Hello lovelies, we are back again with another banger of an update. Here’s what’s new: - Last Active Status: One of our most asked-for feature is finally here! Now you can see when someone was last active from inside their PenPal profile. One of the newer features aimed at passively improving response rates across the board: it should enable you to take better judgement calls on who to start a conversation with from now on! This way, if someone was recently active, they are more likely to respond! Go ahead, start some new conversations with more clarity - PenPal stack/feed enhancements: To back up the flashy changes, we have also done a ton of work under the hood in improving the ways you see PenPal lettres in your PenPal stack of lettres. You will understand why we are starting to call it a “stack” instead of a “feed” (clue: we tweaked the ui and it’s not really a “feed” anymore). We are excited to hear what you think and see what you do with it! - Overall polish and new art(s): We tweaked the app with more polish, new art and more stability, better than our last update - The usual suspects: Bugs & Crashes, fixed! Thanks to each and every one of you who report these issues and help us with fixing them. It’s because of you we get to improve the experience for everyone else! What’s next: - DAILY FREE STAMPS for members of the Pippin Supporters Club - New artist collabs - Improved Rewards - Express Mail upgrades with more envelopes ...among other things! As always, everything we build is made possible by members of the Pippin Supporters Club, the reason we get to stay 100% ad-free for everyone! Thank you for making this possible. To everyone else, thank you for being a part of our journey, this community is so wholesome and nice only because of you! That’s all for today, Stay hydrated, see you soon!

Beautiful people of this adorable community, we’re back! We may have lost a little sleep, but it was all in the name of making Lettre more personal, more powerful and a whole lot smoother. Here’s what’s new: - Preparing for What’s Next: We’re laying the groundwork for some big changes coming in the next few updates. This release focuses on under-the-hood improvements. Nothing flashy (yet), but you should feel the difference. Smoother interactions, faster loading, and an overall more seamless experience. - Threaded Conversations, Upgraded: We’ve added a few fun “superpowers” for members of the Pippin Supporters Club within conversation threads. You can now instantly open incoming lettres, no waiting; unless they’ve been scheduled with Express Mail. Just tap and hold a lettre in a thread to explore these options. This isn’t about FOMO, it’s about giving you more control over how you experience your correspondence. The option matters. - A Fresh Coat of Charm: We’ve added new artwork across the app for a bit more visual “oomph.” Expect clearer messaging, better flow and an overall more delightful experience. - The Usual Suspects: Bugs have been squashed. Crashes have been handled. Things are more stable than ever, we are better than our last update! With that, see you soon with some exciting new stuff, especially for all the members of the Pippin Supporters Club! PS: One of our biggest priorities right now is improving response rates across the platform. The upcoming changes are deeply focused on that. Thank you for your patience as we work through it. We truly appreciate you being here with us. To our Pippin Supporters Club members; take some extra love. We wouldn’t be here without you To everyone, thank you for being a part of our journey!

Hello lovelies, we are here again with another important-but-small update! This one’s a good one. A little art, a little power, and a little more control over your mailbox. So what’s new? - FRESH STAMPS!: Our latest artist collab just dropped featuring julzmakesart! Check out our Post Office and find out what we have in store for you - Threaded Conversation Improvements: We added two “superpowers” in Threaded Conversations for members of the Pippin Supporters Club. 1) Unsend Mail: We believe in being deliberate… but we also believe in second chances. You can now unsend a letter if you need to. Protip: tap and hold any undelivered lettre for more options. Also, Cancelled lettres put your stamps back in your stamp book! 2) Reschedule Express Mail: Plans change. Timing matters. You can now reschedule your Express Mail with ease. Similar to Unsending, just tap and hold any undelivered Express Mail lettres to access these “superpowers” Small disclaimer: these features are not meant to take anything away from Lettre’s core features which everyone gets to enjoy, regardless of membership status. These features are just our way of saying “thanks” to the members, without whose support, we would not be here today. All of them are designed to “enhance” the experience without taking anything away. - Under the Hood / The Usual Suspects: A handful of stability improvements and cleanups to keep things running smoothly and as usual, bugs & crashes; fixed! As always, everything we build is made possible by members of the Pippin Supporters Club, the reason we get to stay 100% ad-free for everyone. Write slowly. Reply thoughtfully. And thank you for being here. We love each and every one of you for being a part of our journey! A lot more coming sooooooon!

