• The new “Counter” widget shows one of your counters from “Ours” on the home screen — say, the days and hours until you meet. You choose which one on the widget itself, and the number updates on its own, no need to open the app. • The new “Shopping” widget is your shopping list with a circle by each item: tick things off right in the shop without opening the app. You choose which list on the widget itself, and “+” opens it ready for a new item. • The “Together” widget can count in years, months and days: say, 2 years, 9 months and 15 days instead of 1,019 days. Choose it on the widget itself — and if you’ve already switched Home to years, the widget picks that up on its own. • To reply in chat, swipe a message left from anywhere in its row, even a very short one. • Swipe down on the conversation to hide the keyboard. • Calendar categories: twelve colours for your own, and any you don’t need, even ready-made ones, can be left out of the choices. • In “Clay & Sage” on two phones, you now walk with the buttons on the left and jump with the one on the right. Left-handed? Swap sides in the menu during a level. • “Guess my pick” has forty new questions about sleep, chores, food, the holidays and home. • You can send a touch from Home every five minutes now, not every ten.

• A new app icon: Clay and Sage are now 3D, as if moulded from clay, and Sage has grown a sprout. On your phone you can switch back to the previous icon or pick the flat one: Settings → Look and home → App icon. • Sections on the “Ours” tab can now be dragged into another group too: press and hold one, drag it and let go where you want it. • You can now reply to your partner’s photo of the day with an emoji or a few words. Tap the heart on the corner of their photo on the home screen — they’ll see your reply under their photo, and if photos of the day are saved to the album, it stays there too. • Games on the “Ours” tab can now go into any group too: press and hold a game and drag it — say, “Battleships” up to the top, into the first group. • There’s now a “Nibble” next to “Hug” on the home screen: one tap and your partner gets a notification. Like hugs, no more than once every ten minutes. • On the “Touch” screen, taps in different places are no longer joined by a line, so you can leave dots. And your partner’s dot no longer lags behind its own trail. • Voice messages your partner sends in a row now play one after another by themselves. • Photos in the album and on the chat’s “Attachments” screen now flip with a tap near the edge of the photo, like in Telegram. And while the next photo loads, the previous one no longer stays on screen. • In the chat, your partner’s messages now show their photo — or their character if they have no photo. • Marking the end of a period is now easier: on the cycle screen the “Ended on this day” button stands out, and on the home screen “Ended earlier” sits next to “Ended today”. • On iPhone, you can now set a task’s due date on the first try, and the options under an event’s “Repeat” no longer hide under the keyboard. • The “Our calendar in Google and Apple” link now carries only shared events: personal ones, without “For both of us”, no longer end up in your partner’s calendar or in yours. • At launch, the home screen no longer jumps: whatever your phone already knows is in place right away.

• You can now rearrange sections right on the “Ours” tab: press and hold one, then drag it. Hold and let go to move it up, into another group, or hide it. • “Battleships” is now right on the “Ours” tab with the other games, and “Duel for two” has moved to “All games”. To bring it back, press and hold a game on “Ours” and choose “Duel for two” — it takes that game’s place. • Don’t need “Counters”? Hide them in “What to show”, or — while you have none — with the cross on the card itself. • Your own time zone: Settings → Notifications → Time zone. Your partner’s changes and games won’t arrive at night where you are, and tips and emails come only in the daytime. Handy if your phone isn’t set to your zone or you use the web version.

• “Ours” is easier to scan: the main sections are big cards, the rest are tiles, and nothing is hidden. If a game is waiting for your move, you see it straight away. • “Sizes” is now on the “Ours” tab too. • “All games” now shows games as tiles, and the ones where it’s your move are gathered in one card at the top. • The “What to show” screen in settings now has one view at a time: “Home” or “Ours”. • Dictation no longer gets stuck: you can always stop it, even if speech recognition goes quiet. In the assistant, the mic turns off by itself once you start typing. • Parella stickers are on Telegram now: the same ones as in the chat, plus new ones. Settings → Notifications → Telegram → Add the set. • In the “Plain” style, icons now sit on matching backgrounds and use the colour you picked in Look and home → Colour.

