Social updates

iOS 1.20 build 248 and later display the complete eligible set returned by the server.

Scroll down Home to find Social updates before Store updates. Each item shows the video title, source channel, and publication date. Tap the title to open that exact video.

YouTube updates come from the public Davar Kingdom of God and Jun Asai channels. For each source, Home always keeps its newest item and also shows every available post published in the previous 31 days, ordered newest first. The server checks about every six hours. Pulling down Home reloads the information already collected by the server. Post titles remain in their original language.

If a source cannot be refreshed, its previously validated items remain visible under the same publication rule, with a notice. An empty state appears if no items have been collected yet. Instagram is awaiting its official API connection and does not appear until that is complete. Open Facebook and X from Links.

The first collected videos appear on Home without sending a batch of Push notifications for older uploads.

Read the bulletin

1. Tap View Bulletin.
2. On iPhone, use the page-by-page reading order instead of a small two-page spread.
3. Where text view is available, select text to copy it or use the device's Translate action.

Translation and read-aloud

A Translate button translates that card's title and body on the device. A speaker button reads supported text aloud, with play, pause, speed, and 15-second movement controls. Network translation needs a connection; saved text and device speech may remain available offline.
