Welcome to Willowmere, a new neighborhood beneath the willow tree! • Meet Pip, Marla, Bud, and Fern. Help with their requests, discover their stories, and watch their cottages grow. • Sit a while with Rowan, the traveling storyteller, and collect tales from near and far. • Discover three new critters: a cricket, mouse, and hedgehog. • Explore with the new Grove map. • Enjoy refreshed shops and inventory, easier furniture arranging, and clearer quest indicators. • Celebrate completed requests and keep your neighbors’ letters. Thanks for growing with us. There’s more to discover, one cozy visit at a time.

A cozier welcome and a rounder pond. • New first steps: the grove now walks you from your first seed to your first furniture, and the villagers chip in a housewarming gift • Coziness level-ups get a proper little celebration on screen • Mossy has a wardrobe now: a leaf hat, a petal scarf, and a star pin. Dress him up from his panel • New "How do I earn sleep sunlight?" guide, with three easy ways • Moon Pond finally curves like a real pond • More milestones to claim, smoother page swipes, and warmer wording all through the grove Thanks for growing with us. Little updates like this one will keep coming.

A little polish patch, grown with love: • Sleep now counts without a watch — set up a Sleep Schedule in the Health app and your iPhone tracks it by itself. A new guide in the Sunlight sheet shows you how. • Watching a Sunshine Boost now ends the right way: a claim card, and your sunlight counting up as it lands. • Music and sounds now play even with the ring switch on silent — the in-app toggles are in charge. • Swiping between pages is lighter on one hand — a quick flick is enough. • The Today's Sunlight sheet got a cleaner layout, and Grove Vigor shows its milestones as little leaves. • Ads are now strictly family-friendly. • Assorted small kindnesses: clearer arrange mode, honest Health toggles in Settings, and step encouragement joins in when you say yes to notifications.
