Steady sheets on iPhone
Fixed an issue where opening the keyboard could switch New post into a split layout on iPhone. Edit profile and share cards use the same correction.

Join the beta
Settings → About has a way to get new features first through TestFlight, with what's in the latest beta on slepton.app.
Simpler invites
The invite card and the message you send friends are shorter and to the point.
Notices back around the island
Saved, posted and rank notices wrap the Dynamic Island again instead of growing from a corner, which only belongs on iPhone Duo.
Made for the notch
On iPhones with a notch, notices hang from the top of the screen around it, with the icon and word either side, instead of floating over the page.
Made for iPhone Duo
Open your iPhone Duo and SleptOn uses both halves: the artwork on one side, the details on the other, and nothing sitting across the fold.
The feed, opened up
On the open Duo your feed is a grid of cards, three across held upright. Held sideways, home scrolls through your genres, moods, a row of posts, listening now and Happening now.
Messages, side by side
On the open Duo, Messages gets its own tab, with your chats down the side and the open one beside them.
Every page split at the fold
Songs, artists, albums, profiles, genres, Search, Explore, Activity, Stats, Saved, Settings and Happening now put who or what it is on the left and the rest on the right.
Post and sign up across both halves
Welcome, the feature tour, onboarding, new post, edit profile and share sheets spread across the open Duo too.
Notices from the corner
On iPhone Duo, saved, posted and rank notices grow from the corner instead of the top of the screen.
An artist's songs, in order
View all shows an artist's top songs first, then the rest of their catalogue grouped under each release.
A clearer Ideas board
An empty board explains how it works, and filtering to nothing says so, with a button to suggest a feature or report a bug.
Polish
Switching between Posts and Reposts on a profile no longer pulls the page up, and the tabs stay put.

Your reputation, week by week
Profiles show twelve weeks of points as a grid, a row for each of your top three genres, so you can see where you've been busiest.
A cleaner post page
The cover fills the page with who posted it in the corner, and long song titles wrap instead of getting cut off.
Called it counts climbs
Post a song before it takes off: if it climbs into a genre's top 10 on Apple Music, you called it. Badges now show the best rank it reached.
Around here, as a ticket
Your profile shows your city and your top two local genre ranks on a ticket stub.
Reposts show who found it
Covers on the Reposts shelf carry the original poster's photo.
Polish
Rounder buttons, the new Apple Music icon in light and dark, and no more band behind Post while you type.
Smoother map and profile
Going back from Around the world takes the sheet with it, and your profile stays up to date when you open the app.
Reposts on profiles
Profiles now have a Reposts shelf next to Posts, and your own reposts show up in your feed right away.
Every artist on an album
Albums by more than one artist let you pick which artist to open, just like songs.
Every artist on a song
Songs by more than one artist now let you pick which artist to open, instead of always going to the first.
A city’s top three on the map
Zoom into a city on Around the world and its top three songs fan out on the map. Cities also stay put while you move around them.
Reposts
Repost a post you love and it lands at the top of your followers’ feeds, credited to whoever posted it. You’ll hear when someone reposts yours.
Swipe to like, save and repost
On iOS 27, swipe a post in your feed to like it, save it, repost it or jump to its comments. Swipe in Activity to mark things read or clear them.
Post what’s playing, anywhere
Say “Post what I’m listening to on SleptOn” to Siri, add the button to Control Center or your Action button, and SleptOn opens ready to post the song.
Cleaner Settings
Settings text is a little smaller and easier to scan, and it still follows your text size in iOS Settings.
Archive posts
Take a post off your profile without deleting it. Only you can see it, under Archive on your profile, and you can put it back any time.
Choose who can comment
From a post’s ⋯ menu, let everyone comment, only people you follow, or turn comments off.
Pin comments
Press and hold a comment on your post to pin it to the top. You can pin up to three.
Drafts
Close a post you’re writing and save it as a draft. Find it under Drafts when you pick a song.
@mentions
Type @ in a caption or comment to tag someone. Pick from the people who show up, and their name links to their profile.
Know when you’re mentioned
You’ll get a notification when someone mentions you. Choose who can notify you in Settings → Notifications → Mentions.

Meet Explore
The Genres tab is now Explore. Around the world, Happening now, your genres, cities to hear and every genre are all in one place.
Around the world, like Apple Maps
The map fills the screen behind a sheet you can pull up or down. Zoom in to switch between 2D and 3D, or tap ⓘ to choose Explore, Satellite or Hybrid, places and landmarks, and 3D terrain.
Taste match everywhere
Search, followers, following, follow requests and suggestions now show the same taste match as profiles. People who hide their match show no ring.

Your badges, front and center
Badges now face straight ahead when you open them or reset rotation. Previews and Messages stickers match the new front-on view.
Badges with depth

A new look for every milestone
Explore the new designs across your collection, with silver-gray badges to work toward and a mystery design for hidden achievements.

A photo for your group

Songs shared in a group chat now collect on personal shelves, one for each friend. Browse their picks, play their previews or tap a cover to open the song. Older shared songs are there too.

Reply with a song
Answer any comment or post with a song, with or without words. Every song people reply with collects in an “Answered with” row on the post, ready to play through.
Taste match that knows you
Your match % now comes from what you both post, save and like. Tap the ring on someone’s profile to see what you share.
Your moods

Easier-to-read takes
Long takes on the feed size down so the whole thing fits.

2026
A new way to post
The song’s artwork takes centre stage, a fresh prompt helps you say why it’s slept on, and the Post button tells you which chart it’s going to.
Moods show up live
Your post’s mood tags now appear on the feed a few seconds after you post, without a refresh. Your profile photo shows on your new post straight away too.
Smoother Happening now
Playlists remember what people posted, so coming back to one doesn’t reload it from scratch.

Map credits, in one place
Find map data credits in Settings → About → Attributions, or tap the globe’s info button. The permanent footer is gone; a brief credit appears on your first visit.
Turn the whole world
Drag the dot globe in any direction, including over the poles. It stays where you leave it after you take control.

Blocking cleans up
Blocking someone now takes back their likes, saves and comments on your posts, and yours on theirs, and clears their notifications from Activity. Counts drop to match.
Profile not available
Opening someone who blocked you or deleted their account now says so, instead of showing an error.
Around the world
Tap the globe on Genres to see where people are posting this month. Spin it, pinch in to land on a city, and see its top songs and who leads each genre there. Big cities zoom right down to the streets.
Your city on the map
Show your city on your profile and your posts count toward it on the globe. Only the city goes on the map, never where you are.
Weekly points, redrawn
The points chart on profiles is now a column of dots for each week, with this week lit in your top genre's colour.
Report bugs on Ideas
Ideas now takes bug reports as well as feature ideas. Filter the board by Features or Bugs, and vote on the ones that bother you most.
Profiles update live
Follower counts and new posts show up without refreshing, and a private profile opens the moment they accept your request. Ideas votes and your saved songs from other devices update live too.
Fixes
Opening someone from Find people no longer jumps back to Search. Weekly points stay on profiles, and the album covers behind a profile no longer repeat row after row.

Ideas, up front
The Ideas board now sits at the top of Settings, so it’s one tap to vote or suggest a feature.
Ideas board
Suggest a feature and vote on what we build next, from Settings › Help. You can see the board at slepton.app/ideas too.
