In the Village you can now send voice notes and audio files, links open right in the chat (YouTube plays there too), and you can send a message request to someone you're not connected with yet. Creators can update their Steez picture and credit people straight from their contacts. Plus the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

More bugfixes and performance improvements - for the techies, we brought all our dependencies up-to-date for the newest versions of iOS.

Some more bug fixes and performance improvements. Nothing too special. Making Steez better a step at a time!

Nothing more than some healthy bug fixes and performance improvements!

A rebuilt, faster Mosaic with a new discovery algorithm, smoother chats with photo, video and GIF attachments, profile banners with a link hub, and a new one-screen upload. Firstly, thank you for your patience! It's been half a year since the last public release, and we've been through countless rounds of beta testing with our team and some of our favourite creators to get this to a state we're proud to welcome you to. The focus was simple but wide: make the app feel better, faster, and as frictionless and safe as possible. If you're reading this, you're either new here, curious and have had us on your radar for a while, or one of our early users who waited patiently for this release. Whichever it is, we're grateful to have you, and the wait is finally over! Here's what we've been cooking up: 1. Mosaic - the Heart of the app: Our content feed has always been ambitious. A two-way vertical feed brings far more technical requirements and complexity than you'd expect from a standard social media app. We'll spare you the details (they're plainly boring). In 2.2.21, the Mosaic is the fastest it's ever been. We've rebuilt the feature's foundations from the ground up around what matters most: discovering new talent (hence an entirely new algorithm!), distraction-free navigation (no more slow loading screens or glitchy swipes) and easy participation (whether it's sharing, interacting, or even posting yourself - more on that later). 2. Village - the Heart of our communities: We've focused on private messages and creator communities so the space where people talk feels warm, smooth and fun! We've implemented all the standards you'd expect from a chat: picture and video attachments, GIFs, post-sharing and, for creators, improvements to community management, moderation and articles (honestly, articles still need some work - expect more very soon). 3. Bazaar - the Spine of our ecosystem: The Bazaar used to leave you wanting more, as it didn't offer the insights you needed about the creators you were interested in. We've added information to help you learn about your new finds and become the fan they deserve. You'll now see a creator's team, their collaborators and the people you know who already support them. The Bazaar also gets the same algorithmic upgrade as the Mosaic, so you find the talent that fits you. 4. Profile - the Face of creativity: We wanted your profile to feel more like home, and to make the best first impression on your future fans. So it's now more customisable, with banners and a link hub where you can add links to whatever you've been working on. Lots of work also went into uploading: one screen for all the fields (title, caption, genre, credits, etc.), improved collection mechanics, more insight into your post before it goes out, and better progress feedback as it lands on the Mosaic. 5. Gallery - the Key to your support: The Gallery is where everything you collect will live. To keep the app simple, from 2.2.21 it stays out of your bottom navigation bar until you own something. This is intentional: for everyone freely watching and engaging, it removes a lot of confusion. We've still got a lot more in the works, including overhauls of certain flows and experiences, and they'll arrive very soon after this release. Until then, enjoy the many other upgrades we haven't listed above. Once again, thank you for your continued support and for your love of creativity and the arts!

Bugfixes and minor improvements.

This binary introduces one new payment flow: Steez Unlock (Bazaar → any Creator → Unlock Steez button). iOS uses Apple IAP (product ID steelo_steez_unlock_3999, £39.99). An 'Other payment options' button also offers Stripe web checkout as an alternative. No other monetisation features visible elsewhere in the app yet, only general UI improvements and bugfixes; payment surfaces for creator subscriptions, content collections, tipping, Steelo Pro, and Steez resale are yet to be implemented and not active in this binary — each will be submitted in subsequent review rounds.
