🛠️ App Improvements
- 🗂️🎙️ Unveiled one of Rune’s biggest upgrades—rooms can now be minimized, so you can explore the app while staying in voice or game chat!
- Redesigned the group member invite flow with a cleaner share section and simpler UI—making it way easier to add friends which drove a big spike in usage 🚀👥
- 🔍 Added smart friend suggestions to the group add members screen, complete with a red badge for visibility and a new full-screen search experience.
- Launched a new Group Details header—admins can now edit the name and emoji directly, complete with new call/play buttons, member suggestions and cleaner admin tools! 📝
- Improved handling of ending realm calls early when the caller leaves by using updated room state to exit cleanly if no one has accepted yet 📞👤
- Switched to a new user status system with smarter, screen-specific pollers and push updates— keeping presence info and joinable room data accurate and up to date 💬
🪲Bug Fixes
- Polished up the minimized rooms release by fixing orientation flips on Android and smoothing out mute button behavior 🔧
- Disabled experimental layout animations on Android to help prevent an app crash, then reenabled when it didn’t seem to decrease crash rate 📱
- Prevented layout animations for react-native-screens on Android to prevent app crashes 🚫
- Deactivated the back button inside rooms to prevent issues with minimizing rooms! 🔒
- Resolved an issue where the mute button was incorrectly disabled by resetting its logic at the start and end of rooms 🎤🔁
- 👾 Addressed a race condition causing gremlins if a new token was requested right after logout and the user logged in again immediately!
- Turned off RTL (right-to-left) support to help reduce crashes tied to orientation changes in React Native.
- 🧼 Polished the group details screen with better spacing, member counts in the header, and clearer Add Members search results!
- Added a missed translation for the "Owner" group status on the Add Groupmate screen to improve clarity across languages 🌍
- Made layout tweaks to the Group Detail screen—added a crown icon for the group owner and centered names when there's no subtitle 👑📐
- Adjusted app user row layout to center properly and use consistent group status translations 🧩
- Consolidated joinable room icons across the friends list and members pane—now you’ll just see one clean, unified tile when a room is joinable 🎮
- 🔓 Fixed an issue where unlocking a room cleared other users’ room info in stories and the member pane—now only the correct room gets updated!
- Fixed Realm-Call notifications to show correct user names by waiting for language to load and removing localization 🗣️
- Handled a null object case to prevent a long-standing crash related to voice chat messages 🎙️🛡️
- Prevented navigation to messages after being unfriended by updating the member pane popup to properly handle removed friends.
- 🎯👆 Fixed the add members icon so tapping it now works as expected—no more dead button!
- Made the entire delete account screen scrollable so everything stays readable on shorter devices.
