Faster startup, especially on older devices: your feeds, unread counts, and feed icons now appear instantly while the latest articles sync in the background. New activity indicators show when feeds are loading and when articles are being tagged, so you always know the app is working. Send Feedback is now in Settings → About (and the Help menu on Mac), pre-filled with your app and OS versions to help us fix issues faster.

Listen to your articles! New Read Aloud feature with natural AI voices — a full player with play/pause, skip, and speed controls, plus background playback with lock screen and headphone controls. Pick your favorite voice in Settings. Smart tags. Articles are automatically tagged on your device, with a new tag browser and a Topics view that groups your reading by subject. Tags you've finished reading are tucked away just like folders, and counts update as you read. Share from anywhere. Send links to Flux News from Safari and other apps with the new share extension. Faster everywhere. The app now opens instantly to your articles even before syncing, and search shows results immediately from articles on your device. Fixes. Unread badges update the moment you read, background refreshes no longer disturb the list you're reading, and the share sheet on Mac works again.

• Flux News adopts Liquid Glass on iOS 26 and macOS 26 — toolbars, banners, and the article navigation bar now float above your content. Earlier versions of iOS and macOS keep the familiar look. • Your theme now applies everywhere, including settings sheets, popovers, and alerts, and its accent color carries through to standard controls. • Sepia, Midnight, OLED Dark, Warm Dark, and the High Contrast themes now color every status indicator, so starred, unread, and error markers stay legible against your chosen background. • Articles now render identically on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Improved sync delta performance at startup and when manually run.
