feature friday

happy happy friday! this week is mostly fixes, and good ones. chat memory is sturdier and following search actually respects who you follow.

character scenarios - we've gone back to a single private scenario field and removed the multi-scenario controls. private character details also no longer get copied into public group chat descriptions

character release dates - character gallery pages now show their release date

genius and muse genius are sunsetting - both are marked as such now so nobody gets caught off guard later

chat memory - memory you've edited by hand holds up much better when you regenerate, edit, or delete messages. updating memory that's already current also stopped reporting an error

following search - following searches now return results from creators you actually follow

packs - browsing packs and opening previews both load better, with video thumbnails and covers repaired

ios composer - the collapsed input was failing to open the keyboard or sitting behind it. both fixed!

a few of these changes are still making their way out, so if one hasn't reached your account yet, give it a bit.

we've seen some confusion here, so to clear things up: we run a/b tests, meaning some accounts get a feature while others don't, on purpose. if someone has something you can't find on your account, that's usually why and it isn't a bug. right now, we're testing:

story choices - eligible accounts get off, prefill, and send options. prefill lets you edit a suggestion before sending it. we're also working on missing and repetitive suggestions

explore ranking - some accounts see a trending sort testing different recommendations. popular's daily, weekly, and monthly ordering stays separate, and trending won't appear for everyone

homepage video packs - some visitors see a new video pack section with playable previews

prime references - eligible accounts can add image, video, and voice references to prime video generations

sunsetting models - genius and muse genius won't be appearing for most new users as we sunset the models

as always, keep the feedback coming! have a happy weekend!
