We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. The team shipped filters this round, which finally settled the long-running "capsule or dropdown?" debate. Capsules won. There were no survivors. - Filters now live right on the grid. Tap a capsule, narrow things down, and find your people faster — no more spelunking through menus to get there. - Now got a sleek dark makeover, plus the option to keep your Now visibility to just the nearby grid. Same energy, a little less spotlight. - Hornet now remembers more of its setup between launches instead of re-fetching it every time, so the app opens faster and with noticeably less fuss. - And the usual pile of small fixes and quiet polish the team is unreasonably proud of. We're letting them have this one. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. What did the team get up to this time? More than usual. Someone even stayed late on a Friday — we're still recovering from the shock. - Our logo is now a bold new orange. Same Hornet, fresh look. (The design team debated the exact shade longer than any of us will admit.) - Boost got a brand-new full-screen makeover, so standing out looks as good as it feels. - We rebuilt how the app handles hiccups from the ground up. When something goes sideways now, you'll get a clear message and a friendly Retry button instead of a baffling blank screen. - Fixed a sneaky bug where chat messages could quietly go missing when things got busy. They're staying put now. Pinky promise. - Plus a pile of crash fixes and tiny touch-ups that nobody will notice but the devs are very proud of. Let them have this one. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. This release is mostly us hunting down bugs that had the nerve to ship — though a couple of new things snuck in while we weren't looking. - Say hello to Now Mode: a new way to spotlight who's active right now, with its own filter, badge, and a button right there on the grid. The team sat on this one for a while, so they're thrilled it's finally in your hands. - Replies in chat were showing "You" instead of the actual sender's name, turning a few conversations into a confusing diary entry. Now everyone gets credit for their own words. - Read receipts now stay consistent as you scroll back through older messages, instead of quietly disagreeing with each other. - The keyboard no longer leaves an awkward empty gap behind when you swipe back out of a screen. Tiny detail. Bothered us enormously. - The grid used to freeze if you opened the filters one too many times. It has been kindly reminded that freezing is not part of its job description. - Dark mode button highlights look right again, instead of that mystery color nobody requested. - Plus a stack of under-the-hood crash fixes and smoother screen transitions you'll hopefully never notice — which is the whole idea. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. What did the team get up to this version? More than they'll admit in standup, and at least one bug was fixed out of sheer spite. We're choosing not to name names. - Error messages when the network has a moment are now actually helpful instead of cryptically vague. "Something went wrong" wasn't winning any awards. - Profile views now show a proper error state instead of just staring back at you blankly. - When someone grants you access to their private gallery, the "View" button actually shows up again. Tapping empty space was a bold choice we've decided to retire. - Height and weight now round to whole units no matter where you are in the world. The mysterious decimals have been evicted. - Fixed a crash that could strike when logging out and back in. The app used to panic; now it keeps its composure. - The profile browser no longer stalls after loading more and then fetching at the worst possible moment. Scrolling feels right again. - Tidied up a badge that liked to barge in front of buttons in the photo gallery. Personal space: restored. - Tapping live broadcast tiles now takes you exactly where you expect, instead of somewhere adjacent and confusing. - Plus the usual pile of small fixes the team is disproportionately proud of. Let them have this one. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. What did the team do this time? Mostly tidying. The kind of polish where you don't notice anything is different until you go back to an older version and wince. - Two new filters joined the lineup: "Where to meet" and "Has face pic." For when you have very specific opinions, and we respect that. - The Travel Mode card is now tappable across the whole card instead of just the one corner nobody could find. We're sorry. We've grown. - Posting a Moment now keeps the boost toggle locked until you've actually selected an image. A tiny fix that prevents a deeply confusing moment. - The onboarding name field no longer SHOUTS EVERY CHARACTER — it auto-capitalises words like a calm person would. Bonus: autofill suggestions actually make sense now. - That bug where a profile would show stale info after you'd already followed, noted, or interacted with private photos? Gone. The profile updates on the spot now. - Plus the usual handful of small fixes that nobody specifically asked for but everybody quietly needed. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. The team shipped a lot this cycle. Filters, redesigns, and performance wins. Plus a generous helping of bug fixes that nobody asked for but everyone needed. - The chat input bar has been redesigned with a fresh look. It's cleaner, more modern, and somehow the team argued about it for three days. Worth it. - You can now filter by community preferences and edit them directly from your profile. The grid now shows you exactly who you're looking for. - Profiles now open faster — you'll see faces sooner and wait less. The devs called this "performance optimization." We call it "no more staring at a loading spinner." - Fixed an audio session bug that would reset mid-call. Your video chats should now stay smooth from hello to goodbye, no mysterious silences included. - MAX subscribers now correctly show their visibility status in the grid. It was showing the wrong thing before. We noticed. We fixed it. You're welcome. - Fixed a pop-up panel that would collapse unexpectedly on certain screens. The drama was not appreciated. - Fixed the missing back button when opening a profile from a moment in the feed carousel. You were trapped. We let you out. - Fixed an empty cache page that appeared when returning from certain scroll states. It was just a blank page staring back at you. That's not a feature. - Fixed the selected tab indicator in dark mode — it was completely invisible. Like a ghost, but less fun. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. What did the team do this time? A lot, actually. Someone even stayed late on a Friday. We know. We were shocked too. - We've improved our identity verification process. It's smoother, faster, and nobody on the team cried while building it. (We can neither confirm nor deny this.) - Long feed posts now collapse behind a "...more" button. Your manifesto is still there. We just tidied up the living room a bit. - Moment comments got a whole new look - a beautiful sheet with all the activity details. We showed it to the team and someone said "finally." We're choosing not to unpack that. - Filters for looking for, relationship, and language now have a "Not Specified" option. For the beautifully undecided among us. - Chats load noticeably faster. We'd explain the technical details but honestly it would put both of us to sleep. - We updated the sign-up experience when you skip adding a photo. It's gentler now. Still judging, but gentler. - Account switching is now seamless - no more visual glitches during the transition. That was a fun bug report to read. - Fixed a crash when swiping through profiles. We found it, we fixed it, we added a test so it doesn't come back. (It'll probably come back.) - And the usual assortment of tiny fixes that nobody will notice but the devs are very proud of. Let them have this one. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.
