A new first launch and more stories every day. Your first look at Naia now comes alive: signals from the sources flow as a fountain of light into a single point. Press and hold the Read button to draw the fountain back, then let go and it fires a beam into today's issue. The move to the news is now smoother. On iPhone with iOS 26 the Read button is now made of real Liquid Glass. Want to see the introduction again? Settings now has a Show onboarding button. Each issue now carries 20 stories instead of 16, drawn from a wider range of outlets. New sources include Kyiv Independent, Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, Radio Svoboda, Al Jazeera, Foreign Policy, 404 Media, AIN.UA, Khmarochos, designboom, Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper and Literary Hub. A single outlet now appears less often several days in a row.

Deeper sides of the story. A side's card now explains who wins and who loses and why, where a statement came from and whom it serves. To find out, Naia looks beyond the article itself. The outlet a story comes from no longer appears among its sides. You can now page between sides: markers for every side sit at the bottom of the card, and you switch with a swipe or the arrows. If a card opens below the fold, it scrolls itself into view. The app is now fully in Ukrainian, including system dialogs such as the notification time picker and the share menu. UI/UX stories now come at the end of the issue.

Who is behind the news. A story's sides — the people and organisations it is about — are now marked right in its text. Tap the marker next to a name to see their part in the story and what they stand to gain or lose. Those the story touches without naming them get their own line. Below "Why it matters" you'll now find primary sources: statements, posts and documents from the people involved — where the story actually began. Also: filter your feed by mood. Press and hold the emoji and pick calm only, without the heaviest, or everything — it applies both in the grid and in cards. In light mode the controls below a card are no longer dark blotches.

Light appearance polish. The welcome screen now stays dark even in light mode: its animation is made of light, and light shows best against a dark background. The daily notification time in Settings is easy to read again, and the emoji circle on a news card no longer blends into the card.

Light appearance. Naia now follows your system setting: switch your iPhone to light mode and the app turns light too — cards, settings, the support and privacy pages. It changes straight away, no restart needed. The colours are tuned separately for a light background, so source names, links and buttons stay just as legible as they are in the dark theme.

Reading originals, and a new pull-to-refresh. • Articles now open the way the publisher laid them out — photos, charts, captions and all. Reader mode is still a tap away in Safari. • The publication passport now tells you which country a source comes from: "USA", "United Kingdom", "Ukraine". • Pull-to-refresh has a character of its own: the feed creaks under your finger, and instead of a spinner the logo itself grows with the gesture, clicks at the threshold, and reassembles while the fresh issue loads. • A shorter pull now brings in a new issue, and the page no longer jumps at the moment it refreshes.
