Voyager 1.24.0 is working its way through review and should hit the stores shortly. :)
New Features
Android Themed Icon (Material You)
Voyager now has support for turning on “themed icons” in Android! Just make sure your icon is set to “Default” or “Planetary” for themed icon support. Huge thanks to @Donnnno, maintainer of the open source icon pack Arcticons for the design. (Also, Articons has Voyager support with 3 variations, so be sure to check it out!)
iOS Biometric Authentication
If you want a bit of added protection for your Lemmy accounts, Voyager for iOS now has biometric authentication with Face ID and Touch ID support. You can set a timeout before authentication is required, too!
Keyboard auto show on reply
When you want to make a reply, the keyboard should now automatically show. It’s also a bit faster to resize the app when the keyboard appears, and there’s some other small glitches squashed that should generally make replying a nicer experience. 💙
Option to turn off infinite scrolling
Infinite scrolling can be nice, but it can also be unhealthy. You can now turn off infinite scrolling (General -> Infinite Scrolling), requiring a manual click to load more posts.
Upvote on Save
You can now configure Voyager to automatically upvote a post on save (General -> Upvote on Save). Big thanks to @sharunkumar for this feature!
More haptics
Haptics have been added to radio buttons and action sheets for a more native experience.
Better video handling
Voyager should now handle more video types, and support videos in comments. Let us know if you are still seeing any videos not working!

this is the chosen one app for lemmy on iOS! amazing work and thank you!
Awesome update, thanks so much for adding biometric authentication! :)
Of course!
Could you share more details on the “better video handling” so I know what to test for? Is it specific platforms were added to auto play? Or is it reducing bugs when playing? Etc.
I’m excited to test it out. Thanks!
I misread and thought you were adding material you theme and I started to freak out then I quickly noticed the update was on the icon only and that’s almost as good, I really appreciate it!
BTW, is it possible to have the monet icon with the self hosted app? 🤔
Unfortunately need the native APIs to do a dynamic app icon. :(
I was afraid of that, well at least now I know :/
