New: open reddit.com links from Safari straight into Lander. Enable the "Open in Lander" extension once in Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions, and links you tap on the web land in the app. Also in this release: - Fixed: the first swipes after opening a subreddit sometimes did not register - Fixed: opening the app from a widget or link could land on Home instead of the right screen, and some links opened twice - Fixed: confirmation messages were invisible when Settings was opened from the Profile gear - Fixed: "Reset All Settings" no longer flips frame-rate and Translate settings away from their defaults - Tidied the Notifications settings screen

A small housekeeping release: a refreshed App Store presentation and minor internal cleanups. All the good stuff from 2.1.4 - inline imgur albums, Streamable playback, the smarter galleries - keeps working exactly as before.

Private browsing relay: signed-out browsing can now route through Columbia, an open-source, operator-blind transport that keeps the sites you read from seeing your address. It's on by default and always falls back to a normal connection, so browsing never breaks. Manage it in Settings › Advanced › Columbia, or point it at your own self-hosted instance. Smoother scrolling: fixed the feed stutter and hitching on ProMotion displays, and steadied video cards so the feed no longer jumps as media loads. Swiping back from a post now returns you to exactly where you were. Modmail: fixed the Mod segment so conversations show and open correctly again. Plus a redesigned inbox, Reddit Chat, and a batch of messaging and stability fixes.

Faster, smoother feed - New media prefetch pipeline warms thumbnails + video metadata 4-8 cells ahead of the viewport, so you should rarely see a loading spinner during normal scrolling - Direct video posts open with the first frame ready instead of after a network round-trip - Per-cell render hot paths memoized — vote/save no longer re-runs markdown processing or autoplay detection - ProMotion (120Hz) verified default-on for Pro devices; backs off to 60Hz only on serious thermal pressure (no more silent-fallback) - 60Hz devices skip the ProMotion code path entirely (less wasted work) Inbox + chat - "New Chat" restored to the inbox compose menu — search a username and start a chat with one tap (regression that landed in build 20) - Reddit chat / DM threads now render markdown tables, blockquotes, headers and lists (RemindMeBot, AutoModerator, etc. — previously rendered as raw |info|custom|... pipes) - Footer link labels in bot replies (Info / Custom / Your Reminders / Feedback) display at readable cell font instead of unreadably-tiny Unicode superscript Comments - Single-line comments are ~22-25pt shorter — vote/reply/ellipsis no longer rendered with a 44pt frame they didn't need - Reply button hit area no longer shrinks below 44pt at densest density × smallest Dynamic Type - Vote score animation collapsed to a single spring (no more stacked animations + sleep-Task per tap) - Markdown pre-processing memoized — long comment threads scroll smoother Posts - Action row buttons (vote / share / more) tightened in the same way as comments - Mod-tap on Remove now requires a confirmation — finger-slip no longer instantly nukes a post or comment - Touch-target floor (44pt) restored on action sheet rows, gesture settings cards, "Load more comments" and "Continue thread" buttons Profile - Tighter card spacing on Comments tab — your own comment list feels denser instead of sparse - Video posts in profile no longer get stuck on a spinner if a load Task races a URL change Search - Save Search modal opens correctly (was crashing on first open due to missing environment injection) Accessibility - High Contrast theme accent + voteInactive colors bumped to clear WCAG AAA 7:1 (previously failed at 6.3:1 / 6.4:1) - New WCAG 2.5.5 touch-target floor centralized — easier to apply consistently across new code Security & multi-account - Account switch now flushes shared HTTP caches + in-flight request dedup so account A's data can't leak to account B - Anonymous OAuth device_id is now RFC 3986 form-body encoded — defense against future writers smuggling extra params into the token POST - Biometric unlock retries with backoff instead of firing 3 simultaneous Face ID prompts Bug fixes - AVPlayer "remove time observer was added by a different instance" crash fixed (LANDER-IOS-1K) - KeychainError on locked device no longer reported as an error in Sentry (LANDER-IOS-1M) - Comment vote score animation no longer stacks 3 animation modifiers + spawns a sleep-Task per tap - Stuck spinner on video posts when a load Task race left isLoading=true forever - Markdown tables: separator column count now matches header (was emitting N+1 cells against N-cell header → cmark-gfm rejected as paragraph) - Markdown URLs inside [text](url) no longer get re-linked when they contain /r/ or /u/ (was breaking the link AND the surrounding cell) - 30 ProfileViewModel / SearchViewModel test crashes at deinit — Swift runtime back-deploy bug worked around with explicit nonisolated deinit

