Hornet then replaces your content with a neutral visual stating Hornet’s policy on screenshots, denying any user the ability to pull your images on the app, making for a more relaxed user experience.

Hey guys! We're thrilled to bring you our next major version, Version 6, thats full of exciting new features to help you connect to your community and be your authentic self. Here's what's new:
• An all new, redesigned profile
The new profile on Hornet is designed to amplify the parts of ourselves we choose to share in order to help us all connect to our community, and the people who make it, in stronger and more meaningful ways than ever before. We've also added more information to profiles, like when he joined Hornet, to help you find the most genuine guys
• A streamlined and redesigned edit profile
We couldn't update profiles and not improve editing your own profile. So we've made it easier to manage your digital persona on Hornet. From improved photo management to a longer about you and new fields like location and more, all brought together with a new streamlined interface, you can say it louder, and say it prouder.
• Introducing, The Hornet Badge
A first-of-its-kind way to easily recognize the most genuine profiles on Hornet. You earn your Hornet Badge simply by doing the things you already do everyday: sharing moments of your life to your followers, discussing stories with guys from around the world, and making your profile a rich portrait of who you are. So when you see a guys profile with the Hornet Badge, you can be sure that he, too, is an authentic and active member of our community.
• A state of the art inbox
Chat is at the heart of Hornet; it’s one of the most important ways we make connections. And with such a vibrant and diverse community, our inboxes can quickly become full with all kinds of conversations from all manners of guys. It can be easy to lose track of an important conversation.
Our new inbox makes it easier to focus on the conversations that matter most. Your primary inbox is the home of your active conversations, and the chats that you’ve started. We also show new chats from guys with their Hornet Badge in your primary inbox, too. Your requests inbox is where messages from guys who want to chat with you, but who you may never have interacted with before, live. When you respond to a message in your requests inbox, it automatically jumps over to your primary so that you can keep the conversation going easily.
• An everlasting commitment to your security
As the premier social network of the gay community, and the home of authentic self expression and meaningful connection, we take safeguarding the app and all who use it extremely seriously. The new Hornet Badge is yet another dimension in our ever improving system to help keep those who would do us harm away, and make Hornet a safe space for guys in every corner of the globe.
So no matter where you are in the world, no matter the time of day, you can join in the fun and fabulousness of the gay community with peace of mind.
We continue to work hard to make Hornet the best app to connect to your community, and your feedback is a critical part in helping us shape the future of the app. If you'd like to share your thoughts or ideas with us, please email product@hornet.com, or reach out to our support team.
We hope that you love this exciting new version and all its awesome new features.

• Introducing, The Hornet Badge
A first-of-its-kind way to easily recognize the most genuine profiles on Hornet. You earn your Hornet Badge simply by doing the things you already do everyday: sharing moments of your life to your followers, discussing stories with guys from around the world, and making your profile a rich portrait of who you are. So when you see a guys profile with the Hornet Badge, you can be sure that he, too, is an authentic and active member of our community.

Chat is at the heart of Hornet; it’s one of the most important ways we make connections. And with such a vibrant and diverse community, our inboxes can quickly become full with all kinds of conversations from all manners of guys. It can be easy to lose track of an important conversation.
Our new inbox makes it easier to focus on the conversations that matter most. Your primary inbox is the home of your active conversations, and the chats that you’ve started. We also show new chats from guys with their Hornet Badge in your primary inbox, too. Your requests inbox is where messages from guys who want to chat with you, but who you may never have interacted with before, live. When you respond to a message in your requests inbox, it automatically jumps over to your primary so that you can keep the conversation going easily.
• An everlasting commitment to your security
As the premier social network of the gay community, and the home of authentic self expression and meaningful connection, we take safeguarding the app and all who use it extremely seriously. The new Hornet Badge is yet another dimension in our ever improving system to help keep those who would do us harm away, and make Hornet a safe space for guys in every corner of the globe.
So no matter where you are in the world, no matter the time of day, you can join in the fun and fabulousness of the gay community with peace of mind.
We continue to work hard to make Hornet the best app to connect to your community, and your feedback is a critical part in helping us shape the future of the app. If you'd like to share your thoughts or ideas with us, please email product@hornet.com, or reach out to our support team.
