Never miss an episode • Episode alerts: tap the bell on an anime and pick Japanese, Subtitled or Dubbed. Each one you pick is its own notification, the moment that release airs. • When it airs, before you set it: the bell's sheet says when each release lands. No subtitles yet? You're told at the Japanese broadcast until there are. No dub yet? Turn it on anyway, and you'll hear when the first dubbed episode airs. • Notifications worth opening: the anime's cover, the episode, and how many you're behind. Tap one to land on the day it airs in the Schedule. • Delays, as they happen: when an episode you have a bell on is pushed back, you hear about that too, with its new date when there is one. • Your Inbox: the bell on your profile opens everything you've received, newest first. Swipe one to the right to mark it read. • Choose what reaches you: Settings has a Notifications page with a switch for each kind, every anime you have a bell on, and a test to check your phone can be reached. • Bells where you look: My List and the Schedule show a bell on the anime you have alerts on. • A new look for your profile: your banner runs edge to edge and stretches as you pull the page down, banners are taller, your account number sits beside your service, and you can rotate a picture while you frame it. • Your profile on iPad: it fills the screen, and editing it opens full screen. • Share from the menu: an anime's poster is shared from the ⋯ menu on its screen. • More room to scroll: on iOS 26 the tab bar tucks away as you scroll down. • Fixes: widgets on tinted and clear Home Screens keep their artwork, and before iOS 26 the buttons over an anime's artwork sit on a dark circle so they stay visible over a bright cover.

A profile that's yours • A picture of your own: pick one from your library or take a new one, frame it in the circle, and it shows on your profile and as the Profile tab's icon. • A profile to fill in: add a name, a bio and a status from one form, and a banner across the top with its own editor. • Favorite genres and studios: pick the genres you love and rank your favorite studios. They sit on your profile, and tapping a section's title shows them all. • Your profile from the start: setup now has a profile step right after your username. All of it is optional. • Profile tab: it now shows your username as its title and your picture as its icon. • Started when you start: logging a first episode fills in today as the start date, never over a date you set yourself. • Clearer save errors: when a change doesn't save, a note at the bottom says which anime, where it stands now and why, instead of an alert in your way. • Smoother list transfers: the progress bar glides instead of jumping, and the button says what's happening while it runs. • Fixes: a start or finish date you cleared no longer comes back after a refresh, moving to the final episode right after opening an anime now saves it as completed, long captions in setup are no longer cut off behind the button, and the first swipe through an anime's pictures no longer buzzes twice.

Your MyAnimeList, in Chisato • Connect MyAnimeList: link your account from Connections or during setup, and see which account is connected. • Bring your list across: import your whole MyAnimeList library into Chisato. Fill the gaps, keep whichever side you changed last, or start again from theirs, and watch it arrive anime by anime. • Keep MyAnimeList in step: turn on sync and every episode, score and status you change in Chisato is saved to MyAnimeList too. You can also send your Chisato list to MyAnimeList so the two start level. • Smoother setup: connect MyAnimeList and your library comes in with everything else. A big library never holds you up, and the picker now shows real anime on every shelf, with stars for your score. • New Profile tab: your account and MyAnimeList stats in one place, with Settings and Connections. Settings is now grouped into Preferences, Support and Agreements. • Better My List: sort by the date you finished, group by year or month, and see a countdown for anything still to premiere. • Clearer next episodes: a finished release says so, and late dubs keep showing their next episode. • Easier progress editing: typed episode counts save when you tap Done, and finish dates are suggested from Japan's last episode. • Fixes: My List is no longer empty right after setup, anime show as finished once their last episode airs in Japan, app icon rewards open again, the Schedule's introduction shows only once, and season labels on Discover update when you refresh.

Chisato on your Home Screen • Widgets: follow your progress on one anime with a countdown to its next episode, or see the day's airings at a glance. Choose the anime, and whether the countdown follows the Japanese air time, the subtitles or the dub. • App icons and colors: five new app icons, plus your own color for the whole app. • Get started: a short checklist for your first hour. Finish it to unlock exclusive app icons. • Easier list editing: status, progress, score, dates and rewatches, all on one sheet. • Better Schedule: search shows every matching day in one list, the header is cleaner, and more filters are available. • Faster and smoother: Discover and anime pages load faster, and scrolling is smoother. • Fixes: episodes no longer show as delayed in the week they actually air, and there are fixes for blank Schedule days and sign-in hiccups.

Share your anime, and a list that finally bends to you. • Share an anime as a poster: its cover, tinted by its own colours, with your status, score and progress on it. Send it straight to Instagram Stories, Messages, AirDrop or Photos. • Filter your list by tag, year, release or rating, and sort it by what airs next, how far behind you are or how long you have left. • Two list layouts: swipe one status at a time, or scroll every status as a single list. Group by status or by year. • Schedule filters by type and by release: raw, subtitled or dubbed. • Score and progress now sit at the top of the anime screen, with a new dial to rate on. • Your list loads much faster. • Clips: a full-screen player, a sheet that keeps YouTube's subtitles, and a short guide to how it all works. • A "What's new" page in Settings, so you never miss a release. • Fixes: list statuses stay in sync across the app, and a show no longer reads as finished before its finale airs.