Minor UI fixes.

- Smoother sign-in — the app now refreshes your session automatically in the background, so opening Lander after a few days no longer drops you on a "couldn't load" screen. - No more random crashes when opening Submit Post, Subreddit Info, Subreddit Rules, the Flair Picker, the Reply sheet, or any of the new chat / inbox / search modals. - No more crashes when tapping links inside comments — even oddly-formatted mailto:, tel:, deep-link, or malformed URLs are now handled gracefully. - No more crashes on heavily-formatted comments (lots of bold, italics, spoilers, emoji flair) — the renderer now stays stable on every comment. - Faster, snappier launches — eliminated a startup hitch that could freeze the app for ~2 seconds on cold launch. - More reliable subreddit list & feed loading — the app is now tolerant when Reddit serves an unexpected response (HTML error page, partial data, etc.) instead of showing an error. - Quieter translation errors — when Apple or Google translate can't process a comment, the app now just shows the original text without spamming an error toast. - Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements to iCloud sync, memory pressure handling, and crash-report quality (so future bugs get fixed faster).

Performance improvements and bug fixes

Security - Closed a critical vulnerability where a crafted direct-message image URL could steal your Reddit session token. Any account that received such a DM is now safe on 1.9.8+. New - Inline video audio. Tap the new speaker button in the bottom corner of autoplaying videos to unmute without opening the fullscreen viewer. Unmuting a second video automatically mutes the first — no more stacked audio. - iPad reading width. Posts no longer stretch the full width of the screen on iPad. The feed now sits at a comfortable reading column like Mail or Notes. Fixes - Fixed a rare crash when tapping links with unusual URL schemes (mail, tel, deep links). - Fixed a crash on Streamable videos whose IDs contained special characters. - Fixed a rare crash when rendering very long or malformed Reddit comments. - Translation no longer crashes the app when you scroll away mid-translation. - Votes on comments no longer fail silently when you scroll while the vote is in flight. - Fixed the token-refresh loop that could make the app appear signed in but unable to load content. Accessibility - VoiceOver now properly announces the action for every icon-only button in Search, Saved Searches, and toast dismiss prompts. Performance - Smoother scrolling in the feed — fewer redundant cache rebuilds on vote and refresh. - Gallery pages no longer reset zoom or re-fetch images when the gallery updates. Under the hood - Massively reduced noise in our internal crash reports so real issues surface faster. Expected benefit: faster turnaround on future bug reports. - Cleaned up ~600 lines of dead code across video, performance, and navigation subsystems.

