Events Post a party that is happening right now. Hosts are on the guest list the moment they post. Past events stay on your feed and on your Events page, with a Past section under Hosting. Memories Add photos to an event from the event page or the album with the same add sheet you use on your profile, and the album takes you back to the event instead of opening it again. Houses Type a house code at signup or in Settings to join a house, or to become one of its admins. House settings show every admin, can mark a member as a pledge, and let you open any member's profile. Notifications Event notifications show the event's photo, high ratings show the photo, and a mutual crush shows the heart. A new ask for notification permission shows you what a notification looks like before you decide. Sharing Every share link opens the event in the app. Guest passes can be redeemed in the browser, and guests who joined from the link count on the guest list. Plus fixes to the chat composer, event cards, settings icons and copy across the app.

Crushes got a real home. Your crushes page now opens with a shareable story card — "Who has a crush on you?" — and shows how many people have picked you and how many left a sealed note, without ever naming them. Notes stay sealed until it's mutual, and picks stay anonymous: no auto-follows, no "I joined from your invite" DM, and the anonymous ping now lands on a random 1–6 hour delay so its timing can't give anyone away. The takes tutorial is half as long and ends where it should — on your Friends feed with the challenge button lit. Starting a group message now lets you search your existing groups and add everyone at once. Plus a faster, cleaner profile, and a swipe from the right edge to open settings.

Crushes Secretly pick up to three people a week. Nobody is told — unless they pick you back. If you both pick each other, you'll both hear about it and can start a chat. Changed your mind? You can take a pick back any time. Challenge your friends Leave a friend a take: choose a line from the library or write your own. They get a card with your name on it and answer with a take of their own. Friends A new Friends feed on Takes — posts from the people you follow who follow you back. Sharing that looks good Turn your photo into a story card with a QR code and post it to Instagram or Snapchat. Send any take, post, or profile straight to a friend inside Aora. Aora links now open the app instead of the browser. Messages Group chats up to 50 people, with controls to add, remove, and hand off who runs them. Conversations stick around even after the post that started them is gone. Reply directly to a reply in comments. Profile Drag to rearrange your photo grid. See who you both follow on someone's profile. Your own scores appear once enough people have rated you. Ratings stay anonymous No score ever reveals who rated you. Getting started is faster No photos required to sign up, a clearer intro, and a quicker launch. Plus dozens of smaller fixes to speed, layout, and copy.

Now you're introduced to someone the moment you join, so there's always a conversation waiting. Followers, Following, and Inner Circle are combined into one swipeable page, response galleries surface the most-loved posts first, and rating is smoother with a new skip option. Plus a faster app, cleaner Activity and messages, and lots of polish and bug fixes.

Meet Secrets. Send a photo or video that arrives locked — it only opens once the other person sends one back, and then it's view-once and gone. Screen recording is blocked, and if anyone screenshots a Secret, the whole chat gets told. You can now add text right onto your photos before you send, give shots a new look with camera filters — including a warm vintage "Lapse" and a cool "Midnight" — and long-press any message to copy it. Behind the scenes, uploads are faster and far more reliable on spotty networks, the app feels snappier, and we fixed a pile of bugs along the way. Invite your friends from Settings and jump in.

What's New Meet Secrets — a whole new way to share. Send any photo or video as a Secret and it arrives blurred, waiting to be unlocked. Your friend just sends a photo or video back to reveal it. Secrets open for one 15-second look, then they're gone. Try to screenshot? It comes back blacked out, and everyone in the thread knows. Look for the pulsing key to send your first one. We also cleaned things up: Insights is simpler — see your overall score and your best content at a glance Long-press any message to copy it Invite friends right from Settings A smoother launch, with no more white flash on open Thanks for using the app — more good stuff on the way.
