V32: fixed some bugs related to sign up :)

V30 Update Hey guys! I just updated the girl avatar's facial expressions based on some of your feedback. For now, I only updated the girl avatar so we can test it out. If you all like the new look, I'll go ahead and update the boy avatars too. I also improved the app's security and fixed a few bugs. If you notice anything that's broken or doesn't look right, DM me on Instagram. Enjoy!

V30: unlock a 4th world with a one-time purchase. Fixed reactions in worlds with more than two people — reacting to one person no longer resets someone else back to "waiting." Stability and reliability improvements.

V29: in this version you guys can now increase your world limit from 3 to 4 worlds. ENJOY!!

V28: I had to fix some bugs related to sharing images and links from other apps like instagram, ticktok and YouTube. ENJOY !

Share straight into your worlds. You can now send photos and links to your worlds right from the Share menu in other apps — no need to open whomatters first. Share a photo from Photos and it drops into the world's feed, or share a TikTok, YouTube, or any link and it posts to the chat as a clean, tappable preview. Picking a link even opens a familiar message-style screen so you can add a note before you send. Plus a handful of polish and stability improvements.

V26: This update makes chat feel more like home message bubbles and text are now bigger and easier to read, with cleaner, more consistent spacing. We also refreshed the in-app "How to Use" guide so the steps match the latest gestures (pin to save, hold-and-release to delete, and tapping a friend's avatar to react to their emotion). Plus general polish and stability fixes throughout.

V25: in this version I made the avatars now able to send emotions and also receive an indicator from the emotions that they sent. I have no idea what im saying I just tired to sound professional anyways enjoy y'all. also open the camera too I changed that.

V24: In this version I fixed some bugs related to manual world clearing and made some changes to that camera layout per request from Javi my guy

V23: in this version I have integrated deep links when you click on a notification popup. and also integrated FT in the flow also.

V22: in this new update you guys can now control when the world resets

changed how users join worlds. instead of typing in usernames user now only have to type in a code.

This version I updated the emotion avatars display to be more useable and noticeably.

The app is now called whomatters! We've also refreshed the Settings page to make it cleaner and easier to navigate.

users was experiencing a bug where they would get the wrong world when creating a world and it would be mislabeled so I fixed that by being more strict as to what happens when worlds are created.

Updated the Settings page with a prominent Instagram DM button at the top — clean gradient design, icon, and bold handle — plus a friendly "DM me if there's any problems or you have any ideas" prompt to make it easier to reach out with feedback or report issues. Also includes general bug fixes and stability improvements.

This version makes the first-time experience way clearer: a bigger pulsing button on the empty home screen tells you exactly what to do, the create-world popup uses friendlier wording ("Name this space", "Add up to 3 people"), and the in-world tutorial now actually runs guiding you to upload a photo via a big centered camera button, then save it with a long-press, then double-tap to send it to chat, and finally tap your avatar to change its emotion before swiping back. Behind the scenes, the tutorial only advances on your own real upload (dismissing the picker keeps you on the same step), your photo gets pinned to the top during the save/tap step so the prompts line up with the right image, and the save badge changed from a heart to a pushpin so it reads as "saved" instead of "liked."

What's New in 2.0.6 Chat - Bigger, easier-to-read message text. - Messages sent back-to-back from the same person now group tightly together with a single avatar — same way iMessage does it. - Sender's name now appears above the first message of each new run so you always know who's talking. - Translucent chat header — messages scroll under it for a cleaner look. - Swipe down on the input bar to dismiss the keyboard. Creating a world - Add up to three friends per world (was two). - Inputs auto-focus when popups open — no extra tap to start typing. - Tap Next on the keyboard to jump between fields. - Cleaner labels and shorter, friendlier error messages. - New Share link button if a friend isn't on the app yet — copies the App Store link with one tap. - A little confetti burst when your world is created.

all I did was update the logo thats about it.

Added a home-screen icon badge that shows a count of unseen messages and unseen photos across all of the user's worlds. On first launch of this version, the user is prompted to allow notifications; the badge only updates if permission is granted. The badge updates via silent push notifications while the app is closed and clears automatically when the user opens the relevant world. Also includes a new app icon design.

Added a one-time onboarding tutorial for new users. When a new user opens their first world: 1. Camera pulse — "Add a pic for pookie" with a gentle heartbeat animation on the camera button 2. Image pulse — After upload, the image pulses with "tap hold and release", then "now double tap it fast" 3. Avatar pulse — In chat, the user's avatar pulses with "Tap your mini-you to change your emotion" 4. Exit prompt — "Swipe right to go back" shown above the input section

Fixed an issue where your world's feed could accidentally reset on the same day, causing uploaded photos and messages to disappear. Improved overall app stability and reliability. Updated world creation experience with a new way to invite friends to the app.

When you tap the camera icon now, instead of going straight to the photo library, a small dialog pops up with two options: - Take Photo — opens your camera directly, take one shot, it uploads automatically - Choose from Library — exact same gallery/multi-select flow as before, nothing changed there Once you pick a source, the compress → upload → Firestore flow is identical for both paths. The dialog matches the app's existing style (white, rounded, black-outlined buttons).