Hello there beautiful people of the community! We’re back again with an update focused on making conversations smoother, follow-ups easier, and your mailbox a little more magical (and less mysterious than before). Let’s dive in - Polish to Conversations / Threaded Messages: You can now stay on top of your lettres like a true pen-pal professional. We have ironed out most of the kinks and quirks of our latest Mailbox overhaul. Two things to note here, one: we have yet not decided what exactly to call it and two; there could still be some funny business here and there. Please feel free to hit the “contact us” or “report a bug” button(s) from the app’s settings tab any time you come across something you think needs our attention. Thanks to your reports, we get to improve the experience for everyone! - Express Mail, now with more control: Members of the Pippin Supporters Club can now Delete scheduled mail as well as recall scheduled Express Mail. Plans changed? Second thoughts? You’re in control. These are part of the growing list of “superpowers” that keep Lettre sustainable and 100% ad-free for everyone. - The usual suspects: Bugs old and new, squashed! We have also squeezed in some improvements and taken care of some critical annoyances. Some of the noteworthy ones: * Fixed issues where newly purchased or claimed papers and envelopes didn’t immediately appear in the asset picker if it was already open. * Fixed an iPhone issue where newly obtained stamps didn’t appear in the stamp slider after you ran out. * Resolved an iPhone navigation bug where canvas and envelope state persisted after sending a lettre and navigating to PenPals, occasionally breaking the Compose screen. * Various conversation and migration cleanups to improve stability and reliability. As always, thank you to everyone who reports bugs, sends thoughtful feedback, and especially to the members of the Pippin Supporters Club; you quite literally keep the lights on so Lettre can stay free for everyone! Our eternal gratitude for you More goodness coming soon. Stay cozy. Stay hydrated

Hello lovelies, We’re back again and yes, this might be the longest stretch we’ve ever gone without an update, but we do promise you this: the wait was very much intentional and very much worth it! This update lays down some important groundwork for what’s coming next, and it brings not one, but two meaningful additions! We can't wait to share them with you. First and foremost: THREADED CONVERSATIONS is finally here! (we worked really hard for this) Say goodbye to a cluttered mailbox and the mental gymnastics of figuring out who said what (and when). With threaded conversations, your lettres are now neatly grouped by the person you’re writing to/from, making it dramatically easier to follow, reply, and actually *hold* a conversation. This is a huge quality-of-life improvement that brings clarity, continuity, and calm to your mailbox; exactly how letter writing should feel. We are also hoping this will improve response rates across the board as more people (should ideally) feel more comfortable continuing a correspondence. A little side note, for people who already use Lettre, the first-time you launch the app after this update, your Mailbox tab might take slightly longer to load up properly but we assure you it's a one-time-thing. People who join us after this update won't even know the difference. Secondly, we have "Lovebirds & Lettres": a little gift, on us To celebrate the month of love, connection, and handwritten affection, we’re releasing a free and limited-time giveaway for everyone! Claim two special sets of papers and envelopes, designed just for this season. Whether you’re writing to a longtime pen pal or someone new, consider this our way of spreading a little extra warmth. We hope you enjoy them! The usual suspects: crashes and bugs have been addressed as usual. Similarly, eternally grateful for all of you bug and crash reporters. We get to improve the experience for everyone thanks to you! As always, thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your continued support. We’ve got more stuff in the works; dropping soon! Special thanks to each and every member of the Pippin Supporters Club; your contribution and support makes this whole thing possible! We would not be here without you (literally) What’s coming: - Better rewards for everyone - Daily stamp drops for members of the Pippin Supporters Club - A few exciting stamp collabs - and many, many more! That's all for today! Onto the next

Hello again, all you beautiful people! This is going to be a short one, mostly under-the-hood changes. While you might not see a ton of new shiny things just yet, a lot of important work happened behind the scenes. These changes are laying the groundwork for the next couple of updates coming very soon, some of our most ambitious stuff (so far). Keep an eye on this space as we slowly start rolling those out over the coming weeks. As always, we also took care of the "regular suspects": squashed bugs, stability improvements and a handful of small tweaks that make the overall experience smoother and more reliable than before. A huge thank you to everyone who takes the time to report bugs and share feedback. Your reports genuinely help us make Lettre better for everyone. And an extra-special thank you to the members of the Pippin Supporters Club: your love, support and contributions are the reason we’re able to keep building, improving, and staying true to our values. We truly couldn’t do this without you. That's all for today! Till next time -- Love, from Team Lettre