• The app now has a “Plain” style for those who find it too cute: a white background (graphite in the dark theme), the system font, emoji instead of the characters’ faces in mood check-ins, and simple icons. Settings → Look and home → Style. The style changes only on this phone — your partner keeps their own. You can also pick the white background on its own: Background → White. • Parella is now our only name, in the stores too. • On iPhone, the app now needs iOS 17 or later.

• On iPhone with iOS 15–16.3, the app opens again instead of getting stuck on the loading screen. Your data and your couple are still there. • A new game — “Battleships”: on two phones, each of you firing from your own, or on one phone you pass back and forth. It’s in “Ours” → “All games”. • Counters for two — days until you meet, since you moved in, until military service ends: a name and a day, counting down to it or up from it, as you choose. Up to three per couple, and you both see them: at the top of “Ours” and on the home screen under your days together. • Decide which of you is Clay and which is Sage — in Settings → Our couple, the “Who’s who” card. Your partner sees the choice right away. • Full-screen photos now zoom with a pinch or a double tap. And the “Save photo” button next to the cross saves the picture to your phone — the photo of the day, chat photos and album photos. • Clips recorded on iPhone after this update no longer freeze halfway — the picture now plays to the end along with the sound. • Shared currency: pick it in Settings → Our couple, and savings goals and the amounts in wishlists and shopping lists show it for both of you. • Long shopping item names are no longer cut off for good: tap one to see it in full. The box on the left ticks the item off. • The chat no longer jumps: photos and sketches take their place right away, and tapping the paperclip doesn’t send you back to older messages. • You can attach a screenshot in the “Write to us” chat. And under the assistant’s reply there’s “That helped” and “I need a person” — the second passes the conversation straight to us. • If your partner sends a six-digit code, the app will tell you it’s a code from a different app: a Parella code has eight letters and digits. • On iPhone, the system prompts for access to photos, the camera and the microphone now come in one language instead of two: Russian on a phone set to Russian, English on any other.

• The app is now called Parella and has a new icon — Clay and Sage, the characters from the stickers. Your data and your couple are all still there, and there’s no need to sign in again. • A new game — “Stories”: short stories for two where each of you chooses on your own phone, and the choices are revealed once both are made. It’s in “Ours” → “All games”. • Clay and Sage are now in the app itself: on section icons, in place of initials on avatars without a photo, and wherever things are still empty — a new chat, lists and wishlists. They also wait for your partner with you and show up when there’s no connection. • Clay and Sage now show your mood: five of their faces instead of emoji — on the home screen and on the “Mood history” screen. Your mood shows on your character’s face, your partner’s on theirs. • Tic-tac-toe for two is in “Ours” → “All games”: take turns, each on your own phone, and your move waits for your partner even when the app is closed. • Tasks can now repeat every day, every week or every month — edit a task, “More” → “Repeat”. When you tick one off, it moves to “Done” and the same task takes its place for next time. • All photos, voice messages and clips from the chat are now on one screen, by month: a photo opens full screen, a voice message plays right in the list. It’s under the paperclip: “All photos, voice messages and clips”. • Home screen widgets now follow the app’s theme: if you’ve picked dark or light in the app, the widgets match it, even when your phone uses the other one. The “Together” widget shows mood faces — yours and your partner’s. • Home screen widgets now match the app’s colour. To pick a colour: Settings → Look and home → Colour. • Confirm your email to get three chat stickers from Clay and Sage. They’ll appear at the end of the sticker panel. • You can now arrange your loyalty cards: press and hold a card, then drag it. The order is shared, so your partner sees it too. If your partner’s app is older, the cards stay as they were on their phone. • Secret answers now has twice as many of its usual questions — a hundred and twenty. New questions come mixed in with the earlier ones, and those you’ve already answered won’t come up again. • A sent photo of the day now goes into the album together with its caption. You can also fix your caption after sending — just tap the words on the home screen. • If a photo doesn’t load because of a server hiccup, the app tries a few more times on its own, and again when you come back to it. Photos, voice messages and clips the server didn’t accept go out again after a few seconds. If that fails too, your shot and caption stay put — just tap “Retry”. • If you’ve already seen a message, reaction or event in the app, you won’t get a notification about it afterwards. • Emails about news and offers come only if you’ve agreed to them: with the tick box when you sign up, or the “Emails from Parella” row in Settings → Notifications. They’re off by default. • The “Year together” picture and the game result card now end with the Parella mark and name instead of a link. • In the wishlist, “Came true” and “Gifted” can be undone right away with “Undo”. • On iPhone with iOS 27, the dark theme no longer has a light band at the top of the screen. • The calendar is simpler: in the event form, category and attachments are now under “More”, and “Repeat” is a single row, like “When”. • The chat now shows when your partner is in the app: a ring around their photo and “in the app” under their name. The mark works only when both of you have turned it on: Settings → Data and account → Data and security, the “Partner in the app” card. It is off by default, and the app keeps no history of visits.

