NewHome
✨ New & improved
- Edit your Home screen like your phone’s. 🎉 Press and hold to enter edit mode, drag apps around with satisfying wiggle-and-react physics, drop one app onto another to make a folder, and tidy up with polished folder controls. Organizing your library finally feels like second nature. How it works.
- A long-press menu for every Home app — open, share, remove, and more from one context menu, with a cleaner flow for removing apps from Home.
- An empty Home is no longer empty — brand-new? Whip now suggests popular apps so your library starts with something to play.
- Smoother loading everywhere — polished loading screens for Home, the feed, and app details instead of blank screens.
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed rare crashes during app playback and a case where quickly editing the same app twice could show an “unable to save” error.
NewFeedGames
✨ New & improved
- Leaderboards. 🎉 Game-style apps can now keep a real high-score board — it tracks each player’s personal best, and Whip notifies you the moment someone beats your score. Bragging rights, formalized. How leaderboards work.
- Filter your feed by category — chips for Gaming, Entertainment, Sports & Fitness, and the rest now sit right in the feed, which also moved its tabs up into the header for more room to scroll.
- A redesigned Home library — new views for your collection: My Home (your custom order), Recently Played, Added, Alphabetical, By Creator, and By Category.
- Folders, properly — create folders exactly where you want them on Home, drag-and-drop friendly.
- See a remix’s story in the feed — tap into any remix to see what it was remixed from, with a link back to the original.
- Sharper app icons (better subjects, cleaner backgrounds) and a simpler, shorter onboarding flow.
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed the follow button state on suggested-creator cards and smoothed out chat screen transitions.
NewSearch
✨ New & improved
- Search and Explore, rebuilt — one smarter search across apps, builders, and categories, tag-aware matching, and a proper Explore landing experience. Finding your next favorite app got much easier. Take the tour.
- Highlight reels are ready sooner — they now start generating the moment your app finishes building, so they’re waiting for you at the publish screen.
- Sharing an already-published app skips straight to sharing — no redundant re-publish step.
- App of the Day now arrives for everyone at 10 AM local time, custom app icons now show in notifications, a heart animation plays when you like an app, and Instagram shares include a preview image.
🐛 Fixed
- Apps you haven’t opened in a while now wake up automatically instead of failing to load.
- Publishing right after an edit no longer races your autosave.
- Fixed handling of non-English characters in apps that save data.
NewBuilder
✨ New & improved
- Apps can connect to the internet. 🎉 Generated apps can now fetch live data — weather, currency rates, trivia, and more from a curated set of safe sources (with your consent). Live scores and real-time info, unlocked. What apps can do.
- Custom app icons everywhere on mobile — across the feed, profiles, chat, and launch screens.
- “Discover great creators” — a suggested-creators screen when you join Whip.
- A fairer App of the Day — now chosen by real engagement in recent windows, not just recency.
- Video support in feed cards, share links that open straight to the right app, and notification settings to control exactly what Whip tells you about.

