Lowlight 1.1.3 Is Here. Let’s Catch Up.

A new iOS build, a posting calendar on web and iPhone, better servers, more ways to make your profile yours, and the fixes we’ve shipped since Friday.

The new Lowlight iOS build is live on the App Store. If you haven’t updated yet, grab version 1.1.3. There’s quite a bit waiting for you.

Since Friday, September 4, we’ve shipped a new posting calendar, made servers easier to get around, opened up more profile customization, and launched creator spotlights and weekly progress. The website has had some attention, too. You’ll notice it on Home, on profiles, and when you search.

We’ve also been working through the frustrating stuff: chat deciding you’re offline when you aren’t, notifications opening the wrong place, uploads getting caught in retries, and progress tracking getting interrupted when you switch tabs.

Here’s what changed between September 4 and September 9, and where to find it. The screenshots below show the website; the calendar, profile options, and server improvements are also available in the updated iOS app.

Your posting schedule finally has a calendar

You finish a few clips, decide to spread them across the week, and then have to remember what’s going out when. That’s the problem this update is meant to solve.

Open Content manager on web and you’ll find the new calendar. Scheduled posts and posts you’ve already published sit together by date, so you can see the gaps in your week without piecing it together from a list.

On desktop, switch between Week, Month, and List. On iPhone, the calendar gives you a day-by-day agenda that fits the screen. Dates and times follow your local time zone.

Select a day to start a text or video post with that date already filled in. You can see whether a post is scheduled, preparing, published, or needs attention. A failed scheduled post stays on its planned date, so it doesn’t quietly disappear from the plan.

We’ve kept drafts, processing uploads, and posts that need attention close by. If scheduling fails, the app holds on to your scheduling choice so you can try again.

Both light and dark mode got the full treatment: clearer dates, calmer surfaces, and a little cyan where you need it. Set up your posts, then go play something.

Keep your server close while you browse

The server experience has been getting a lot of work. Navigation, channel headings, grouped messages, server artwork, creation, and settings are easier to follow on web and iOS.

On web, the Server Dock keeps a conversation nearby while you browse Lowlight. Open the full server when you want more room, then return to the Dock. The message you were writing stays with you.

The server list includes search, pinned servers, and a shortcut back to your last conversation. We also brought the Members button into view in both the full server and the Dock. You shouldn’t have to hunt through a menu to see who’s there.

There are new ways to bring people into your communities, too:

• Feature up to three eligible servers on your profile. Pick the order so visitors can find the communities you want to show them.
• Add server links to text and video posts. Give people a direct way to find the server behind a clip or conversation.
• Open a server preview before joining. The link takes people through the right join, application, or invitation flow, and keeps the destination if they need to sign in first.

We’ve tightened up the less visible parts as well: unread state follows what you actually have open, reconnecting can recover a channel join, and moving between channels keeps drafts and pending actions attached to the right conversation.

A profile that shows more of your history

You can now choose and order multiple badges on your full profile. There are also optional details for when you joined Lowlight, your OG number, your Founding Referrer number, and your Premium history, where you qualify.

You decide which details to show. Being eligible for one of these doesn’t mean we turn every display option on for you.

Web profiles also have a new layout around the collectible cover. Your bio, stats, and actions are easier to read, the content tabs are more distinct, and the whole page works in light and dark mode.

Post and comment badges stay compact so conversations stay readable. And if a showcase fails to load, there’s now a clear way to retry it.

More to watch, less digging around

We’ve spent a lot of time on the web homepage. The featured clip has cleaner playback controls, community and organization artwork gets room to breathe, and the Top Shorts and Top Videos shelves keep their shape as the window changes size.

On desktop, hover over or focus a supported preview to get a quick look at the video. Preview controls let you pause, mute, and scrub through it. Starting a preview pauses the featured player so two clips aren’t competing for your attention.

Search got a refresh of its own. Results have a clearer query heading, tidier media rows, and counts for the category you’re looking at. Filters stay available when a category has no results, so you can move on without starting over.

For You has received fixes beneath the surface, too. We corrected how watch activity and feedback feed into recommendations, improved handling of Not Interested and preference resets, and repaired cases where likes or saves could get stuck after a failed request. Preference controls now wait for a save or reset to finish before accepting another change.

A temporary recommendation error on web can also recover when you reconnect or return to the page, while keeping the videos that already loaded.

Your clips can get a spotlight

Creator recognition is live. Selected clips can appear in homepage placements and spotlights tied to Explore, games, communities, and organizations. When your clip is selected, its recognition opens the actual feature so you can see it and share it.

We’ve also opened weekly progress highlights to all qualifying creators. These give you a dated look at the week’s activity, with returning-audience and personal-best highlights when there’s enough measured history to support them.

The first reports begin after the current week closes. Your notification preferences and quiet hours still apply.

There’s a lot of good stuff being posted here. We want more people to find the creators making it.

The fixes you’ll probably appreciate just as much

A fresh screen is nice. Being able to send the message you just typed is fairly important, too. Here’s the rest of the work that affects everyday use:

• Fewer false offline dead ends. Chat on web and iOS, along with web video playback, now checks whether Lowlight is reachable when the device or browser says it’s offline. Successful traffic can get recovery moving again without waiting for another connection event.
• Better chat recovery. Pending messages, channel joins, read acknowledgements, and retries have had fixes for reconnects, delayed responses, and account changes. We also removed a misleading offline label from the recipient header.
• Notification taps land more reliably. Fixes cover opening from a closed app, tapping while a session refreshes, and an older notification trying to replace the destination you just chose. Web notifications do a better job of returning you to an existing tab.
• Catch-up notifications are available to eligible users. Saved opt-outs are still respected, and you can manage your preferences in Settings.
• Uploads handle interruptions better. Video processing can resume after routine server maintenance without using up a failure retry. We also fixed cleanup retry errors around abandoned uploads.
• Support reports are easier to recover. If a screenshot can’t be uploaded, your written report stays put. You can retry or send the report without the failed image. We improved handling of iPhone screenshot formats and restored Help Center search.
• Web XP tracking handles tab switches better. Switching away no longer ends the session while earned activity is being saved. Returning to the tab can resume tracking, and blocked browser storage has a recovery path.
• More dependable activity recording. We fixed a conflict that could interrupt simultaneous view and impression updates, along with errors during page-close activity reporting.
• Startup fixes. iOS 1.1.3 includes the correction for a startup error in the preceding test build. Web has better recovery for failed page assets and feed requests.

We’ve been doing the maintenance work, too

Some of the week went into keeping Lowlight available while we deploy updates, handling traffic changes, reducing repeated work behind posts and chat, and making interrupted video jobs recover properly.

We also improved the reports we get when sign-in, chat, uploads, or recommendations fail. Those changes help us trace an issue to the part that broke. They don’t make every connection problem disappear, but they give us a much better starting point when one happens.

We’ve also added more checks before updates go out, including opening the iOS app, getting to email login, and closing and reopening it. If something breaks at startup, we want to catch it before it reaches your phone.

Grab the update and try it

Update Lowlight on the App Store, then open the app. If Lowlight offers an in-app update and restart, let it finish so you have the latest changes. The web updates are already available at lowlight.gg.

Try planning your next few posts, put your servers on your profile, or see who’s showing up on Home.

And if something still gets in your way, send us a report through Help. The more specific you can be about what you tapped and what happened next, the easier it is for us to track down.

Thanks for sticking with us, sharing your clips, and telling us when something’s off. Keep it coming.

See you in the feed.
