This update will be released to beta testers and Github within the next couple of hours. If the update is bug free, it will be released to everyone else within 24 hours.

This update adds two relatively big features. The first is link previews. This feature will show a link preview popup when a link is tapped, displaying information about the link. You are then given the choice to visit the link or back out. This is a safety precaution as it’s difficult to see where a link takes you on mobile when you tab on links within text. By default link previews are only enabled for links within text. You can change this in settings (Settings > Misc > Preview links). You can choose between showing link previews for all links, only for links within text or disabling the feature entirely.

This update also adds more mod tools as suggested by @[email protected]. It adds a new feed Moderated communities which is a special type of multi-community feed that shows posts from all communities where the current user is a moderator. Note that this feed will only appear if you are the moderator of at least one community. This update also adds some other moderated related improvements as well.

Changelog
