Happy mid-August!
New builds are now available! We think you’ll like this round of updates!
Bug fixes + improvements:
- Hardens the client against bad extended material data
- Reduces sensitivity of v-stick resulting in improved control of avatar movement
- Enables new voice chat functions
- Lighting falloff calculation is improved
- New Memory Allocators: iOS and Android: We'll now use the OS memory reports to hint our memory allocations in real-time, allowing us to load a bit more content before we run out of RAM.
- Fixes resizing the app on Android folding devices (e.g. Samsung Z-Fold)
- Prevents several issues relating to executing UI operations on the wrong thread
- Water no longer appears in weird places after you teleport
- More fixes for BOM-using avatars where textures would not load
UI Changes:
- Wear or remove a group tag
- UI to show (or hide) group titles
- Fix to not include self in nearby count
- Modal dialog updates
- Simplified loading animation for Destination Guide

Good news and bad news. Let me start with the bad news:
the specific language we are complying with is "New apps and app updates must target Android 14 (API level 34) to be submitted to Google Play (except for Wear OS and Android TV apps, which must target Android 13 or higher)."
It's the "app updates" part that requires us to target Android 14+.
Now for the good news! We're looking into distributing an APK that targets older Android versions from our download page - we will update the feedback portal with instructions once we sort that out.

Android 15 comes out late October 2024+. We need a mobile requirements page for phones and tablets for best experience etc.