Hello lovelies! We’re back again with a cozy little update, just in time for the season! Let’s see what’s new: - Seasonal FREEBIES: Claim a FREE limited-time set of stationery to celebrate the season, our way of saying “thank you” to EVERYONE in the community! As usual, once claimed, it’s yours to keep forever - New Post Office content: Our freshest set of envelopes; "Nihon’s Spirits", inspired by quiet winters, folklore and the soft magic of traditional Japanese motifs → now available at the Post Office for anyone looking to give their lettres a calm, wintry touch. - Subtle envelope screen upgrades and fixes: Some of you reported some buggy behavior on our envelope screen so we went ahead and added some upgrades along with fixes to some annoying issues. Now you can just tap a stamp to apply it “fast” if you are tired of dragging and dropping all of your stamps as well as some “quality of life” changes which should make the overall experience much smoother. Due to popular demand, we also have some planned upgrades which are also coming soon; adding more customization options to your envelopes! Stay tuned and watch this space! - Regular suspects: of course, we’ve been tending to the regular suspects. Among others, we fixed an issue where tapping the sticker icon multiple times on the envelope screen could send you backwards and we squashed a crash that could happen when sending a lettre. Everything should feel smoother and more reliable now. And as always, thank you for the bug reports, the kind notes, and the patience. Every update like this is possible because of this lovely little community. What’s next: coming soon in an update near you! - Conversations overhaul: Currently, its hard to keep track of conversations in your mailbox. Our solution to this: Threaded conversations which feel like real correspondence! An overhaul to our “Mailbox” tab, we want to make each conversation more intimate, easy to manage as well as navigate through. - PenPal feed enhancements: We are working on some under-the-hood stuff to make our PenPal feed more robust and powerful. Hope you stay with us as we work towards implementing those features! - Pippin Supporters Club upgrades: Members of the Pippin Supporters Club are the reason Lettre gets to exist at all. Your support keeps the lights on and allows us to build this little corner of the internet without ads, data selling, or any sort of corporate compromises. As a small thank-you, Supporters receive in-app perks and upgrades that aren’t available for sale elsewhere and we’re just getting started. We have a bunch of exciting improvements coming soon, including daily free stamps (instead of weekly), new PenPal “superpowers,” a revamped rewards system, and more thoughtful surprises along the way. We’re here today because of you. Truly. And we’re committed to giving you the very best we can offer in return. That’s all for today! More exciting stuff dropping soon. Thank you for being a part of the coziest corner of the internet. We love having you with us on our journey. Stay hydrated, stay wholesome, We love you! - The Lettre team

Hello lovelies! We’ve emerged from an ocean of code, caffeine, and far too many “just one last fix” moments with an update that touches nearly every corner of your PenPal experience. This one’s a big, thoughtful, quietly powerful release: the kind that doesn’t just add features, but reshapes how things feel. Because it mostly covers "upgrades" to stuff we released just last week, copy-pasting some stuff from the last release note -> Let's find out whats new! - PenPals Feed Overhaul→ SEARCH & FILTER: We have made significant changes to the engine which powers our PenPals feed! You know how you could “filter” your PenPals feed? Now you can filter AND SEARCH as well! You can search for interests, places/locations/cities and many more! With this update, we have implemented just a portion of our new search capacities. The reason we say “a portion” is because this is the groundwork for a more powerful search feature coming soon! Next stop: semantic search! What that will bring is for you to be able to look up any lettre available on the PenPal feed by just describing it! This is just step one **PS:** Search & Filter is a special little "superpower" made exclusively for members of the Pippin Supporters Club. The PenPal feed: the familiar stack of envelopes you already know and love remains the same and fully available to everyone. Nothing is being taken away from the core experience if you’re not a member. Because membership is totally optional (and because we don’t run ads or sell your data), we believe the people who DO choose to support us always deserve something extra and this is one of the many. We built it with a lot of love, and we genuinely hope you enjoy using it. Thank you, truly. Every member of the Pippin Supporters Club is the reason all of this is possible, and you make all our hard work feel worth it. Additionally, PenPal profiles also received a big round of polish! On iPhones, they now appear as a clean, semi-transparent half-sheet, and the entire layout has been tightened for clarity and elegance. The stamp strip is more compact and scrollable, and you can tap “View All” to explore someone’s full collection. A new segmented control lets you switch effortlessly between viewing someone’s envelopes and their letters. We now show shared interests and shared languages right at the top as well! - Address Book Enhancements: PenPal profiles can now be directly viewed from your address book! It is better than the last version because now, you can see who has a profile and who doesn’t; making this a better overall experience (At least since our last update). Go ahead, check out some PenPal profiles of the people you may have added to your address book and while you’re at it, don’t be a stalker: be nice and reply to lettres they posted - Fresh stamp pack!: Our latest artist collaboration has now taken our featured spot at the Post Office! Check out BunBisquit and their absolutely adorable set of stamps! Show some love, tell your friendss! - The usual suspects: Old bugs, new bugs; consider them squashed! All of these fixes and tweaks will make pretty much everything in the app run smoother and better with more efficiency. It means fewer bugs, crashes and hopefully more time for you to enjoy being a part of this cozy corner of the internet! Shoutout to each and every one of you who reported these bugs and errors, we couldn’t have done this without your feedback and help. It’s all thanks to you that we get to improve the experience for everyone else! That’s all for today! More exciting stuff dropping soon. Thank you for being a part of the coziest corner of the internet. We love having you with us on our journey. Stay hydrated, stay wholesome, We love you! - The Lettre team

