The major update introduces security and social features alongside layout adjustments for large-screen devices. As the release is recent and lacks sufficient window analysis data, the impact remains neutral. Future assessments will focus on the stability of the new authentication flows and the reception of social profile updates.

Chats and groups side by side on foldables and tablets.
Two-factor now protects your messages and settings wherever someone signs in.
New sign-in alerts for browsers and other apps, with a way to sign them out.
Profiles show friend counts and the friends you have in common.
Videos no longer carry where they were filmed.
Panic Mode can alert your Trusted Circle only when you choose.
Plus fixes to chats, sign-in alerts, reporting photos and more.

## 1.5.0+49, 2026-09-24

### New
Your profile has a Gallery, for photos you want to keep without posting them, and new tabs: All, Posts, Photos, Albums and Reels. Choose who sees each photo, blur what you'd rather hide, add a title and an image description, and let friends like, react, comment and tag. Pin favourites, search your photos, see your photos from this day in past years, and find every photo you're tagged in under Privacy.

Sort photos into albums, each with its own cover and audience. Share an album so friends add their photos too, or turn on a link so people without Luney can see it on the web. Everyone in a shared album can caption its photos and is told when someone screenshots it. The owner can let everyone save the photos, or pause new ones.

- Voice notes in DMs and group chats, up to 2 minutes. Your phone writes a transcript without sending your voice anywhere. Drag to any part, play at up to 2x, and search chats by what was said.
- Set a status: an emoji and a short line under your name, for friends or everyone, that clears itself when you choose.
- Take a break: pause notifications for an hour up to a week, show as offline and leave an away note. Safety alerts still come through.
- Daily time reminder: pick how much time a day is enough and get a heads-up when you pass it. It's counted on your phone only.
- Chat folders: sort your chats into your own folders.
- Schedule a post up to 60 days ahead. It goes out even if your phone is off.
- Hidden words: comments on your posts and photos that use words you list are hidden from everyone else.
- Limit new accounts: stop accounts less than a week old commenting or messaging you. Friends always can.
- Guestbook: friends leave a note on your profile, and you approve each one.
- Invite friends and get a thank-you code when they join and take part. Redeem codes from Luney events in Settings.
- Quiet hours can be different each day.

### Changed
- Download my data includes everything new in this update.
- Luney removes where a photo was taken from every photo before it uploads, and is cleaning older photos too.
- Group post drafts keep their photos.
- Reactions give the same light tap as a like.
- Any number of chats can come through during quiet hours.
- Tapping Joined on a group asks before you leave it.

### Fixed
- Messages with a button close on their own after a few seconds (they stay with a screen reader on).
- The switches for achievements, friendiversary cards and trusted circle requests now save.
