Tidier profile timelines
- On profiles, the “pinned post”, “reposted” and “liked” labels now line up with the post, and the reply / repost / like / share buttons sit in even columns so the numbers no longer jump around from post to post.
page 11 of 19, going back to october 9, 2026.

Group invite cards
- Sending someone a yen.bio group invite link in a chat now shows a card with the group’s picture, name and size, and a button to join.
- new
Private feed accounts
- Make your feed account private (edit profile → Private account): only followers you accept see your posts.
- Following a private account sends a request. Accept or decline requests from your notifications.
- Reposts now show in your Posts, mixed in with what you wrote, instead of their own tab.
- new
Hide games, and turn off commands
- Hide a game in a chat to shrink it to a slim bar (it lights up when it’s your turn), or hit “hide all” to tuck every game away.
- Group owners can turn momo’s commands on and off for their group in the group settings.
- new
momo’s shop
- momo has her own shop in the dashboard (store → momo’s shop), dressed up for Halloween right now.
- Spend coins on name effects (how your name looks in group chats), bubble effects (how your messages look to everyone) and nameplates (behind your name in a group’s member list).
- Avatar decorations moved there too: try anything on before you buy, and wear or take off what you own in one tap.
- Nameplates and name effects also show in your chat list, behind people you message one-to-one.
- Your avatar decoration now shows on your picture in chats. Turn that off from your account menu if you’d rather not.
- fixed
Fairer weekly and monthly leaderboards
- A page can’t show more visits this week or month than it has in total, so bursts of fake views no longer win the board.
- new
Talk to momo
- momo is an AI now: type /say and anything, or just @momo her in a message, and she’ll answer in the chat.
- She only sees what you say to her (never the rest of your chat), and remembers her last few chats with you for a day.
- new
Squad stickers
- A new sticker pack with momo and her friends together, two to five at a time: besties, sleepover, the gc rn, the gang, HBD!!, miss u and more.
- sol got a glow-up: a little chick still hatching out of its egg.
- new
Your own reaction bar, and birthday confetti
- Way more emoji to react with.
- Pick the six on your reaction bar: open the reactions, tap +, then “edit your reaction bar”. The first one is what a double tap sends.
- On your phone, hold a message (or a reaction) to see who reacted with what.
- Saying happy birthday in a chat throws confetti around the message. Tap it to throw some more.
- Typing a full emoji name like :eyes: turns into 👀 right away in the message box.
- Your page’s picture now shows everywhere instead of your Discord or sign-in picture.
- new
The Halloween event is live 🎃
- The pumpkin hunt starts today instead of October 20, and runs until November 2.
- Find 5 hidden pumpkins around yen.bio for the limited Halloween 2026 badge. Your dashboard tracks which ones you’ve found.
- The home page has a Halloween night: an orange moon with bats and a witch flying past, a “boo!” sign, spooky fairy lights, cobwebs, jack-o’-lanterns, a ghost, and momo in a witch hat.
- The dashboard gets fog, a ghost drifting by, and momo’s witch hat too.
- new
Songs in chats
- Paste a Spotify song link in a chat and it turns into a card with the cover art, title and artist.
- Tap play to hear a 30-second preview right in the chat (a record spins while it plays), or open it in Spotify.
- Deleting a message now removes it completely, for everyone, instead of leaving a “deleted” note behind.
- new
Statuses
- Pick a status from your account menu (your picture, bottom left).
- Appear offline: nobody sees you’re on, but you still get everything.
- Do not disturb: no pop-ups, sounds or phone notifications. Your unread counts still go up, so nothing gets lost.
- Important only: just mentions of you, and messages from people you pick, get through.
- Chats show when someone’s on do not disturb (red) or important only (yellow).
- new
Battleship and uno
- Type /battleship in a chat (or /battleship @friend) to sink each other’s fleets: rolling seas, burning hits, splashes and a crosshair that follows your aim. A hit gets you another shot.
- Type /uno for a game with up to 8 people. Your hand is only ever shown to you; match the colour or number, and use skips, reverses, +2s and wilds.
- Winners get coins, like every other game.
- new
Invite friends, get premium
- You have an invite link now (yen.bio/r/yourname): find it on your dashboard.
- When a friend signs up with it and makes their page, you both get a week of premium. It stacks, up to 12 weeks.
- The yen.bio pill on your page links people through your invite too.
- The leaderboard has an invites tab for who’s brought the most friends.
- better
Aliases that don’t forward stay private
- An alias you own but have set not to forward no longer shows in the “also @…” list on your page or your feed profile.
- new
Six new coin games
- /icefish: drop a line through the ice and see what bites, from an old boot to the golden fish (25×).
- /wheel: spin a wheel at low, medium or high risk.
- /roulette: bet on red, black, odd, even, low, high, green or a single number.
- /slots: three reels of hand-drawn symbols (cherries, lemons, grapes, bells, stars and the blossom gem), a jackpot on three of a kind.
- /hilo: guess higher or lower, card after card, and cash out whenever you like.
- /tower: climb eight floors past the traps (easy, medium or hard) and cash out on the way up.