Hello lovely people of the community! We hope this update finds you all in good health, wealth, and wisdom. This release brings several much-needed quality-of-life improvements, performance upgrades and bug fixes based on your reports and feedback. Lets find out what’s new! - BLOCKING: Many of you have been asking us for a “block” feature and it’s finally here. Now you can block someone from ever sending you a lettre ever in their lives. The option is available from both the Mailbox and the PenPal profile. Lettre has always been a self-moderating community made up of some of the kindest and most thoughtful people on the internet. We have relied on the “Report” feature so far to keep our space safe from hate, bigotry, and discrimination: we are proudly intolerant of intolerance. Your vigilance and care for one another make this community what it is and it’s thanks to that spirit that adding this feature made sense now. Please let us know what you think and how we can improve it further, we love hearing from you. - FRESH STAMPS!: We are dropping not one but TWO new stamp sets with this update! Go check out our Post Office and see for yourself! We bet they will impress - iOS 26 polishes: Following our last iOS 26 update, we’ve added new refinements and subtle touches throughout the app to make everything feel more coherent, fluid, and delightful to use - Sign-in/Sign-up bugs: We know some of you have run into pesky login and signup issues. This update addresses the majority of those, with additional safeguards to prevent future errors. If you continue experiencing problems, please use the “Report a Bug” or “Contact Us” options to reach out. Your feedback is a crucial part of our development cycle and thanks to your reports, we can improve the experience for everyone! - The usual suspects: General polish and squashing of bugs.

This update addresses a bunch of under-the-hood changes & fixes. Good news is, all of these fixes will make pretty much everything in the app run smoother and better with more efficiency.

Hello hello! Just here to quickly drop a small mid-week update for you all. Nothing fancy in this, just some under-the-hood stuff to make your experience smoother than before. Here are some of the “bigger” items for this update: - Tweaks to the Post Office: We got a little tired of the Poster we had for the Pippin Supporters Club, so we replaced it with a fresh new poster! - Notification bugs: Fixed an issue where the notification badge count on the iOS homescreen wouldn’t update correctly. - Misc improvements: We took care of some bugs and crashes here and there; things are a lot more stable and faster than last week. That’s about it, for now. Will see you all again soon in the coming weeks, hopefully with a bigger update than this. As always, thank you for writing, sharing and building this weird little world with us. Also, super-thanks to all the people who decided to support us by becoming members of the Pippin Supporters Club, we get to do what we do thanks to you! Love you all, The Lettre team

