  • Dev here—just jumping in to mention that we had to remove the long press gesture for iOS 26 because of the new system tab bar gesture to drag the bubble around. We put considerable time towards finding a way to keep it or implement a suitable replacement, but did not find any good approaches and ultimately had to remove it and rely solely on the existing swipe up gesture. Our apologies for the inconvenience.



























  • We’re definitely still refining how we use the new design language, and we’ve played around with some iterations on that concept. The core challenge right now is retaining compatibility with iOS 18, which limits which new features we can use. For small components like the jump button it’s pretty easy to support both an iOS 18 and an iOS 26 version, but the tab bar is foundational to the whole app’s architecture so we probably won’t get to utilize the full extent of the new tab bar options until we drop support for iOS 18.