• The calendar now has colour-coded categories: eight ready-made ones, such as “Work”, “Home” and “Date night”, and your own — a name and a colour. A category shows as a word and a dot in the day list, and a switch under the grid colours the month’s dots by category. • The switch above the grid once again splits the calendar by who added what: “Mine” — your events and tasks, your partner’s name — theirs, “Shared” — everything for both of you. • Stickers in the chat: 31 stickers with our two characters. Tap the button on the right of the empty field, or find “Stickers” under the paperclip. If your partner’s app is older, they’ll see “Sticker” and an emoji. • Swipe a message left to reply, like in messaging apps. Long press still works. • Send up to 10 photos from your gallery at once. On your phone, the new “Camera” under the paperclip takes a photo and sends it right away. • iPhone now has Lock Screen widgets. Above or below the clock: days together and your next round date — an anniversary, the wedding, 500 days. Another widget shows your next event, and while iPhone is locked, a placeholder hides its name. Add them in Settings → Look and home → Widgets. • The counter on the home screen: tap the number of days and it turns into years and months, tap again for days; your phone remembers the choice. Under the number is the date you got together — tap it to change the date in Settings. • A task with a due date in the calendar now has a checkbox: tick it off right in the day list or on the day view, without opening the list. • The chat has a button to the latest messages: it appears once you scroll back to older ones and counts new ones while you read — the feed no longer jumps to them on its own. Tapping the Chat tab also takes you there instead of the top. • Search on the “Ours” tab now finds the whole app in your own words: “cycle”, “period”, “lists”, “movies”, “widget”, “reply” — and every result says where it lives. Settings got a “Find a setting” field: “dark”, “password”, “telegram” take you straight to the right block. At the bottom of the “Ours” tab — “Elsewhere in the app”: lists, cycle and widgets, for those who looked for them there. • On the “Our couple” screen, your partner’s photo opens full size — tap their picture. • In the wishlist you can now mark your own wish as fulfilled — the “Came true” button under it: the wish folds away at the bottom of the list, and your partner sees there is no need to buy it. “Reserved” and “gifted” marks stay visible only to whoever set them. • Chat drafts survive leaving the app: an unfinished message comes back to the field, an unfinished sketch to the sheet, and “Sketch” in the attach tray gets a dot. Nobody else on this phone gets your drafts: signing out clears both. • The photo of the day on the home screen is big again — two squares, as before — and can carry a caption: after framing, write a few words, and your partner sees them under the photo and full screen. If the photo doesn’t load the first time, its square no longer stays empty. • Shift schedules and any other repeating event: remove one shift or move it to another day — the rest stay where they are. Open it in the calendar: at the top of the form, “This day only” offers “Remove” and “Move”. Changed days are listed in “Removed or moved” under “Repeat”, and you can put one back from there. • Your partner no longer gets a front-camera clip mirrored: they see what you saw in the circle. • If your colours are nearly the same, like “Sea” and “Indigo”, calendar dots no longer merge into one blue: the app uses two clearly different colours instead. • If a wish’s link field holds something that isn’t a link, a hint appears under it and your text stays in the form — before, the wish just didn’t save. • A product link from Ozon, Wildberries or Yandex Market: the app now says plainly that the store doesn’t share product details, so type the name yourself.