Hello lovelies! We are dropping another update this week addressing some very hot and pressing issues. Let’s get to it! - Say hi to Dexter: Our newest member of Pippin’s Park Buddies is now available as a fresh set of avatars! Dress up your PenPal profile in style. - Onboarding, unblocked (for good we hope): We fixed a pesky bug where some folks got stuck in the PenPals onboarding at the “interests” step. You can now breeze through and start meeting new friends without detours. - Notifications behaving themselves: The notification permission prompt will now stop popping up every single time you open the app. (It was excited to see you, but we told it to calm down. It should be in its best behavior going forward) - Sign-in issues? We’ve got your back: If you ever run into trouble signing in, you can now email us straight from the error alert. This creates a support ticket and helps us help you: no login required. This should streamline reporting some of the “rare”er bugs so we can squash them faster and with more precision! Shout-out to each and every one of you who reported these bugs and errors, we couldn’t have done this without your feedback and help! That’s all for now friends and dear members of this cozy community. As always, thank you for writing, sharing and building this weird little world with us. Also, super-appreciation to all the people who decided to support us by becoming members of the Pippin Supporters Club, we get to do what we do thanks to you! Until next week, - The Lettre team (and Pippin & Park Buddies, obviously)

This one’s for all of you who’ve ever yelled at your screen mid-upload and sometimes when trying to turn the app on only to see you’ve been logged out. We heard you. - Smarter, smoother login system: We gave our sign-in logic a complete refresh. If all goes well (and they will; we hope), you'll notice fewer weird logouts and mysterious upload errors. Our overhauled system should be faster, better and more reliable than ever before! - Upload errors? Not anymore: A major tune-up under the hood to make your uploads more reliable and robust, especially during background launches and if you have flaky connections. - Other geeky things (you don’t need to worry about): We reworked some of the behind-the-scenes magic to make things faster, more secure and less error-prone. Includes the usual suspects -> bugs which have been squashed Shout-out and gratitude to each and every one of you who reported these bugs and errors, we couldn’t have done this without your feedback and help! Enjoy the peace of mind (and peace of sign-in). See you again soon! With love, The Lettre.app team

Hello lovelies! Good to be back again with another banger of an update. There’s a lot of ground to cover today so without wasting a moment more, let’s get to what’s new! - Frames for PenPal Avatars: Your PenPal profile just got an upgrade! Members of Pippin Supporters Club can now add frames (starting with a few, a lot more on the way) to show off some extra “schweg” on their PenPal profiles. Go try it out and let your PenPal avatars stand out better than before (without getting obnoxious) - Advanced Filters - City: Looking for PenPals a little closer to home (or just really into Parisian poets)? Introducing “City” Filters -> you can now filter your PenPals feed by Cities! Don’t worry, people who wish to remain anon will stay anon; we don’t snitch - Visual tweaks: Some subtle visual changes here and there; think cleaner layouts, italics where they actually belong and shiny new "Supporters Perks" badges to mark perks just for our beloved Pippin Supporters Club. Now it’s easier to spot what’s free and what’s supporter-exclusive. Everyone wins. - Better diagnostics: When using the “contact us” button (found towards the bottom of the Settings tab), now you can share better quality diagnostic information which will drastically improve how we discover and address bugs / errors in the future. Huge thanks to everyone who’s ever reported a bug; seriously, you’re helping us build something better for everyone. Keep ‘em coming. We’re listening and constantly improving the app. - BUGS BUGS BUGS: This has to be (by far) the largest collection of bug fixes we have put in one update. From log-in issues to getting logged out issues, this update brings fixes for some of the more annoying bugs we have come across since last update. IYKYK - New drops: Psst… we’ve got a bunch of (free) new stickers rolling out over the next few weeks! Check your sticker selector, you might spot some fresh surprises! All on the house, because we love spoiling you That covers most of the bigger / more important stuff. The other stuff are boring math stuff (some of which even the person writing this does not fully understand). With all that said, hoping to see you all again in the next update! Thank you, each and every one of you for being a part of the coziest corner of the internet & special thanks to all the members of the Pippin Supporters Club for keeping the lights on at the Lettre HQ. It's because of you we get to be independent and everyone gets to enjoy something nice We love you! — Team Lettre

We’ve added new filters to help you find your perfect connection while reading Lettres on the PenPals feed. We are adding a lot more options over the next few updates. Members of Pippin Supporters Club will enjoy more flexibility and precision in finding their perfect PenPal lettres! That’s all for now friends and dear members of this cozy community. As always, thank you for writing, sharing and building this weird little world with us. Until next week, We love you, The Lettre team (and Pippin & Park Buddies, obviously)