🐛 Fixed
- Hardened the AI against jailbreak attempts and explicit-content tricks.
- Fixed email unsubscribe links and the re-subscribe flow.
- Fixed a crash when uploading multiple files with the same name, plus an iOS rendering glitch.
NewPublishing
✨ New & improved
- Custom-designed app icons. 🎉 Every app now gets a unique, art-directed icon made just for it — created when you build and when you publish. Generic icons, retired.
- Faster, more reliable highlight reels — generation is about twice as fast, handles graphics-heavy apps, and shows live capture progress.
- A notifications & email overhaul — weekly recap, trending, and feature-drop emails with an easy unsubscribe/resubscribe page.
- Reorder your highlight reel with drag-and-drop, share to Instagram via a new image viewer, browse a Remixes tab on app sheets, and see published dates on feed cards.
🐛 Fixed
- Failed edits no longer wipe your app’s description or icon, and a single failure no longer breaks the rest of your version history (we also repaired 90+ affected apps).
- Your feed now correctly reflects who you follow, thumbnails work for graphics-heavy apps, and a frozen “Capturing highlights” progress bar got unstuck.
- Privacy fix: making a version private could still expose its old comments — now fixed.
NewPublishingFeed
✨ New & improved
- Highlight reels for published apps. 🎉 Add a carousel of images and video to a published app — upload your own, or let Whip auto-capture highlights from your running app. It shows across the feed and app details. Meet highlight reels.
- No more duplicate apps in your feed — an app with several published versions now appears as a single card with its likes, saves, and comments combined.
- “People to follow” suggestions in your feed, suggested prompts to kickstart a new app, inline follow on feed cards, and smoother scrolling.
- Offline handling — a friendly no-network screen, and tapped actions now survive sign-in and navigation.
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed some apps failing to build due to generated-code issues, improved sign-in error handling, and made profile text easier to read.
NewSocial
✨ New & improved
- A Trending tab — a top-apps feed ranked purely by engagement, with its own tab. How the feed works.
- Browse a creator’s full published history — every public version, not just the latest.
- Fully-featured comments — likes, @-mentions, and image attachments, end-to-end. Comments on Whip.
- A bigger profile & social release — a Remixes tab, tappable follower/following counts that open a Follows list, and save/share/remix actions on long-press in Search.
- Smoother app viewing — no accidental zoom or bounce on iOS.
🐛 Fixed
- People who liked your app no longer show as “Deleted_User”, profile app counts are accurate, and remixing works again after a storage change.
NewPrivacy
✨ New & improved
- Up-front consent — before opening an app that uses AI chat or cloud storage, a clear sheet explains exactly what it uses. Consent, explained.
- Like comments and @-mention people in comments.
- A refreshed tab layout and the Whip logo in the header.
🐛 Fixed
- Apps no longer get stuck on the loading screen (consent-flow timing), comment like-states display correctly, and reinstalling no longer carries over the previous install’s analytics identity.
NewSocial
✨ New & improved
- Add images to comments.
- A “someone you follow published a new app” notification.
- Consent controls for AI features.
ImprovedSafety
✨ New & improved
- Stricter content moderation to better catch borderline content.

- Update prompts when a new version of Whip is available, social links in Settings, and copy unified to “Whip” throughout.
🐛 Fixed
- Privacy fix: fixed a bug that could mix up different users’ identities in analytics.
- Content moderation is now fail-safe — if the safety service is down, Whip holds the content instead of letting it through unscreened.
✨ New & improved
- Per-app permission consent. 🎉 Apps must now ask before using your location, camera, microphone, or motion sensors — and you can review and revoke these permissions anytime in Settings → Permissions. Built with safeguards so an app can’t impersonate a real system prompt. How permissions work.
- Whip 1.0 — the version that went out to the world.
- Clearer limits — hitting a build limit now shows a clear message, keeps your partial work, and lets you pick up where you left off.
- Remixed apps are now labeled, so you can tell remixes from originals.
- Cleaner app thumbnails, and Terms & Privacy links on the sign-in, Settings, and account-deletion screens.
🐛 Fixed
- Comment posting was failing about half the time in production — fixed.
- You’re no longer re-asked for permissions you already granted, and Android permission checks are reliable.

✨ New & improved

- A safer community — usernames, comments, and bios are now screened for inappropriate content.
- Per-app permission prompts with a native Allow/Deny dialog, a “Plays” tab on profiles, and better notification routing.
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed onboarding breaking for existing accounts after the date-of-birth change, and repaired broken share links.
NewAccount
✨ New & improved
- Stop a build in progress — cancel a generation anytime; your partial work is kept so you can pick it back up.
- Delete your account — a full self-serve flow with a 28-day grace period, email updates along the way, and your published apps preserved. How deletion works.
- In-app AI chat keeps rolling out — streaming, history, multiple sessions, and image upload inside your apps.
- Get notified when someone plays your app, rate Whip’s replies with a thumbs up/down, and manage blocked users from Settings.
- Better AI image generation — photo-to-painting, avatars, filters, and style transfer now reliably use real AI.
🐛 Fixed
- Apps no longer hang after finishing generating, builds no longer run out of memory on certain prompts, and active builds are protected during updates.
NewBuilder
✨ New & improved
- Apps can have their own built-in AI chat. 🎉 The apps you build can now include a real AI chat: streaming replies, multiple threads with history, image uploads, even AI image generation (“make that brighter”). Perfect for assistants, tutors, and story games. What apps can do.
- Play counts — see how many times an app has been played, right on its card. Fresh apps surface faster based on recent plays (your own plays don’t count toward your app).
- Daily “App of the Day” push notification, archived apps on profiles, smarter notification taps, and clearer attachment errors.
🐛 Fixed
- Builds are about 3.5× faster — fixed an issue that made every build re-download everything from scratch.
- Finished apps no longer occasionally show as “failed”, long active builds are no longer cut off, interrupted builds retry automatically, and build errors are clearer.
- Privacy: fixed an issue that mislocated users to the server’s region.

