New features Video stories. You can now post a video to your story. Picking one opens a trimmer - a filmstrip of the whole clip with two drag handles, and the preview jumps to whichever edge you're dragging so you cut on the frame you meant to. Up to two minutes. The clip is cut and re-encoded on the phone before upload, which is what makes a two-minute story possible at all. Mute before you post. A speaker button in the trimmer. A muted clip is written with no audio track, so it's silent for everyone, everywhere. Fixes The red heart is red. It was rendering black across the whole app. The bundled font was quietly intercepting it. "Add to favourites" on stickers. The option existed but could never open — the message menu won the gesture every time. It's now in the menu that does open. Story rings wear the gradient from the design instead of flat purple, everywhere: the rail, posts, profiles, the chat list. The status rail is open by default on the home feed. Video preview has sound. It was silent before upload and audible after — confusing, and my bug. Notifications spinner is centred instead of stuck at the top. Splash screen no longer pulses, no longer shows "campuswave" and then replaces it, follows light/dark, and reads The Global Scholars Network. Inbox Bigger avatars, more breathing room, a much fainter rule between rows, and a sticker now says "Sticker" rather than "Attachment".