Stability fixes

Fixed - Sign-in now actually completes after tapping Accept. A silent failure path in the OAuth callback let the popup close without logging you in; that's fixed. - Subscribed-subreddit list stops wiping out when Reddit occasionally returns a malformed entry for a single sub. - Deep-thread "load more" no longer gets stuck — same fix that landed for the main comments view now covers "continue this thread" too. - Notification Sound picker's "None" option actually mutes now (was still playing the default tone). - Tapping a link-post thumbnail opens the browser again — including articles where Reddit's preview is a scraped image. Also: new Safari badge in the corner so you know a thumbnail is a link before you tap. - Vote count is visible at "Normal" density — it was getting clipped by the row layout on some posts. - Delete on your own comments in your profile now actually deletes (was closing the sheet without doing anything). Same fix makes usernames in profile comments tappable again. - Share sheet no longer crashes on iPad (tighter fix on top of the 1.9.5 one). Design - Vote colors now stay inside each theme's palette — no more out-of-place green/purple on Dark Glass, True Black, or Catppuccin variants. Up = warm, down = cool, both harmonized with your theme's accent. - Switching between feeds via the chip bar no longer flashes "No posts to display" twice before the new feed loads. - Loading spinners lost their redundant "Loading messages..." caption — the spinner's enough, and the text was rendering as a visible overlay on some themes. Under the hood - Memory-pressure cache flushes moved off the main thread — fixes occasional 2-second hangs during heavy scrolling. - Tightened our zero-PII crash reporter's filters: user cancellations (OAuth, pull-to-refresh), deleted-content 404s, and rate limits no longer create dashboard events — they stay as breadcrumbs for context if something real fails later. Still zero personal data collected.

Crashes fixed - No more crash when sharing a post on iPad - Vote state now correctly persists after swiping back to the feed - Long comment threads no longer "give up" loading midway - No more crash when opening some sheet-style screens (EnvironmentObject fix) Design consistency - Replaced custom loading spinners with native iOS indicators throughout - Feed, comments, and inbox now use skeleton rows instead of a centered spinner - Cold start renders the full UI shell first — no more "no posts today" flash before content loads - Error banners redesigned to match iOS native chrome - Swipe action colors now honor your theme (no more out-of-palette greens and purples) - Flair rendering and reply sheet chrome tightened to match the rest of the app Comments - Enlarged tap targets on vote, reply, and overflow buttons — taps never get stolen by collapse anymore - Collapsed comments now show live vote score with arrow so voting while collapsed has visual feedback - Removed the "View Context" action when you're already viewing in context - Reply button hidden on profile comment rows — it was a dead target with no post to reply into - Tapping a comment on a profile now jumps to context Inbox & chat - Chat list now shows the conversation partner's name, not yours - Tab bar no longer bleeds behind the keyboard in chat threads - "Sent an image" placeholder replaced with a styled "Image unavailable" chip when the image URL isn't resolvable - "All" tab now strict chronological — chats no longer pin above newer replies - Chat conversations load faster on repeat visits (in-memory cache with a short staleness window) - "About Chat" section surfaces Reddit API limitations so expectations match reality Search - Single search interface — removed the redundant sidebar search that disagreed with the tab-bar search - iPad keeps the search bar pinned in the navigation bar - Search chips now hit WCAG contrast on every theme (including True Black) - Trending results skip redundant refetches when already loaded - Voting/saving from search results now persists — no more state desync Links & media - Tapping a link post preview opens the browser, not the image viewer - NSFW blur: new Privacy toggle for single-tap reveal (default stays two-tap for safety) - Notification sound picker's "None" option actually mutes now (previously played the default tone) iPad - Post cards have properly rounded corners on Light Glass theme - Feed reflows correctly on split-view drag — no more horizontal ghost shift - Density picker buttons are fully tappable across the row, not just the text - Share sheet no longer crashes (iPad-specific popover anchor) Discoverability & small wins - Compose button on the feed so you can post without digging through menus - Text selection on post detail for quoting - Avatars on some accounts now load correctly (HTML-encoded URL fix) - Settings sliders haptics throttled to step boundaries — no more continuous buzz while dragging - Scroll returns to the top when switching feed destinations Privacy & crash reporting - Added opt-out crash reporting in Settings → Privacy → Crash Reporting - Zero personal data collected. OAuth tokens, Reddit usernames, query strings, emails, and phone numbers are scrubbed on your device before any event is sent. Screenshots, view hierarchy, network breadcrumbs, and performance traces are all disabled by design. Subreddit names in URLs are preserved (public info) as the only useful triage signal. - Anonymous install UUID is used purely for cross-event correlation — not tied to your Reddit account or device identity, rotates on reinstall, and can be reset manually. Known limitations (Reddit API, not a bug in Lander) - Chat messages: only the last ~4-5 days are retrievable — Reddit's inbox API doesn't expose older envelopes - Chat image send: still view-only pending Reddit API support