• Wedding anniversaries on the home screen now show their traditional names — paper, wood, silver — and a gift idea two weeks ahead. In your first year together, the app marks every month. • A message that couldn’t go out while you were offline now sends itself once you’re back online with the app open. Text and short voice messages are kept even if you restart the app. • Undo after deleting a list item brings back the same item, photo included, and your partner no longer gets a notification as if it were new. • A goal step your partner added no longer disappears when you edit the same goal. • Photos in the album, on the map and in letters no longer go blank when the app has been open for a while. • Opening the app without a connection no longer drops event reminders or the alert that a letter has opened. • Joining with your partner’s code no longer leaves you without a space if the connection drops or you both enter each other’s codes at once. • Touch and Hug now work even if the connection dropped for a moment. • A message that got through on a patchy connection no longer shows “Not sent” or asks to be sent again. • The field you’re typing in now has a frame around it, so you can see where your text goes. • Names and short words in headings are no longer hyphenated, and a date like 30 September stays on one line. • We’ve updated the privacy policy: it now says how long the server’s backups are kept and what happens to subscribed calendars when one of you leaves the couple.

• An event with an attachment now reminds you at every time you chose, not just one. Your partner’s personal events no longer remind you on your phone. • You can type your partner’s code on a Russian keyboard too: the app reads look-alike letters such as К, Р, М and Х by itself. • Loyalty cards and notes open without a connection: you see the last version that loaded, card pictures included. • App lock now covers the whole app, including a note that opens when you open the app. • After you join with your partner’s code, notifications arrive right away, without restarting the app. • In two-phone Dilemma, rounds only use dilemmas your partner has too. If they’re on an older version of the app, the game says so instead of showing an empty question. • Voice messages that played silently on iPhone until you scrubbed now play with sound right away. • After you leave a couple, widgets no longer show the photo, tasks, events and note from the couple you left. • In the calendar, next month’s days in the bottom row of the grid now show dots for their events. • We’ve updated the privacy policy: it now says in more detail which emails we send.

• You can now pick a background: Sand, Cream, Blush or Sage, each with its own version for the dark theme. Settings → Look and home → Background, next to the colour. It changes on this phone only; your partner keeps their own. • The assistant now knows about “My sizes”: ask what ring size your partner wears, and it will tell you. You can simply say your own size — the assistant shows a “Will be saved” card and saves it when you tap “Save”. Ask it to remember something and it offers to add it to your shared notes. Ask it to remind you on Monday and it becomes a to-do for Monday — that morning, the app on your phone will remind you. • Dilemma has 130 new dilemmas, some warm, some silly — about home, food, trips and dreams. That’s 190 in all. • When the Dilemma deck runs out, the screen says “That’s every dilemma” and offers “Restart the deck”: the dilemmas you’ve played go back into the deck, and your past rounds stay. On two phones, the last round no longer ends with a “Play again” button that did nothing. Rounds started by your partner now count as played too, and if a round has dilemmas you’ve already played, the game says so before the first one.

• Swipe right from anywhere on the screen to go back, not just from the edge. • Task statistics count a task on the day it was ticked: renaming it or changing its due date afterwards no longer moves it to the day of the edit. A tick from the “Tasks” widget or one made offline records the moment you tapped. Tasks ticked off long ago still count by the day they were last edited — the note at the bottom of the screen says so. • We’ve updated the privacy policy: after messages are deleted or edited, and after you delete the couple space or your account, the law requires us to keep a locked copy of the messages for 6 more months, and records about them and about the account for 3 years. Neither of you will see them. The “Data and security” screen and the prompts for deleting your account, the couple space or a sealed letter now say the same.

• Places map: new photos in your shared album appear on the map where they were taken, and ones taken away from home on nearby days gather into a trip with dates. For photos already in the album, or ones without a place, tap “Where was it taken?” and mark the place yourself. Each of you turns the map on for your own photos; turn it off, and your photos’ places are erased right away. The map is in “Ours” and in the gallery. • You can now confirm your email address or fix a typo in it under Settings → Data and account → Account, and for the first week after sign-up the home screen reminds you. If the space you join by code already has two people and one of them is you on your old account, tap “It’s me — sign in to my old account” and the app will help you get back in. • On your phone, Settings → Notifications now has a “Tips” switch: inviting your partner, round dates, what your partner added, plans — at most once every three days and never at night. One tap turns it on or off. • The web version is lighter on the first visit: only the core of the app loads up front, and sections you’ve already visited open offline too. • On the “My sizes” screen, the example in an empty field — such as “E.g. 5′6″ or 168 cm” — no longer looks like a value you’ve already filled in.

