Reader grows up with stats, widgets and more sync services, iPhone Duo and iPad get a column layout, and your accounts now follow you to every device through iCloud.

NEW

  • Account sync: your accounts appear on your other devices through iCloud, most with one-tap sign-in.
  • Reader: connect Miniflux or Skyreader, and follow Tumblr blogs alongside RSS, Standard.site, Micro.blog and YouTube.
  • Reader Stats: see what you read, for how long, across all your devices.
  • Reader widgets: Articles, Unread and Cover for your Home Screen.
  • Reader: import your YouTube subscriptions from a Google Takeout file, and Load Full Article for feeds that only send an excerpt.
  • Reader: Mark as Read on Scroll, swipe or long-press a feed to mark it all read, and open Reader on the tab you choose.
  • Customize Navigation: choose the top-bar tab, reorder your tabs, and pick a bar style. The timeline's navigation bar can also hide as you scroll.
  • iPhone Duo and iPad: a Mac-style column layout, with more columns where they fit.
  • Apple Pencil Markup: draw on articles, posts and photos, then share or post the result.
  • Places: add a place to a Bluesky post, and see the places on other posts.
  • Mastodon 4.6 and 4.7: collections, Wrapstodon, hide an account's boosts, follow hashtags, and media with a poll.
  • Chat: Translate and More Reactions in the message menu, and a character counter for the message limit.
  • Video: lower other apps' audio instead of pausing it, as a setting.
  • The reply card shows the pronouns of the person you're replying to.

MAC

  • Arrow keys move between Reader articles, and ⇧⌘F loads the full article.
  • VoiceOver stops once per timeline post, with its actions in the rotor.
  • Chat follows new messages to the bottom.
  • The sidebar uses your theme's colors for its selection and icons.

IMPROVED

  • Author threads fold their replies in post detail.
  • Notifications are only marked seen when you're actually looking at them.
  • Scroll sync: coming back to the app follows a newer position from your other device.
  • Photo viewer: zoomed photos can use the whole screen, and photos open aligned.
  • Cross-posts that time out offer a retry, and a timed-out post can't be published twice.
  • Reader settings, Hide Shorts and your Micro.blog and Tumblr sign-ins sync through iCloud.
  • Miniflux and FreshRSS feeds keep several tags, and a tag opens at its newest unread article.
  • Reader OPML export includes Standard.site publications that have a feed.
  • Email Logs lets you pick Apple Mail or another app, or share logs as files.
  • iPhone Duo: you can drag images and link cards out to other apps.

FIXED

  • A timeline page that fails to load no longer stops the launch, and gaps get filled.
  • Fixed a crash when opening Settings and a crash when tapping links on iPhone Duo.
  • Tapping a post while the list is still scrolling no longer opens it by accident.
  • The chat field clears properly after sending.
  • The composer stays open when you unfold an iPhone Duo.
  • Drafts show for the account you're posting as, not the active one.
  • Many small bug fixes, layout improvements, and much more.
