We’ve made connection feel even more connected. • You can now like and reply to comments - making conversations feel more natural and layered • See friends of friends to discover people you already have context with • Smoother friend search and requests • Fixed an issue where signing in with “Hide My Email” could block access to the app; these users can now complete sign-up and log in as expected. Small changes. Deeper connection.
