suggests places near you instead of San Francisco. Fixed: Get directions now opens Google Maps if you don't have Apple Maps.

Fresh new splash screens for a cleaner, more polished app experience.

Editing a session you host — change the time, fix the link, update the details — no longer means opening a laptop. Need to call one off? You can cancel a session you host, and we'll tell you how many dads had registered before you do. Weekly sessions with a rotating host roster let you pick who's leading this week. Host your own online events, right from your phone. Set the time, add your video link, and cap the number of seats if you want to keep it small. Also fixed: weekly recurring sessions used to disappear after their first date, and the Online tab sometimes sat spinning instead of loading.
