What’s new
Version 1.8.3 · Updated October 29, 2026
NEW - Timeline: option to open at the newest posts on a cold launch (Settings → Timeline → Load Top of Feed on Cold App Launch). Off by default, synced with iCloud. - Mac: Settings → Links & Integrations → Open External Links In... picks Default Browser, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and more, or In Skyscraper, which opens the page in the column you tapped it in. ⌘-click still opens a browser behind the app. - Settings: option to hide the "Your Last Week" banner. - Composer: @-mention suggestions rank people you follow first, and a banner shows when you're writing a Direct Message. - Shortcuts and Siri: App Intents now run in an extension, so they no longer launch the Mac app. - Mastodon: the composer uses your server's alt text limit. IMPROVED - Notifications: action text uses your accent color, with the type icon on the avatar's corner. - Settings: with Unified on, picking an account shows its settings instead of switching. - Unified: older Bluesky posts load 100 at a time. - Mac: Reader articles are lighter on big pages, timeline headers line up with the avatar, and Mastodon mentions and DMs open from Notifications. - Mac: uploading photos no longer renders them at double size, which could use huge amounts of memory. - Reader: Tags with nothing unread are hidden when Unread Only is on. - Browser hand-off encodes links correctly for Firefox, Brave and Opera. - Mastodon: link quotes resolve with several accounts signed in, and a rate-limited fetch keeps your hashtags and lists. - Add links to your Bluesky profile! FIXED - Typing a bare Mastodon username looks it up instead of failing. - Hashtags starting a line are no longer Markdown headings, and links drop trailing punctuation. - Code blocks, mixed image order, "1000.0K" counts, Chinese script names, searches with "+", and two-digit feed years now display correctly. - App-password sign-in ignores a leading @ and spaces, accepts "Https://", and defaults to bsky.social. - Push: tapped pushes open as their recipient; replies use the parent's thread root; mutes and blocks apply to the receiving account. - Widgets pinned to an account open that account's screens. - Chats close when you switch accounts, only one-to-one chats offer Delete and Block, and Mark All as Read on Mac leaves message requests alone. - Late results from a previous account (chats, notifications, profiles, search, moderation, trending) no longer appear after switching. - Likes, reposts, mutes, reports, threads, followers and list actions on another account's row use that row's account. - Signing out or switching mid-refresh can no longer overwrite a new session or sign as the wrong account. - Composer: closing a mention-only reply skips the draft prompt, kept photos survive picking more, and a server draft no longer deletes your open local draft. - Threadgate and postgate settings save for the right account and retry once. - Unsubscribed feeds no longer reappear after iCloud sync, and new feeds aren't dropped. - Reader: Mark All as Read marks are kept, and NewsBlur honours the cutoff. - Timestamps follow time zone changes, and the Year recap includes December 31. - Mastodon: signing out clears its push badge, and erased filter keywords are deleted. - A number of additional fixes I couldn't list here due to space constraints!
