Replies now sit directly under the comment they answer, so a thread reads like a conversation instead of one flat list — and a reply no longer goes missing when the comment it answered was deleted, or its author blocked. Also in this version: when your radius opens all the way up in a sparse area, Explore no longer calls the list “nearby” — it says plainly what it is showing. And where the agreement is not translated into your language, the screen that shows it now names the language it fell back to, instead of printing a placeholder.

Storefronts can now open without installing Gerany. A link someone shares, or a code in a shop window, can open just that storefront as an App Clip — its hours, products and phone number, live, with call, website and directions a tap away and no account anywhere in it. Nothing is left on the phone when you walk away. If you want the rest of the app, the clip offers it once, after you've had a look around — and the card a storefront link brings up now speaks fifteen languages. For the people who run a shop: your storefront gains an App Clip kit — the codes registered for it, the print rules they have to meet, and a flyer to hand out — and Insights now counts the opens that came through the clip, the one door nothing else could see. Retire a code and the kit tells you why it stopped working. Smaller, but you'll see them: the Help chapters draw their icons instead of wearing emoji, and five icons that used to draw nothing now draw.

Run your storefront right in the app — opening hours, bookings, a shop, memberships and passes, orders and your team, with insights into how far you reach. New in this version: neighbours can follow a storefront and get its posts, memberships now state plainly that they cover in-person services and grant no digital privileges, and the Wallet can save a payment method through Stripe (Gerany never sees or stores your card details). Reporting also now lets you choose Report only or Report and block.

Run your own storefront right in the app — opening hours, bookings, a shop, memberships and passes, orders and your team, all with insights into how far you reach. Add cover photos to your experiences, find your tickets and purchases in one Wallet, and reach Support without leaving Gerany.

Replies now thread. Replying to a comment puts your reply directly under the comment you answered — and the reply box opens there too, with a clear “Replying to …” label. A cleaner, more consistent design across the app, and the reply UI is now translated into every supported language.

Privacy controls are here — and they're free for everyone. • Choose who can message you, call you, add you to a circle, or see your profile and find you in search. • Your connections and your circles are now private by default. • Control read receipts, typing indicators, and who can see when you were last active. • Screen-capture protection blocks screenshots and screen recording in calls and protected chats — and warns you when a screenshot is taken on iPhone. • Businesses now see only your @username, never your phone number, and you can block a business just like a neighbor. • A cleaner privacy settings screen. The old "ghost mode" is gone: turn off "Appear in search" and set "Who can see when I was last active" to No one for the same effect.

Providers can now get paid through Gerany. If you offer a service, set up your payout wallet at gerany.com/payouts — you receive exactly the price you ask for. Buyers see one final price, fee included, with no surprises. Help now walks through what each country requires before onboarding. Plus the usual fixes and polish.

Video calls got sturdier. Tap it to enlarge yourself full-screen, tap again to shrink it back, and drag it to any corner. And a call now tries to reconnect itself, with a "Reconnecting…" note, when your connection blips instead of dropping.

Chat receipts: your own messages now show sent, delivered and read ticks in one-to-one chats. Attachments are fixed. Photos, voice notes, documents and video notes open reliably again. Smaller fixes and polish throughout.

Gerany now speaks 27 languages — the whole app, including help and the agreement, in your language, with full right-to-left support. Messages is now Connect. Your conversations are unchanged; the tab and every mention now read Connect. Gerany+ is now one plan: Pro at $19.99/month. The Student and Starter tiers are retired. Verification now runs on your own device. Your selfie is analyzed on your iPhone and the photos never leave it — we receive only the result, signed by your device. ID verification is gone. We no longer ask for, collect, or store identity documents of any kind, and the documents we did hold have been deleted. Changing your profile photo now updates it on your existing posts, not just your profile.
