A fresher chat

• Gift links in chats show as a gift card with what’s inside (Premium length or the shop item), who it’s from, and whether it’s been claimed.
• The reaction picker leads with the reactions you use most.
• Tap someone’s picture or name at the top of a chat to open their profile, and see when you’re friends or they follow you.
• Voice messages record right in the message box with a live level meter, and the reaction picker no longer hides behind the chat list.

Edit posts, banners, and a cleaner feed

In preview: available to accounts in the early feed preview.

• Edit or delete your own posts from the … menu on any post (edited posts are marked).
• Edit your feed profile right from the feed: add a banner, and change your name and bio.
• When someone you follow reposts something, it shows up in your Following feed with their name on it.
• A cleaner look for the feed and post pages, including on phones, and new people to follow each time you visit.

A new place to post and catch up

In early preview: only certain accounts have access right now while we test it. Opening to everyone soon!

• In early preview: rolling out to select accounts first before opening to everyone.
• Share notes, photos and polls in the community feed, then like, reply, repost or bookmark posts.
• Follow people to see their posts. When you follow each other, you’re friends and can use friends-only DMs.
• Every account has a feed profile at /feed/@name with posts, replies, reposts and likes, plus a share card for Discord.

Templates now copy all your settings

• Sharing a template now saves your complete design: colors, fonts, effects, layouts, backgrounds, player style, badges, positioning, splash screen, audio visualizer and everything else. Only your bio and page title stay with you—everything else comes from the template, the way it should be.

Avatar shape now works in Bento layout

• The profile picture shape setting (circle, rounded, square, squircle) now applies to the Bento layout avatar, not just the card corner radius.

No more grey box on transparent avatars

• Profile pictures with transparent backgrounds no longer show a grey box behind them.

Gold names no longer get clipped

• The last letter of a name with the Gold effect could lose a sliver of its right edge, mostly on layouts with tight letter spacing like Spotlight. It’s drawn in full now.

Spotlight pages: links no longer land on top of your name

• On the Spotlight layout, a link or card (like Telegram) could end up on top of your name if “Unlock positioning” was turned on. Links now stay in order below your bio, and “Unlock positioning” only applies to the layouts that support it.

A cherry blossom home page

• The home page now sits in a sakura forest at dusk, with petals drifting down and trees that shift as you move your mouse.

Freeform layouts fit on smaller screens

• Profiles with freeform positioning (Unlock positioning) now scale down on laptops and smaller monitors so everything fits on screen, instead of cutting off elements placed near the edges. The editor still shows the full 1:1 layout.

Smoother sakura forest loading

• The cherry blossom forest on the home page now fades in smoothly after loading, instead of popping in abruptly. It also waits until the page is ready before starting to draw.

Message notifications

• When someone messages you, a card pops up wherever you are in the dashboard, with a button to reply. Chats you muted stay quiet.
• When you come back, it tells you how many unread messages are waiting.
• Want them while the tab is in the background too? Tap “get these on your desktop too” on any of those cards.

See who’s around

• Chats now show how many people are online on yen.bio right now, live. Anyone with their dashboard open counts, and the green dots on chats mean the same thing.

Sticker messages, chat wallpapers, and a livelier dashboard

• Send stickers in chats: tap the smiley in the message box and switch to stickers. Hearts, stars, a ghost, and starbursts that say lol, omg, gm and more.
• Every chat theme has its own doodle wallpaper, new messages land with a little tilt, and adding a reaction pops some confetti.
• Your overview shows your page live on a phone, plus a sticker sheet of milestones to collect, like going live, your first link and 100 views.
• Insights got drawn by hand: views are a marker line with the busiest day circled, and the countries your visitors come from are flag stickers on a map of the world.

A new layout: Sticker

• Your page as a desk full of stickers: your picture is a die-cut sticker, your name sits on a sticker in your accent color, your bio is a note taped down, and every link is a sticker that peels up when someone points at it.
• Pick it in Customize → Layout. It works with your colors, background, effects, badges, music and freeform positions.
• The home page now shows all ten styles on real phones, each running a real page that uses it, and a different bunch every time you visit.

A new dashboard, themes, and an easier editor

• The whole dashboard got the sticker look, and you can give it a theme: midnight, bubblegum, sky, matcha, sunset, lavender or mono. Pick one in Settings or from your account menu.
• The editor shows one part at a time, grouped into the look, your stuff and extras, with next and back buttons to walk you through it.
• Undo and redo your changes (Ctrl Z and Ctrl Shift Z), publish with Ctrl S, or hit "undo all" to go back to what’s live. The publish button counts what you changed.
• Closed the tab before publishing? Next time you open the editor it offers to bring your changes back.

