Calls: when you answer on one device, the others stop ringing immediately Calls: audio now recovers automatically after interruptions (Siri, switching apps, Bluetooth) Calls: minimized video bubble now shows the other party's live video instead of an icon Calls: local preview is draggable; back gesture minimizes the call instead of ending it Calls: turning video on during an audio call now reaches the other side Calls: iPhone reliably receives incoming calls Stability fixes and improved crash reporting

• Video player — refreshed style with a hairline progress bar and cleaner overlays. • Posts — link previews now appear in the composer and on rendered posts (title, description, and image from the linked page). • Group chats layout: avatar beside the bubble with the sender name inside the bubble. • Chat history — messages load in the correct order on cold start (fixes the duplicate / out-of-order issue). • External links — clearer warning sheet with proper Arabic copy. • Stability, layout, and translation fixes throughout.

Links inside posts and comments are now tappable, with a safety check showing the real destination before opening. @mentions and #tags color inline — multi-word names like "Maged Raslan" now highlight in full. Comments got a two-row composer with a built-in emoji picker and cleaner spacing. Tapping a notification for a comment, like, share, or new follower now opens the right post or profile instead of dropping you on the wall. And cold-starting the chat from a notification finally shows the new message right away — no more back-out-and-retry.

- Fixed a bug where your microphone could stop sending audio mid-call. The app now automatically recovers without you having to hang up. - Turning on your camera during an audio call now actually shows your video to the other person (previously they saw a white screen). - YouTube links in chats and posts now show a beautiful preview card. Tap to watch in the YouTube app — full native player with picture-in-picture, captions, and comments. - See a live YouTube preview while writing a post, exactly as it'll appear when published. - Chat headers and message bubbles now look right on iPad and Galaxy Fold — no more giant fonts or bubbles spanning the whole screen. - The floating "+" button no longer covers the welcome screens for new users.

Faster, more stable photo & video picker. We rewrote the in-app gallery used when adding media to posts, reels, chat, profile, real-estate listings, services, and communities. Scrolling no longer slows down the app or causes it to close — even with hundreds of videos in your gallery. The picked file is now prepared only when you actually tap to select it. Join compound — simpler. Joining a compound now asks for just your building number and apartment number. No contract photo is required. Sign-up fixed for Saudi Arabia and other countries. Users registering with a Saudi (or any non-default-country) phone number were getting an "invalid country" error. Sign-up now works for every country.

iPhone: push notifications fixed, and incoming calls now ring even when the app is in the background or closed.
