Text selection on iPhone 13 is finally clean. The system was briefly expanding your selection to the whole paragraph the moment you lifted your finger, causing a flash of full-paragraph highlight. Now your selection follows your finger during the drag and stays put when you release — exactly what you drew.
Early Access Mode is rolling out — when it's on, anyone can sign up just by entering their email (no referral code or invite needed), and the login screen simplifies to a single email field. When it's off (the default), the existing referral/invite-only registration stays in place. Also fixed a bug where OTP emails weren't sent because the email subscriber creation could silently fail.
Another refinement to text selection on iPhone 13 — the previous update still flashed a full-paragraph highlight in the moment you lifted your finger. The release handling was adjusted so the system-level selection is cleared cleanly, leaving only our own highlight on screen.
Text selection during onboarding now works on older phones (iPhone 13, older Android/Xiaomi, Firefox) — previously it would select entire paragraphs with no highlight bubble. The readers tab badge on the home screen no longer shows all the time when you have a match — instead, tapping the disabled button briefly flashes the badge. In the chat manuscript overlay, there are now left/right arrows in the header so you don't have to swipe to switch between manuscripts. The match timer stick figures no longer overlap when they meet — they stop side by side with the joined heart between them, and the figures got a visual polish (curved limbs, filled hearts).
Six small fixes after last update. The hearts on the match timer stick figures were mirrored — now they face inward and form a complete heart when figures meet. Figures start further apart and move faster at first, slowing down as they get close. The language toggle is now the same size as other toggles on the settings page. Swiping between manuscripts in chat works again. Matched partner manuscripts in chat are fully unblurred. The "Likes are on pause" badge no longer shows on the home screen — it only appears when you open the Readers tab.
Five improvements in one drop. The language switcher is now a compact `en | ру` toggle. The match timer animation no longer has hearts overlapping stick figures — at 12 hours remaining the hearts join into one, and when the timer ends the heart pulses. Matched users now see each other's full manuscripts regardless of subscription tier. In chat, tapping the manuscript icon opens a swipeable overlay — page one shows their manuscript with your highlights, swipe right to see yours with theirs. If your match messages you while you're offline, you'll get a single email after 5 minutes of inactivity instead of one per message.
