🔍 Font Size, 🖼️ Images in Feed, 🌃 System Light/Dark Mode ✴️ Coming Soon: 📽️ Video Uploads!! 🎞️
Hi, everyone 🏜️🍹
We're pleased to announce some great news.
Increase Font Size 🔍 🆎 🅰️🅱️
We have implemented a Font Size adjustment feature so users can increase the font size of the Posts, Replies, Messages, and Text Fields.
You can find it in the same place where we have the Dark Mode setting:
This feature is aimed at enhancing readability, making our website more accessible and user-friendly for those who need it.
Dark Mode improvements 🌃📱
We've made significant improvements to Dark Mode on SimilarWorlds.
We've added a new option, "System Mode", which automatically adjusts to match your device's settings. If your device is set to Dark Mode (or Battery Saver), SW will automatically enable Dark Mode for you. This is the default option going forward, but users can always select "Light Mode" to enable it permanently. This improvement extends to the logged-out view, where previously only Light Mode was available.
Images in Feed 🖼️
We've also introduced image previews on Posts in the Feeds.
To ensure a safe and relevant experience, several factors and checks are in place to prevent spam or inappropriate images from appearing. The visibility of these previews may also depend on the context, such as whether you follow the user.
Massive performance improvements and bug fixes 🚀
While we haven't posted regular updates recently, we've been actively listening to user feedback and collaborating with many members to address issues with SimilarWorlds. This includes resolving bugs, fixing accessibility concerns, and tackling performance and slowness problems.
In addition, we're continuously enhancing our server and database infrastructure to ensure better security, modernization, and overall performance improvements.
Coming Soon 🕒 🔜
Some things we're currently working on:
▪️ Video Uploads 🎞️ - We currently allow uploads of static images and animated GIFs. Soon, we'll allow uploads of actual videos with sound!
▪️ Take a Photo with Camera 🤳🏻 - While this is currently possible in the Photo Albums pages, it's not yet possible to quickly Take a Photo with Camera in the tools available when you are typing a message. We will soon provide this option under the Insert Image button.
▪️ Remove Limits/Quota of Image Uploads ♾️ - We will soon remove the quota that is currently applied to Photo Albums, which often requires users to delete old images in order to add new ones.

Thank you for your support.
We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of SimilarWorlds.
Very kind regards, 🧡 - The SW Team

@Bexsy I personally plan to upload less and less to YouTube now that this feature exists. I don't care for what Alphabet has done with the place, anyway.
We were friends with a couple who had a small forest too and they used to own cows, chickens and ducks and the babies (birds) would follow the woman like she's their mum. When she retold me those stories of days long ago, it was as if I was THERE :D
So, I am very happy to hear about your videos :D Thanks. You made my day better, a ray of sunshine :) 🌻🌞