• If you’ve been away and the app asks you to sign in again, your email is already filled in. And before you create a new account, it reminds you that you already have one and offers to recover your password.

• The app got lighter: it loads a quarter less code at startup.

• A new look: a warm background, four tabs, and the two of you side by side on the home screen. • One “+” button: type what to add, or hold it to dictate several things to the assistant at once. • Settings are shorter: groups on the first screen, everything else one step deeper. • Lists open offline, and the calendar has a new “Shared” view without personal events. • Chat clips: five a month instead of three in total; voice messages: fifteen a month instead of ten. • Emoji in the mood circles now sit right in the centre.

• Hug or kiss your partner from the home screen — they get a notification. • Notifications about your partner are yours to choose: tasks, games, ticks. • Event reminders ahead of time; repeats every few days or on a shift schedule. • The couple’s calendar goes into the calendar you already use. • Albums in the gallery: photos fall into place by name. • New in Games — “Date ideas”: one a week, the same one for both of you. • Task statistics: how many each of you closed, by week or year.

• The launch animation is smoother. • On the “Find each other” screen the buttons no longer sit glued together.

• In "Message us" the assistant replies first — usually within a minute. Its replies are signed, and if it cannot help, your question goes straight to us. • New game, Duel for two: the phone between you — reaction, turf war and sync, three rounds. • The privacy policy is more precise: what AppMetrica and the ad platform you came from learn, and how to switch it off. • Text fields no longer show a stray frame while typing; the buttons under the couple photo sit right, on narrow screens too.

• The Touch screen on tall phones: the field sits right under the captions instead of drifting down to the tab bar, and the moment line is always visible. • A new-message notification no longer pops up over the open chat; on other screens it's a banner with an "Open" button. • "Read" is set only while the chat is actually on screen. • Paying for Plus without leaving the app: the form opens right over the screen. • Documents open in the in-app browser.

• You & Me Plus: 2 GB album instead of 75 MB, video and clips, full-quality photos and downloads, 500 MB of documents, a photo in a letter to the future, "Year together" as a picture, archive export. One pays — both get it. Not a subscription: 1, 3 or 6 months, no auto-renewal. Settings → "You & Me Plus". • Everything you use today stays free. Plus takes nothing away. • Clips: a short video with sound straight from the chat — up to 30 seconds.

• The colour is yours now: five colours next to light and dark — Settings → "Colour". • Split the chores: items in a to-do list have "I'll take it", so you both see who took what and who did how much. • Pin an address to an item in a places list and tap it to open maps. The app never asks for your location. • "Data and security": where your documents and photos live, who can see them, how to delete it all. • All of it came from your wishes. Keep them coming: Settings → "Suggest an improvement".

• Goals can save up now: set an amount and the app shows how much is put aside and how much is left. Both of you can add to the pot. • Goals got stages: idea, in progress, on hold. A paused goal no longer gets lost among the active ones. • Letters to the future. Write a letter that opens no earlier than the day you pick — until then nobody can read it, not even you: the text stays sealed on the server. • All of it came from your wishes. Keep them coming: Settings → "Suggest an improvement".

• Rate the app right from settings. And when things are going well for you two — a shared goal closed, a photo added to the album — the app will ask once, at a good moment, instead of on every launch. • Cycle calendar: tidier spacing on the card, the footnote no longer sticks to the button. • Sign-up no longer blames your email when the password is at fault: the reason shows under the field it belongs to.

• Touch — a shared screen for two, live: both draw with a finger, see each other's trail, and the phone buzzes when the fingers meet. Call your partner to it. • Sketch with a finger straight into the chat. • Add a loyalty card as a photo, even when its code will not scan. • Repeat an event daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. • A shared photo of you two, a wedding date and 24 emoji for the mood. • Reorder the steps in a goal and the items in a list. • Change your password and email in settings.
