    iPhone videos just work as backgrounds

    • HEVC videos (the iPhone default) and .mov files are now converted to a format every browser plays, right in your browser while you upload. No more re-exporting: pick the video and watch the progress.
    • Big videos are scaled to 1080p on the way, which usually makes them small enough to fit the upload limit too.
  2. better

    @mentions now link with text effects on

    • @mentions in your bio turn into clickable profile pills even with a text effect on. With the typewriter, each line's mentions become links once it finishes typing, including your cycling bio lines.

    Choose your username after signing up with Discord

    • New to yen.bio through Discord? A box on your dashboard lets you pick your username (it checks if it's free as you type), or keep the one we suggested from your Discord name. It doesn't use up your one free username change.
  2. fixed

    Proper usernames for Discord sign-ups

    • Signing up with Discord now gives you a username that follows the usual rules (at least 2 characters, not reserved, not taken). If your Discord name doesn't fit, a few numbers are added, and you can change it in Settings.
  3. fixed

    One account per person, now in private windows too

    • Opening a private or incognito window no longer gets around the one-account rule. Need a second account? An Extra account voucher in the Shop still does it.
  4. new

    New Discord bot commands, and nicer cards

    • /random shows a random yen.bio page, with a 🎲 button to roll another.
    • /badges shows the badges on anyone's page, sorted by rarity.
    • /help lists everything the bot can do.
    • /profile, /leaderboard and /verify have new cards: avatars on the leaderboard podium, badges and top links on profiles, and a clear list of the roles /verify gave you.
  5. fixed

    The home page shows up instantly on phones

    • The landing page no longer sits on a blank starfield for a while on mobile: the headline, nav and hero now appear right away.
    • iPhone Safari no longer shows a zoomed-out desktop layout: the scrolling logo strip and style gallery were quietly making the page twice as wide. Every page, profiles included, now stays at phone width, including inside the TikTok and Instagram in-app browsers.
    • The claim box on the home page now fits on narrow phones instead of pushing the Claim button off the edge.
  6. better

    The Server Booster badge now follows your boost

    • If you stop boosting the Discord server, the Server Booster badge is now removed automatically (it is checked daily for linked members). Boost again and claim it from the dashboard to get it back.
  7. fixed

    Clearer messages when you already have an account

    • Trying to sign up for a second account on a browser or network that already has one now tells you straight away, instead of showing "Check your email" with nothing coming.
    • If you sign up with an email that already has an account, you now get an email saying so, with links to sign in or reset your password. The sign-up page itself looks the same either way, so nobody can use it to check whose email is registered.
  8. new

    Discord roles follow your yen.bio status

    • If you link Discord, the server can now give you roles that match your yen.bio account: Verified, Premium, staff roles and badges like OG or Early Supporter. They update automatically when your status changes, and /verify in the server refreshes them on demand.
  9. fixed

    Profiles scroll after the entry screen, and Messages shows new messages

    • On some profiles the page stayed locked after tapping through the entry screen, so anything below the first screen was cut off. It scrolls normally now.
    • The Messages item in the dashboard sidebar now shows how many unread messages you have, updates live, and clears as you read.
  10. fixed

    Video backgrounds play everywhere

    • Video backgrounds now start reliably on iPhone and iPad, and show their first frame instead of black when the phone is in Low Power Mode.
    • Videos saved in HEVC (the iPhone "High Efficiency" format) could play the sound but no picture on many computers. Uploading one now explains how to save it as H.264, which plays everywhere.
  11. new

    Nine new entrances, and smoother old ones

    • New card entrances: Rise, Focus (a camera focus pull), Drop, Zoom Out, Unfold, Curtain, plus Premium Iris (a circle opening from the center), Sweep (a glowing diagonal wipe) and Warp. Find them in Customize, then Effects, then Entrance.
    • Every entrance now shares one smooth easing, slides travel less and soften in from a blur, Flip turns in real 3D, Pulse glows instead of drawing a box, and Matrix rain uses your accent color.
    • New Entrance speed setting (50–200%) to play your entrance faster or slower. The old Animation speed slider is now called Text effect speed, since that is what it controls.
  12. better

    Domain Legend now comes automatically

    • Connect your own domain and finish setting up its DNS, and you get the Domain Legend badge automatically. It is awarded once the domain shows as verified in Settings, and you keep it if you remove the domain later.
  13. fixed

    Chats show display names

    • Group chat titles, message senders and "added/removed" notices now use each person's display name instead of the name they signed up with.
  14. new

    Mention people in group chats, and see who joins or leaves

    • In a group chat, type @ to pick someone from the group and mention them. Mentions are highlighted, and a message that mentions you gets a blue outline.
    • Your chat list shows a blue @ on any group where someone mentioned you.
    • The chat now tells you when someone is added, removed or leaves, for example "Alex added Sam" or "Kit left the group".
  15. better

