This update adds notifications support to the app. Notifications will need to be enabled on a per-account basis to reduce the amount of unnecessary API calls. You can find notifications & their per-account settings in Settings > Notifications. By default notifications are disabled.

When notifications are enabled, you will get notified of any unread DMs, mentions or replies to your posts. In addition, if you are an admin or mod, you will also get notified of reports.

Like previous updates, this update also adds a lot of quality of life improvements such as better video support and bug fixes. See the full change log for details.

Due to notifications being a big change, this release will be rolled out slowly over the next two days to reduce the impact of bugs on users.

Full change log

  • Added notifications as an optional feature to the app. This feature is off by default. To enable, go to Settings > Notifications.
  • Added support for RedGifs.
  • Added more options in the built-in video player.
  • Changed the comment screen to auto focus the input field when first shown.
  • Fixed an issue where custom comment gesture actions where not being applied.
  • Fixed a regression with screenshot mode where post actions are not hidden when in screenshot mode.
  • Fixed some inconsistent scrolling behavior throughout the app.

Update

Rollout complete. There is one minor bug found but it was very minor so I will punt for next update. The bug is, if you tap on a notification, it will take you to the message in your inbox, however when you go back (to your inbox) the message looks like its not read yet. This is a client side bug only; the message is correctly marked as read on the server.

Update 2

There is a very minor update for the Github release to fix a crash that is only present in the Github release (there was some code that had undefined behavior so the Github and PlayStore versions had different behavior despite being compiled from the same code). Thus the Github release is v1.29.1.

One other question I had. From where did you install the update? The play store or the github page?
