First off, a big thank you for your patience during this morning’s brief, scheduled maintenance! We appreciate your understanding as we continue making improvements to enhance your experience.

Here are some of the latest updates:

🔹 Hardened Blocks – Blocked users will no longer see you in Online Now, Last Online, or Member Search, and vice versa—unless searched by name. Users who have blocked you won’t appear on your blog feed, while those you’ve blocked will still appear unless you manually remove them by clicking the down arrow on their post and selecting 'Hide Blog'

🔹 HEIC Image Support – Uploading images just got easier! We now support HEIC image files, which means Android and iPhone users can upload photos directly without needing to convert them first.

🔹 Crypto Payments – We’ve added support for cryptocurrency payments, providing more flexibility for those who prefer alternative payment options.

🔹 Text Chat in Video Calls – Need to share a quick message while on a video call? You can now send text chats directly within video calls for a smoother communication experience.

🔹 Find Friends Update – We’ve adjusted our Find Friends search to prioritize Premium members, helping everyone discover and connect more easily.

As always, we’re committed to making the platform better for everyone. Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more updates!
