We are gradually rolling out a new livestreaming feature in the Android and iOS apps. It’ll become available on web soon. One quick thing: If you’re using the iOS app and you have access to Tumblr Live, the search icon will be moved to the top right corner of your dashboard (if you don’t see the search icon at all, see the first item under “Ongoing”).
We’ve updated our API to expose the is_blocks_post_format field for Posts again. Check out this GitHub issue for more info. Our API docs have been updated as well.
You can now purchase Blue Checkmarks in the iOS app.
We’ve added RSS feed metadata to our new blog view (e.g. https://www.tumblr.com/staff) for those folks using RSS reader extensions in their browser.
If you have the reduced motion setting enabled, you will no longer see an animated GIF on the error page.
The ALT button, which exposes an image’s alt text (when available), has been added to the Android app.
Fixed an issue affecting the Explore page on web where the placeholder text in the reply field was not properly aligned when using the masonry (grid) layout option.
Fixed an issue on web where the in-dashboard ask form would pause for two seconds between being opened and receiving keyboard focus.
Fixed an issue on web that made the text in the login/sign up pop up very difficult to read when using certain color palettes.
On web, tooltips that appear when hovering over icons in the post footer will now disappear immediately after you’ve moved your cursor off of the icon, instead of lingering.
Mentions in the post editor on web are once again underlined.
Fixed an issue on web where the site icons could be invisible on some pages when using the Cybernetic or Pumpkin palettes.
The search icon is missing for some folks using the iOS app. We’re working on a fix, but in the meantime, quitting and restarting the app should force the icon to appear (in the top right corner of your dashboard).
Many people are experiencing an influx of spammy followers. We’re working to combat this, but in the meantime make sure to report any spam blogs you encounter.
Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
