Parella: You & Me for couples

About Parella: You & Me for couples

Ratings & reviews

• The app is now called Parella and has a new icon — Clay and Sage, the characters from the stickers. Your data and your couple are all still there, and there’s no need to sign in again. • A new game — “Stories”: short stories for two where each of you chooses on your own phone, and the choices are revealed once both are made. It’s in “Ours” → “All games”. • Clay and Sage are now in the app itself: on section icons, in place of initials on avatars without a photo, and wherever things are still empty — a new chat, lists and wishlists. They also wait for your partner with you and show up when there’s no connection. • Clay and Sage now show your mood: five of their faces instead of emoji — on the home screen and on the “Mood history” screen. Your mood shows on your character’s face, your partner’s on theirs. • Tic-tac-toe for two is in “Ours” → “All games”: take turns, each on your own phone, and your move waits for your partner even when the app is closed. • Tasks can now repeat every day, every week or every month — edit a task, “More” → “Repeat”. When you tick one off, it moves to “Done” and the same task takes its place for next time. • All photos, voice messages and clips from the chat are now on one screen, by month: a photo opens full screen, a voice message plays right in the list. It’s under the paperclip: “All photos, voice messages and clips”. • Home screen widgets now follow the app’s theme: if you’ve picked dark or light in the app, the widgets match it, even when your phone uses the other one. The “Together” widget shows mood faces — yours and your partner’s. • Home screen widgets now match the app’s colour. To pick a colour: Settings → Look and home → Colour. • Confirm your email to get three chat stickers from Clay and Sage. They’ll appear at the end of the sticker panel. • You can now arrange your loyalty cards: press and hold a card, then drag it. The order is shared, so your partner sees it too. If your partner’s app is older, the cards stay as they were on their phone. • Secret answers now has twice as many of its usual questions — a hundred and twenty. New questions come mixed in with the earlier ones, and those you’ve already answered won’t come up again. • A sent photo of the day now goes into the album together with its caption. You can also fix your caption after sending — just tap the words on the home screen. • If a photo doesn’t load because of a server hiccup, the app tries a few more times on its own, and again when you come back to it. Photos, voice messages and clips the server didn’t accept go out again after a few seconds. If that fails too, your shot and caption stay put — just tap “Retry”. • If you’ve already seen a message, reaction or event in the app, you won’t get a notification about it afterwards. • Emails about news and offers come only if you’ve agreed to them: with the tick box when you sign up, or the “Emails from Parella” row in Settings → Notifications. They’re off by default. • The “Year together” picture and the game result card now end with the Parella mark and name instead of a link. • In the wishlist, “Came true” and “Gifted” can be undone right away with “Undo”. • On iPhone with iOS 27, the dark theme no longer has a light band at the top of the screen. • The calendar is simpler: in the event form, category and attachments are now under “More”, and “Repeat” is a single row, like “When”. • The chat now shows when your partner is in the app: a ring around their photo and “in the app” under their name. The mark works only when both of you have turned it on: Settings → Data and account → Data and security, the “Partner in the app” card. It is off by default, and the app keeps no history of visits.
