Original release notes

Our biggest update yet — new features, plus a big wave of fixes, improvements and polish, with extra care for older devices.

NEW FEATURES

• Automatic theme. Until now you could only pick Light or Dark by hand, and Artpic ignored your device's own setting. Now Artpic can follow your device automatically and switch the moment it does, even while the app is open. There are three options: Automatic (system default), Always light mode, and Always dark mode. Your current choice is kept; new installs start on Automatic.

• A branded launch animation. The app's smooth opening animation (the blue colour filling the screen) now shows the Artpic logo.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS

• Deleting posts is much faster. Deletes used to clear everything tied to a post one piece at a time, so the more followers you had, the longer you waited — up to around 20 seconds for large followings. Those long waits are gone: most deletions now finish in a few seconds or less, and deleting several in a row is near-instant. Deletion is also more thorough and safe to retry.

• Challenge streaks load instantly. Your streak used to be counted week by week over the internet, so a long streak took a while to appear and showed nothing in the meantime. It now loads in one go and shows up immediately.

• A big keyboard overhaul. Typing across the app is much smoother and more reliable now:
  - In chats and comments, the text box used to snap into place only after the keyboard fully slid in, and could end up half-hidden behind it. It now glides with the keyboard and sits neatly just above it.
  - Tapping a field could scroll to slightly the wrong spot, and dragging to scroll could jump or freeze. Fields now land in the right place, scrolling stays smooth, and you can tap straight from one field to the next.
  - Chats, comments, post descriptions and text posts had no word suggestions; predictive text now works in all of them.
  - The typing cursor and text-selection highlight were sometimes invisible in light mode; they are now clearly visible.
  - If the keyboard was open when a popup or loading screen appeared, it used to stay on top and could hide their buttons; it now closes on its own.
  - On some older iPhones, closing the keyboard in a chat or comment could briefly leave a second, frozen copy of the text box on screen — that double box is gone.
  - The area behind the keyboard's rounded corners — and…
