Every new account now starts with 100 Star Points to enter contests. We also fixed an error that could show Upload failed after a contest entry had gone through, and made the Do Not Sell setting save properly.

Autoplay respects your setting. Turn it off and every video waits for your tap, in the feed, on the wall and on the video screen. Winnings is straight with you: if the page cannot load it says so instead of showing zero, a placing that carried no cash prize says exactly that, and when a prize is sent to your bank you get a notification and an email the moment it goes out. Every notification opens the screen it is about, and a new What's New screen shows you what changed. Star Points shows bought and earned points separately, and you can send Star Points to another creator. Bug fixes and polish.

The upload button is back. On phones the bottom tab bar was drawn over the editor's Next button, so posting a photo or video could stall with no way forward. That is fixed, and Next now tells you why it is waiting when it is. If ForceFoe cannot load, you now see a clear message with a Try again button instead of a blank screen, and the app comes back on its own once you are online again. Manage your payout details straight from Winnings: one tap opens your payout dashboard. Contest result notifications now show the right message, and notification avatars never show a broken image. Bug fixes and polish.

A new video player, everywhere in the app. Drag the dot along the bottom of any video to rewind or jump ahead, with the time shown as you move. Tap the middle of the picture to pause. The controls stay out of the way until you ask for them, then fade on their own. Sound now follows the one video you are actually watching, so nothing talks over anything else. Your Star Point total stays visible on ended contests you own, and the vote star is back on every contest entry. Signing in is fixed: a pasted or autofilled code is accepted, and so is a code you asked to have resent. Videos with nothing to play no longer clutter the feeds. Bug fixes and polish.

A new video player, everywhere in the app. Drag the dot along the bottom of any video to rewind or jump ahead, with the time shown as you move. Tap the middle of the picture to pause. The controls stay out of the way until you ask for them, then fade on their own. Sound now follows the one video you are actually watching, so nothing talks over anything else. The vote star is back on every contest entry. It was missing from some entries on Home and Explore, which made those entries look like you could not vote on them. You can. Also in this release: Home screen widget with quick actions for contests, uploads and winnings. Notification taps now open the right screen. Clearer payout status and setup. Working sort in video management. Star Point and Boost packs available through In App Purchase, with a Restore Purchases button. Bug fixes and polish.

Uploads that actually finish • Large videos now upload. If you tried to post a long or high quality clip before and it failed instantly, that was us, not your connection. Your video is now sent in pieces instead of all at once. • Uploads retry by themselves. Lose signal partway and it picks up where it left off, costing you seconds instead of the whole upload. • You can see what is happening. The screen now tells you which part is sending and how long is left, instead of sitting on one message. Self Boops • Boost your own entry up to five times a day, one per minute. Your button shows how many you have left and counts down to the next one. • Self boops count toward contest scoring, so backing your own work is worth something. Cover • Choose the exact frame your video shows in the feed. Scrub to the moment you want and the preview follows you, so you are picking a picture rather than guessing at a timestamp. • Before this, the app always grabbed a frame from the first few seconds, which meant a video opening on a dark shot showed a dark shot. Captions • Videos now get automatic captions, so your work reaches people watching with the sound off. Going live is within reach • Live streaming used to need ten videos and five thousand followers, which almost nobody could reach. It now needs three videos and no follower minimum. A cleaner look • One consistent icon set across the editor and the video controls, so everything looks the same on every phone instead of changing with your device. Fixes • Contests that had ended no longer show as still running. A closed contest could display a countdown and invite entries that would never be judged. • The buttons beside every video now line up the same way whether the video is yours or someone else's.