Hello lovelies! Thrice in one week?! Our kickstarter campaign and ProductHunt win has certainly lit a fire in us. We secured the top #4 spot as a Product Of the Day last week and got our first lifetime membership pledge on our kickstarter; but enough celebrating, lets’ get to what’s new: (please read the last few release notes for more details on recent changes, ty!) - Performance improvements across the board: We tightened some screws and applied some elbow grease around the entire platform. Everything should feel better and work smoother (than last week) - The usual suspecst: Bugs and crashes, big and small - all gone (so far) Please use the “contact us” button found at the bottom of the “settings” tab to directly reach us if you have any feedback, questions, issues or simply any interesting ideas you would like to share with us. We love hearing from you. That’s it for this leg but we are still cooking! More stuff dropping soon We love you, The lettre team.

Hey there! Twice in one week? Good things take time and this leg of updates have been some of the bigger stuff we have put out recently. Consider this a “hotfix” for the last update we put out earlier this week (will copy-paste some items from 2.3.3 on this release note). Let’s find out what’s new: - Be a part of Lettre history: We are live on Kickstarter! This month’s feature card at the Post Office features our first attempt at making Lettre free forever. Like you, we hate intrusive ads. We refuse to sell user data. And we won’t let corporate sponsors dictate what we build. We started Lettre as a small group of friends who love letters, technology and collectibles - and we want to build it with all the nice-stuff we have seen across spaces we love ourselves, independent, and truly free. Instead of being backed by investors who’d push us to compromise, we’d rather be backed by something far stronger: you, our community. One of our pledge rewards is lifetime membership/access to everything - go score! - Navigation overhaul (iPhone): This update brings huge usability changes to our iPhone version. Things are more “mobile friendly” with tabs at the bottom, better than before for sure. Let us know what you think! - New set of stationery: Gothic Coffee Break is a dark-themed stationery set of 7 papers and 4 envelopes - made for thinkers, writers and midnight letter-lovers. With its inky black textures and soft-grain details, this set invites you to slow down, brew something strong and write like the world’s gone quiet. Now available at the Post Office - New pack of stamps!: Fresh drop this month from…. come find out yourself! We are sure you will love this set of 6 hand-made pieces of art - now available (feature coming soon)! - Post Office makeover (iPhone): Our mobile version of the Post Office got a visual overhaul! Things look and feel nicer than before. Stuff just makes more sense now (unlike before) - New stamps in rotation for Pippin Supporters Club: Fresh exclusive stamps have entered the free weekly stamp rotation for members of Pippin Supporters Club. Our way of always trying to say thanks for all the support and love! We are also working on dropping some exclusive bling just for you folks (soon). For now, enjoy these new free stamps! - Combined Mailbox: We have made it simpler to manage your inbox and outbox - now its one box - the Mailbox. This little change takes us one step closer to Threaded Conversations, something we have been cooking for a while; to make life easier in keeping track of your conversations. - The usual suspects: Bugs and crashes, big and small → all gone (for now) That's all for today, see you next week! Till then, thank you for being with us, We love you!

Hello beautiful members of our community, we are here today with another update! Even though this update took longer than the others so far, we think this wait is going to be worth it (we are still cooking)! Let’s jump into what’s new: - A new way to write: Lettre (on the iPad) now has full keyboard support! For the folks in the back - no pencil, no problem! Now you can “type” your lettres instead of using your fingers for (hopefully) a better experience. Just a heads up, this feature is still in its experimental phase and might come with some quirks and kinks. Please use the "contact us" button to let us know if you come across any issues or have any feedback to share, we love hearing from you. - Better social sharing: We have added some nice tweaks and upgrades to our web URL which is used to share Lettres on other socials. Check it out and let us know what you think! Sharing a PenPal lettre you like is now easier and looks nicer than before - Upgraded PenPal profiles: Now you can upload your own display/profile picture to use as your PenPal Avatar (if you want to)! Some subtle changes can also be seen across the board making the profile button more useful. Also, Maverick enters the roster of available avatars for members of the Pippin Supporters Club! Now you can choose new variants depicting Maverick among the other Park Buddies inside your PenPal avatar options. Go put your best self out there - The usual suspects: Bugs and crashes, big and small, taken care of (for now). Better than we were last week That’s all for today folks! We have some big and exciting things dropping soon! In the meantime, let us cook Love you all, Stay hydrated and healthy. See you in the next one!

