2.0.7
Feb 20, 2020
We’re rolling out some exciting new features that have been heavily requested — on this upgrade, you’ll find:
- Your favorite stories are easily shareable!
We’ve added a button on the bottom right corner of each story that will bring up a pop-up menu where you can choose where you’d like to share — send any story through email or share on your social media accounts. We’ll be rolling out some additional sharing features soon — keep on the lookout!
- Stories you’ve already heard will be marked as “played.”
If you’ve listened to it already, a small green checkmark will appear next to the story length.
- The ability to block sensitive content.
Head to your account settings, located at the top right corner of the homepage (where your initials are). You’ll see the switch to not show sensitive stories under the settings.
What are sensitive stories? These are stories that may include complex topics such as death, loss, familial challenges, and hard emotions.
We hope you enjoy these changes!