Inbox Overhaul - Inbox loads instantly without the flickering/reshuffling that plagued previous versions - Cleaned up message subjects — chat threads now show "Chat" instead of cryptic "Re: Re: [direct chat room]" headers - Replying to chat threads no longer forks the conversation into separate threads Chat & Direct Messages - Images shared in chat now render inline — no more "sent an image" placeholder text - Message alignment fixed — your messages consistently appear on the right, theirs on the left - Conversation titles now correctly show your chat partner's name Authentication - Upgrading to 1.9.4 no longer forces you to sign in again - Fixed a race condition that could cause your avatar to disappear from the feed header Under the Hood - Smarter message grouping that handles edge cases with deleted users and modmail - More resilient username resolution across the app - Removed legacy code and dead endpoints - Added targeted test coverage for inbox, auth, and message threading

Messaging & Inbox - Complete rewrite of the inbox — faster, cleaner, and the "All" tab now actually shows all your mail - Chat rooms with the same person now collapse into a single conversation (no more duplicate rows) - DM threads group correctly across every filter - Send and view images in Reddit chat messages - Reply to modmail directly from the app - Comment and post replies in the inbox now open in the real post/thread context - DM bubbles are readable on every theme (fixed unreadable outgoing text on light themes) - Infinite scroll in the inbox — keep scrolling and it keeps loading - Live Activities for chat and inbox on Dynamic Island Feed & Thumbnails - Feed thumbnails load dramatically faster and stop disappearing on scroll - Scroll-back is now instant — previously-viewed thumbnails come straight from memory - Full-resolution image decoding happens off the main thread so scrolling stays at 120Hz - ProMotion 120Hz enabled by default (opt-out in settings) - Compact web links now always have a thumbnail — favicon fallback when the post has none - Media in card view is properly centered Comments - Comment images and GIFs now actually render (previously many showed as blank rows) - Full-resolution comment images — no more width-capped previews - GIFs animate properly frame-by-frame instead of showing a frozen first frame - Giphy, Imgur, and Tenor links embedded in comments render as real inline images - AutoModerator comments now match the visual style of regular comments - Inline images in comments are tappable — opens the full-screen viewer Swipe Gestures - Fixed: you can now actually downvote comments via swipe — previously the downvote zone was physically unreachable no matter how far you swiped - Clear visual line appears during a swipe showing the upvote → downvote boundary - Haptic feedback when you cross the boundary in either direction - Icon visibly pops and color flips between green (upvote) and red (downvote) at the threshold - Swipe-to-reply works reliably again for both posts and comments Authentication - Fixed a persistent sign-out loop affecting TestFlight users - Adding a second account no longer shows "An error occurred" - Auth state survives build updates — no more mystery logouts after installing a new version - Clear one-time notice when the app had to sign you out for a schema migration Sharing & Clipboard - Share sheet "Copy" now respects your "Use old Reddit links" setting - Copied links sync to Mac via Continuity Handoff Media Playback - Reddit videos play reliably in the media viewer - Streamable links that fail automatically open in the in-app browser - Video autoplay in the viewer works as intended Navigation & UI - Back-swiping out of a post returns you to the subreddit you came from, not the home feed - Post toolbar icons are aligned and slightly larger - System appearance toggle works properly - Pull-to-refresh on profile and feed views no longer blanks the screen - Subreddit switching is smoother - Anonymous browsing starts automatically when you're not signed in visionOS - Feature parity with iOS: themes, dynamic post heights, media badges - Cleanup and polish throughout the spatial UI Under the hood - Dead "fake chat" code removed in favor of the real REST-polling implementation - Hundreds of lines of duplicate code eliminated; comments and DMs now share the same image loader - 837 tests passing — dozens new for inbox grouping, thumbnail upgrades, and swipe reachability - Compiler warnings cleared