Chats got a lot better

• React to any message with an emoji: double-click to heart it, or hold it down on your phone.
• Reply to a specific message (swipe it on your phone), and tap the quote to jump back to the original.
• Send photos and gifs: paste them, drop them on the chat, or use the photo button.
• Pin the chats you care about to the top, and give each chat its own theme, like bubblegum, matcha or paper.
• Name your group chats. Links are clickable, and a message that's just a few emoji shows up big.
• Whatever you were typing is still there when you come back, and a "new" line shows where you left off.
• Scrollbars in a chat match its theme.

The shop, the market and sign-in got the sticker look

• The shop is laid out in aisles, with everything on its own sticker and a receipt that spells out how paying works.
• Names on the market are "hello my name is" tags, and templates are polaroids you can open for a closer look.
• Log in, sign up, password resets, the help center, gift links and the "nobody here" pages all match the new home page now.
• Card and PayPal checkout only shows on Premium now, where it works. Other items had a card button that only ever showed an error.

A brand new home page

• The home page is now a desk covered in stickers of real yen pages. Pick them up and throw them around, and watch the shadows follow your cursor.
• Names of the newest people on yen roll past on tape, every feature is a sticker you can peel, and the styles are live pages you can open.
• Type a name and it tells you right away if it's free.
• There's a record on the desk too. Tap it to play a song.

The leaderboard is now the chart

• The top 3 are big stickers taped to the page: your page's background as the art, your picture stuck on the side, and the song on your page as a little label. Hover one and it peels up.
• Numbers 4 to 12 are stuck on the board, and everyone after that has a row with the song on their page.

Discord roles update every hour

• Your Discord roles now follow your yen.bio account every hour instead of once a day: new Premium, badges and verification show up in the server much sooner, and the Server Booster badge follows your boost within the hour.

A roomier editor

• In Customize, the dashboard menu shrinks to a strip of icons (hover one to see its name), giving your settings much more room.
• Drag the left edge of the preview to make it wider or narrower; it remembers the size you pick (double-click the edge to reset). Freeform positions stay exactly where you put them at any width.
• The section tabs wrap onto a second row instead of being cut off.

More typewriter lines with Premium

• Premium pages can now cycle through up to 15 alternate bio lines with the typewriter effect (free pages keep 6). If your Premium ends, the extra lines stay saved and come back when it does.

You can @mention aliases

• An @alias in your bio (or your typewriter lines) now turns into a clickable tag too, without a picture, and links to that alias, which opens its owner's page.

Halloween is coming: the pumpkin hunt starts Oct 20

• From October 20 to November 2, yen.bio goes full Halloween: a haunted night on the home page (moon, bats, fog, a haunted house), pumpkin-orange everywhere, cobwebs, and a spooky dashboard. Pumpkins hide around the site: on the home page, your dashboard, the leaderboard, the shop, the styles gallery, and on a few different profiles each day.
• Click 5 of them while logged in to earn the limited Halloween 2026 badge. It won't be available again after the event. Your dashboard tracks which ones you've found.

No more captcha on profile pages

• Profile pages no longer load a Cloudflare captcha, which was adding empty space at the top of every page. Views are still protected from bots by a signed page-load check and rate limits.
• The editor's desktop preview is now the size of your own browser window, so your card fits in it exactly as it does on your screen.

The editor preview now matches real screens

• The desktop preview is now shaped like a real monitor (your own window's proportions) and the phone preview like a real phone, so freeform layouts look the same in the editor as on your live page, instead of spilling off the bottom and scrolling.
• With freeform positioning on, the floating music player is outlined in the preview, so you can see what it will cover.
• Freeform pages no longer scroll with nothing below: the page is now exactly the size of the screen, the way it looks in the editor.

Song seeking fixed, and smoother cursor effects

• The music player sometimes showed a length of 0:00 and wouldn't let you seek. It now always knows how long the song is.
• The cursor effect preview in the editor no longer slows the editor down, and it rests after a few loops until you hover it. Cursor effects on profiles also do less work on every mouse move.

Snap to grid for freeform positioning

• With Unlock positioning on, dragged items now snap to a grid lined up with the middle of your card, and the grid shows while you drag. Pick 8, 16, 24 or 32px (or Off) under Fine tune → Freeform layout. Hold Alt/Option while dropping to place freely.
• Click an item and use the arrow keys to nudge it: one grid step per press, four with Shift, one pixel with Alt/Option.

Typewriter mentions stay tags the whole time

• With the typewriter effect, an @mention now pops in as a tag and is deleted in one go, instead of turning back into plain text while the line backspaces. A half-typed name can no longer briefly tag someone else.
