POST EFFECTS, NOW WITH AN ENTRANCE
Post effects only show on the post you're looking at, and each one plays its own little "activating" animation when it appears — fire spreading out, ribbons unrolling, snow starting to fall and more.
GOLDEN TICKET
A new prize at the arcade prize counter: golden tickets raining down over your post with a soft golden glow. 5,000 tickets, available all year.
Plus: see your own post's effect when you open it from your profile, a much more detailed Christmas tree, cleaner fire and string-light effects, and the 3x badge no longer covers the video icon.

THE GARAGE
The Tokyo Grift border got a full rebuild - a slim blue coupe drifting twice as fast, with flames pouring straight off its rear tires.
THE CROWN
The #1 Grifter crown is now a real crown - cartoony, shiny, and wrapped around the top of your picture with a big blue #1.
NEW BORDERS
Two secret Blokes of Ill Repute borders joined the vault - one hand-made, one with a living, breathing nebula. If you know, you know.
DUELS
Clearer rules everywhere: the winner takes the pot times 1.5, the loser keeps half of what they earned - and forfeiting now pays out the same way instead of leaving you with nothing.
GRIFTED!
Fresh prank sounds: bonk, zap, vine boom, the banana slip, and more.
2.5.0
2026-07-17
Welcome to THE GRIFT ARCADE.
The back room got a makeover: step through the neon door and spend your daily tokens on three arcade games — spin the PRIZE WHEEL (swipe to launch it!), go heads-up with GR-1FT in 21 SHOWDOWN, and test your timing in STOP THE LIGHT. Win tickets, trade them at the Prize Counter for Grift Score and exclusive profile borders. No wagering, ever — every play only adds tickets.
Also new: a fresh neon app icon (the old ones are still in Settings), better reporting tools, and a pile of polish.
2.2.0
2026-06-25
New in 2.2.0:
• Push notifications — get pinged for likes, comments, replies, and new posts from creators you follow
• A fully randomized feed — no more clumping by account
• Grift DUELs — challenge someone to a 3-day head-to-head where every bit of score you both earn feeds a shared pot, and the bigger gainer takes it all
• Grift streaks — a glowing gold day-count next to your name
• Triple-score windows — a daily timed event for 3x score on your next post
• Threaded comment replies
• Smoother posting with a clearer upload progress bar
1.2.4
2026-05-11
• New: block accounts — tap the small hand icon next to Follow on any post, or use the ‘Block’ option in the user’s profile menu. Blocked accounts disappear from your feed in both directions
• New: Grift Score — a per-user engagement metric (likes + posts × 5) shown on profiles, in the post header, and on the Top Grifters leaderboard
• New: Settings → “Swipe to react” toggle (off by default). When on, swipe right to like and swipe left to dislike, with the previous animation. Otherwise swipes just advance the feed and reactions are tap-only
• Fixed a bug where rapidly toggling between like and dislike could make the counts drift out of sync
• Fixed the photo carousel showing the wrong photo on cards with more than two photos
• Profile photo uploads now surface an alert when they fail instead of failing silently, and other users’ profiles refresh from the server when opened so a stale avatar can’t linger
• Video posts are now capped at 1 minute (was 2) for faster, more reliable uploads
• The post header is now opaque with rounded corners so the name, handle, and Grift Score are always readable
