Story photos on home and in articles now request a size that matches the screen, so the feed feels quicker without losing cover quality. The country banner no longer sits on the home feed; choose countries in Settings. Notifications still register after you allow alerts and can show the story photo. Shared links open in the app when installed. The home catalog stays visible while it refreshes.
