TapXO 2.0 rebuilds online play around your friends. • Challenge a friend to any game straight from your friends list, or let Quick Match find you an opponent — rated games move your Elo. • Add friends in seconds with a short friend code. • New message requests: someone you haven't added can say hello, and it's your call — unanswered requests disappear after 48 hours. • A cleaner profile that puts your ranks and levels front and center.

A new look. Fresh app icon, and the game tiles are redrawn in colour. Pieces now land with some life: tic-tac-toe marks settle into place, Connect Four discs fall and bounce into the slot, and a winning line lights up along its length. Haptics on every move, rejected tap and win — and everything here respects Reduce Motion. Fixed: Quick Match could sit searching forever without ever starting a game. It now finds you an opponent, or offers the computer, and tells you which is happening.

Community moderation The open community rooms are now moderated. Spam and abusive messages are stopped before anyone sees them, and if a message of yours is refused you'll be told exactly why rather than left guessing. Ask @tapxo Mention @tapxo in any open chat and it will answer questions about game rules, invites and room codes, who's online, and your own rating. It also answers to @tap and @tapxoo. Play again When an online game ends, you can now challenge the same opponent to a rematch straight from the result screen. A better ending The result screen now says what actually happened, and a win gets a proper celebration. If you have Reduce Motion turned on, it stays calm. Sounds Every game has its own sounds again - tic-tac-toe, connect four, chess, checkers and the rest each sound like themselves. Ratings Fixed a bug where finishing a solo game never moved your rating. Your rank now reflects every rated game you play. Offline play nearby Longer range and steadier connections when playing over Bluetooth with no internet. Messages now survive a crowded room instead of being drowned out, and the app is honest when a message hasn't actually left your phone. Push notifications Fixed the reason notifications never arrived.