Edit your videos before you post • Trim: cut your video to exactly the part you want. If your clip is over the length limit, trim it to fit right in the editor instead of hunting for a shorter file. • Mute: post without audio in one tap. • Rotate: sideways videos now post upright everywhere, exactly as you set them. Smarter uploads • We now check your contest entry before your upload begins. If a contest has closed, you already entered, or anything else would block the entry, you find out in a second instead of after a long upload. • Fixed: photos rotated in the editor showed over rotated in the feed. They now display exactly as you posted them. • Fixed: some successful posts showed a timeout error even though they went through, which could lead to accidental duplicates. You now see the success you earned. • Captions no longer cut off early. Your full title and caption post together. For businesses • Creating a business account is now quick: just your business name, category, and email to get started. Add details like your EIN whenever you are ready. • Business Verified is here: a verified badge on your profile and priority placement in the business directory for 9.99 a month.

Blocking is real now. Block someone and their posts leave your feed, and neither of you can message the other. "Don't show me this content" sticks too. You can delete your own Stories, and report anyone else's. Wall posts can now be tagged to a contest you're competing in, so the "Competing in" banner actually shows what you entered. Fixed: the double-tap heart could show the opposite of what was saved. Fixed: pausing a boost used to burn the time you'd paid for — resuming now gives it back. Fixed: your notification toggles were being saved but ignored. Turning something off now turns it off.

• Business contests are now reviewed before going live • Off-theme entries get a notice and time to fix — videos stay on your profile • Cash prizes now open to all business hosts • Unique icons for every contest • One-tap sharing + lots of polish

Confirm your email in one tap. If your email is not confirmed yet, you will now see a reminder at the top of the app with a button that emails you a link. Tap the link and you are done. This matters more than it sounds. Confirming your email is what lets us pay you if you win a cash contest, so this clears the last step between winning and getting paid.

Boosts you can actually read. A boost now costs what its length says it costs, and you can pick a 12 hour run. Every boost shows the reach it really delivered instead of an estimate. Your privacy choices stick. Signing up with Google or Apple no longer overrides the advertising opt out you already set. Turning on Do Not Sell now clears the advertising identifiers already stored, not only stops new ones. Money screens tell the truth. Balance, payout and Star Point screens no longer state amounts or timing that were not accurate. Uploading is steadier again. Five more upload problems fixed, including a comment that failed to post but looked like it had gone through. Smaller fixes. Contest rules wording, data export copy, and muting a Wall post.

Reels play as reels. A contest entry now opens in the vertical player it was filmed for — however you got there, from the feed, from search, or from a link someone sent you. Only long-form Films open in the full-screen player. Uploading is steadier. We fixed the cases where a good video could leave the Post button stuck, where a slow connection showed "Stalled" on an upload that had actually finished, and where photos from some Android phones were rejected. You can now cancel an upload in progress without losing your caption or your contest choice, and iPhone HEIC photos convert automatically so everyone can see them. Your Audience setting works. Public, Followers only and Private are now honoured everywhere — on the home feed, on Explore, on profiles and on contest pages. So is the Allow comments switch. Clearer answers about prizes. The Winnings page now tells you exactly what a prize is waiting on instead of one vague "Pending", and the leaderboard ranks by the measure that actually decides that contest. Also in this release: live streams have a sound control, wall videos can be paused and unmuted, tapping a notification opens what it is about, and sharing a video, profile or contest produces a link that actually works.

Stories are here. Share 24 hour photo and video Stories, and tap any profile at the top of Home to watch what creators are posting right now. Photo editing that truly applies. Rotate, filter, adjust brightness and contrast, crop, and add text, all baked right into your post. Also in this update: Your AI Video Coach gives private feedback before you post A smoother, clearer upload experience A more reliable app with a range of fixes under the hood Thanks for creating with ForceFoe.

Signing up is faster and smoother, with clearer name and interest options and fixes for verification retries. Contest prizes now show the correct cash amount, and contest rules are easier to read before you enter. We also fixed a checkout issue that could show an incorrect balance message, plus general performance and stability improvements.

Clearer explanation of how winnings work, subscription terms shown at purchase, and minor fixes.

ForceFoe 1.5.6 makes the app sharper and smoother: • Sharper video previews everywhere — boosting, analytics, and your profile now load real thumbnails instead of blank tiles • Clearer Star Points history — every win now names the exact contest it came from • Stability and performance improvements across the app