✨ New & improved
- More reliable generation — if one AI model struggles, Whip automatically retries and can fall back to another.
- Report and block on mobile — report apps, people, and comments. Reporting · Blocking.

🐛 Fixed

- More notifications — likes, comments, follows, save milestones, and a daily “App of the Day.”
- Archive apps you don’t want shown.
- Richer sharing and engagement — a share dialog, a tabbed Likes/Comments/Remixes sheet, a revamped Home, and an Explore screen with infinite scroll.
- Apps can show native pop-ups, and pinch-zoom is disabled for a more app-like feel.
🐛 Fixed
- Your own public apps now show in Explore, brand-new apps are no longer instantly buried, and “Anonymous” no longer appears for people with a username.
NewBuilder
✨ New & improved
- Apps can do far more — the building blocks available to generated apps jumped from 11 to 40: 3D, 2D, audio, math, visual effects, gestures, data visualization, and a dedicated game-building toolkit.
- The personalized “For You” feed with smarter ranking, people and apps in one search, and profile pages with follow/unfollow.
- Edit your profile end-to-end, a new settings section, and a bigger time budget for complex apps.
🐛 Fixed

NewDiscovery
✨ New & improved
- Automatic tags and categories for every app, to power better discovery.

- Push notifications — including “someone remixed your app.”
- Publish & share on mobile — a published screen with sharing, “open in Instagram,” and copy-link.
- Report inappropriate content, edit your profile, and much faster, cheaper edits.
🐛 Fixed
- Edits no longer build from an old version, and Android keyboard, chat scrolling, and search flows all got fixes.
NewBuilderSocial
✨ New & improved
- Add images and PDFs to your chat. 🎉 Upload files in the builder and the AI uses them in your app. Attachments stay with your app across edits. How attachments work.
- See the AI think in real time — the builder streams the AI’s thinking, actions, and build steps as they happen.
- Likes, comments, remixes, and saves — engage with apps you love.
- Search with typo tolerance (“calculater” still finds Calculator), app preview screenshots, shareable links you can revoke anytime, and higher build limits.
🐛 Fixed
- Apps that save numbers no longer crash, share links open the right app, and live build streaming no longer hangs.
NewBuilder
✨ New & improved
- Apps can save data. 🎉 Generated apps can now store and load real data — so trackers, journals, games, and notes actually remember your stuff.
- Smarter building — the AI can search the web while building to use up-to-date info.
- Block users — blocking makes you and the other person invisible to each other across search, feed, and profiles.
- Sign in with email or Apple, smarter content safety (fewer legitimate apps wrongly rejected), and self-healing generation that catches its own errors.
🐛 Fixed

NewBuilder

New
✨ New & improved
- Sign in on mobile and see your apps on the Home screen.
- A polished sign-in screen with a rotating welcome carousel.
✨ Whip comes to life
- Build an app just by describing it. 🎉 Type what you want, and Whip’s AI turns it into a real, working app — then keep refining it by chatting, remix it, publish it, and manage all your apps. This is the heart of Whip, working for the very first time.
- The Whip mobile app is born — the first version of the app you’ll use to create and manage everything.
- Automatic titles — each app gets a name generated from your description.
🐛 Fixed
- Very long titles are now neatly shortened instead of running off the screen.