    Safer group chats and custom CSS

    • Group chats are more private: you only receive live messages for chats you are actually in, and being removed from a group cuts you off within minutes.
    • Custom CSS can no longer place a clickable fixed layer over the whole page or sit on top of the yen.bio controls. Decorative fixed layers that cannot be clicked (glows, backgrounds) still work.
  16. better

    Harder to fake views, and real referrers

    • A profile view now only counts from a page that was really opened and left open, so scripts that post fake views no longer move your view count or the leaderboard.
    • Analytics now records where visitors really came from (the site that linked to you) instead of always showing your own page.
  17. fixed

    Font weights now actually change

    • With Syne, Outfit, Playfair Display, Geist Mono and Space Grotesk, Regular and Medium used to look identical, and so did Bold and Black. Each weight is now its own thickness.
    • A few fonts only come in one or two thicknesses (Instrument Serif, Space Mono, Pixelify Sans), so some weights still look the same on those.
  18. better

    Long badge collections fold up neatly

    • If you have a lot of badges, profiles now show the first 8 and a small "+N" pill instead of a huge block of icons. Tap it to see them all, tap "Less" to fold them back up.
  19. fixed

    Fixed an error when opening Templates

    • Opening the Templates gallery no longer throws a page error, and the "Since" date on profiles now shows the same month for everyone regardless of their timezone.
  20. new

    Add people to a group chat, and remove them from old ones

    • You can now add people to a group chat after it is made: open the chat menu, tap Manage Members and search by username. New people can read the earlier messages but will not see them as unread.
    • Members are shown with an Owner tag. The owner can remove people (this now works in group chats made before owners were tracked too), and anyone can leave.
  21. better

    A clearer, easier-to-read dashboard

    • Secondary text and small labels across the dashboard are brighter and slightly larger, so they are easier to read on the dark background.
    • Cards now have a soft highlight and shadow so they stand out from the page, and keyboard focus is clearly outlined.
  22. fixed

    Settings header shows your display name

    • The account card at the top of Settings now shows your display name instead of your sign-up name, and lines up neatly with your picture. The message box text is also centered.
  23. better

    A cleaner PayPal checkout

    • The PayPal subscribe buttons are now rounded and black to match the rest of the checkout, and the confusing PayPal Credit button is gone. Paying by card is still there.
  24. better

    Messages: real read receipts, edit, and safer group chats

    • Your sent messages now show a single check when delivered and a blue double check only once the other person has actually read them.
    • You can edit your own messages (hover one and tap the pencil). Messages show instantly as you send them, and if one fails you get a Retry button instead of it silently vanishing.
    • Starting a new chat now opens an empty conversation so you can write your own first message, instead of sending a wave for you.
    • Archive a chat to tuck it away; find it under Archived, and it comes back on its own when someone writes to you. Archived chats no longer add to your unread badge, and the badge no longer counts your own messages.
    • The chat itself is smoother: messages animate in, runs of messages from one person are grouped, you get a "new messages" button instead of being yanked to the bottom, loading shows placeholders, and you can filter your chat list.
    • Only a group's owner can remove members, and anyone can leave a group. Groups are capped at 20 people, and the typing indicator no longer gets stuck.
  25. new

    Subscribe to Premium with PayPal

    • You can now get Premium with a monthly or yearly PayPal subscription from the Shop. It renews automatically, and you can cancel any time from the Premium page.
    • If you cancel, you keep the Premium you already paid for until it runs out. Crypto payments work as before and never renew.
  26. new

    Eight new name effects, livelier old ones, and a new cursor

    • New name and bio effects: Gold (polished metal with a slow glint), Frost (icy letters with drifting glitter) and Decode (your name scrambles into cipher characters, then locks in). Pick them in Extras → Effects → Name effect.
    • Five new Premium effects: Galaxy (a nebula with twinkling stars inside the letters), Plasma (crackling electricity), Hologram (a flickering projection with a rolling scan band), Synthwave (80s sunset chrome) and Diamond (every letter a cut gem that flashes in turn).
    • Static now looks like real TV static boiling inside your letters, and Neon, Chrome, Outline, Cyber and Sparkles all move now instead of sitting still.
    • Cursor effects are rebuilt to be smoother. They start right at your pointer, fade out when it leaves the page, and the Cursor card has a live preview so you can try each one before you save. New: Petals and Smoke.
  27. better

    Messages use your page picture

    • Inbox search and conversations now show the picture from someone’s yen.bio page (or a generated fallback) instead of only their sign-in photo.

    Style your Telegram card with custom CSS

    • Telegram cards now have class names (.yen-tg, .yen-tg-avatar, .yen-tg-title, .yen-tg-count, .yen-tg-join and more) so your custom CSS can restyle the card, its picture, name, member count and Join button. They are listed in the Custom CSS help page.
