iPad Support Introduced
Bluesky has rolled out beta support for iPads in its latest feature update. This change is intended to improve the social network's visual presentation and functionality on Apple tablets. Users can provide feedback on any issues encountered with the iPad app through the Beta Features section in the Settings menu.
External Profile Links Added
The update also introduces the ability for Bluesky users to add links to third-party platforms at the top of their profiles. This feature allows creators to connect their Bluesky audience to external sites such as crowdfunding platforms like Patreon or Ko-fi, or to their personal websites and newsletters. The new Links section in the Edit Profile menu facilitates the addition of these external sites.
Impact on User Experience
The addition of external links aims to reduce the need for 'link in bio' phrases commonly used in social media posts, providing a more direct way for users to share their other online presences. These updates represent an expansion of Bluesky's platform capabilities and user customization options.