- new
Stickers of momo’s friends
- Twenty new stickers in chats and on the feed: juno (half asleep, with cocoa and a song), sol (yelling, with a megaphone), mika (with her camera, tagging everyone) and kai (with his controller, and no coins).
- The sticker picker has a tab for each of them, and remembers the last one you used.
- momo’s help card has new icons: a clean set on coloured tiles, one colour per kind of command.
- better
The leaderboard, redone
- See who’s getting the most visits this week, this month or of all time.
- One clean list: the top three get a bigger row with their own background (pictures and videos) playing behind them, and momo’s peeking over number one.
- Your own visits never count, and neither does refreshing someone’s page over and over.
- It’s back in the top bar.
- new
momo’s shop: spend your coins
- Nine new avatar decorations you can only get with coins: mika’s bow, sol’s tuft, juno’s horns, kai’s headphones, fairy lights, a blossom wreath, a coin ring, momo peeking over your picture, and momo and friends. Once you buy one it’s yours for good.
- Buy them in the editor (Profile → Avatar decoration → momo’s shop) or in any chat with /shop and /buy.
- /work: do a little job every 2 hours for some coins.
- /daily now pays a bonus when your streak hits 7, 14, 30, 60 and 100 days in a row.
- better
A new front page, and momo’s friends
- Meet momo’s friends: juno the sleepy cloud lamb, sol the loud little chick, mika the frog who tags everyone, and kai the cat who never has any coins.
- The front page lights up when you open it: the room starts dark, the fairy lights come on one by one and the lamp flickers on. Moonlight falls through the window, and there’s a cat asleep on the pouf (pet it), a train crossing the city, and a phone that keeps buzzing.
- The most visited pages now open live in a little browser window, with the chart beside it.
- There’s a game night section where you can play tic-tac-toe against kai right on the page.
- Headings use a rounder, softer font, and on phones the room is the first thing you see.
- Coins got a makeover: they’re gold with the yen blossom stamped on them, and they flip and shine now and then.
- The loading screen’s glow sits behind momo again.
- better
Murder at the manor, bigger
- Four modes: classic, chaos, detective mode and quick. Whoever starts it picks.
- New roles: the godfather (looks innocent), the framer, the silencer, the bodyguard, the vigilante, the mayor (two votes), the jester (wins if you vote them out) and the survivor. In chaos mode, two people fall in love, and if one dies so does the other.
- Clues: everyone has two traits, and each morning a clue points at one of the killer’s. They’re pinned to an evidence board, with who matches.
- Everyone’s picture is on the board, and the dead can still talk, greyed out with a cross on their picture and (dead) by their name.
- Games now move down the chat as they go on, so they stay in view while everyone talks.
- new
momo, the chat bot
- Type / in any chat to talk to momo. /help shows everything.
- Games right in the chat: tic-tac-toe, connect four, rock paper scissors, trivia, hangman, typerace, draw and guess and a murder mystery where the dead can’t talk.
- Crash is a party now: when someone starts a round, everyone in the chat has ten seconds to hop on with their own bet, then each of you cashes out on your own.
- Coins: collect /daily, send them with /pay, see /rich, and try your luck with coinflip, dice, limbo, plinko, crash, mines and blackjack. Save up enough and /redeem them for premium.
- Group owners and admins can /mute people for a while, as well as /kick and /ban.
- /fm brings your last.fm into the chat: what you’re playing, your tops and charts, and who knows an artist best (the top listener wears the crown).
- new
Delete a group
- If you own a group, you can delete it from its settings. It goes for everyone, with all its messages, so we ask twice.
- new
Tag people in stories
- Tap @ while making a story to tag up to five people. Their @ sits on the story like a sticker: move it, turn it, make it bigger.
- Anyone watching can tap the tag to open that person’s profile, and the people you tag get a notification.
- fixed
Smoother chats in the app
- Typing on a story keeps the cursor right on your words, and the template gallery no longer crashes the app on phones.
- Stories now open over everything, so the top bar no longer covers who posted them.
- Opening the keyboard in a chat no longer makes the screen jump up and slowly slide back down.
- The chats screen runs all the way up under the clock and battery, like a normal app. If you still see a black bar at the top, remove the app from your Home Screen and add it again.
- new
Stickers on the feed
- Post or reply with one of momo’s stickers. Tap the sticker button next to the emoji one when you write a post.
- A sticker post shows big in the feed and on the post page, and reads as “sticker: …” in quotes, reply previews and notifications.
- better
A new look
- A cozier yen.bio: a plum room on a rainy night with a pink lamp, momo by the window, and the colours of our blossom everywhere.
- A new home page. Try a page out before you sign up, see real pages drifting by, and press play on the record player by the window.
- The room on the home page has more going on: fairy lights to recolour, a candle to blow out, a pinboard, a window you can draw on, and momo to poke.
- Shop, market and help have the new look too, and they’re back in the top bar. Missing pages, the offline screen and the app’s opening screen now have momo. So do the loading screens, the dashboard home and anything that goes wrong.
- Every section of the home page is decorated now: bunting and fairy lights, a blossom branch, mugs, plants, washi tape on the cards, and momo peeking over the edge.
- Your dashboard and chats have a new default theme, blossom. Your old theme is still there if you picked one.