Hi there lovely folks! Another week another update for you all. This update is mostly under-the-hood stuff, a lot of them. Will spare you the details but here are some of the bigger items - iPhone stability: A lot of time was spent addressing bugs and stability issues after soft-launching a few weeks ago. Things are better now, more stable and less annoying than before. Includes fixes for (but not limited to) keyboard issues, sign up/log in issues, performance issues, UI issues, etc. This is still in its infancy and issues are still expected so please if you’re one of the cool folks using Lettre during this time, feel free to let us know what you think! From issues you’re facing to new ideas you think might be cool to have, we are always looking forward to hearing from you. Use the “contact us” button from the app to directly email us or reach out to us on our socials (check website for our discord/reddit and other socials) - New stamp pack!! - One of our fans love us so much that she made a pack of stamps appreciating the people she met here! Go check out Conshnobre’s “PenPal Inspirations” - a set of 8 unique stamps now available on our Post Office! - Fresh avatars! - Penny joins the club with some fresh avatars for your PenPal profiles! Flex your support for the team with Avatars from the Pippin’s Park Buddies collection(iykyk)! Your support keeps the community truly ad-free and our lights on - you all are the best buddies 5evr! - Change to “start conversation” in PenPals: No more extra taps to reply to a PenPal lettre after taking it to your inbox from the PenPal feed - Tapping “start conversation” from the PenPal feed will now directly take you to the compose screen (in reply mode), saving valuable time. Yes, the lettre you’re staring the conversation with will still be found in your inbox later but it’s more seamless now. Cleaner, leaner. - Social sharing upgrade: our "share" button is now more powerful than before. Share directly to Instagram stories with a full preview or other socials with a link which will take them to the lettre's full preview! Go try it out - when browsing through PenPal lettres on the feed, now you will see a “share lettre” button under the “save lettre” button. Go share your favorite PenPal lettres with the rest of the world! - The usual suspects: Small bugs, big bugs — gone (for now) These are some of the more major stuff among many minor tweaks here and there trying to make the experience better than our last update. We appreciate each and every one of you for your time, love and support (both emotional and financial) As always, We love you! See you next week PS: Make sure to stay hydrated

Hello lovelies! We took a little longer than usual with our “weekly” updates this time around but we promise it was worth it! No beating around the bush, lets get to it — - SHARING LETTRES ON OTHER SOCIALS - It’s only fair that others also get to enjoy the wonderful stuff you all keep creating on this platform. You can now SHARE your favorite PenPal lettres! When browsing through PenPal lettres on the feed, now you will see a “share lettre” button under the “save lettre” button. Go share your favorite PenPal lettres with the rest of the world! (no you cannot share private messages, duh!) - Soft-launching on iPhone(s) - Keep it hush hush (for now as we work to stabilize it in the coming weeks). We are releasing a public build of Lettre on iPhones and is now available for you to download and try under one condition - you will report bugs you encounter by using the “contact us” button (pretty please). It is still learning to walk and we all know it takes a village to raise an early version. So expect all the goodness of the iPad app, just smaller and maybe with a weird bug here and there. - PenPals feed gets an upgrade - From now on, Recently viewed lettres won't show up in your feed - taking space. This way, your feed will stay fresh, longer than before (hopefully always). But don’t worry, if you need to revisit a previously viewed lettre, Tap Profile avatar > Recently Viewed lettres. Besides, if you really like a lettre, you can save it and if you REALLY like like a lettre, just start a conversation already! You miss all the shots you don’t take - Some changes to PenPal interactions - We take safety very seriously and are implementing some tweaks in how people under the age of 16 interacts with the PenPal feature. We lowered the required age limit for using the Penpals feature from 16 to 13 BUT people aged 13-17 will get an experience different from the rest. ie, People under the age of 17 will be able to see PenPal lettres sent by people in the same age group. People above 18 will see everything else. This should create a nicer and safer age barrier between the younger members of the community while also improving the overall quality of PenPal lettres the older members will be seeing from now on. Phew, that was a long long read. Good news, that’s about it for this update. Please let us know what you think - we are all ears , always From our collective heart, thank you! Keep spreading love, creativity, and good vibes! As always, We Love You!

Flex your support for the team with Avatars from Pippin’s Park Buddies (iykyk)!
