Tutorials

On first login, PixelDroid will let you follow some tutorials that show the different functions of the app. The tutorials are interactive and give some context to critical features, and are designed to show new PixelDroid/pixelfed users how to get started.

Direct Messages

There was a pretty big oversight in the last update: you couldn’t create new DM conversations! So I guess, people could only continue conversations they already happened to have. There is a new button in the Direct Messages activity to fix that issue :)

What’s next?

As promised, we will publish an update to android-media-editor which will allow you to draw on the photos! That is almost finished, after some issues and bugs that we needed to fix it is coming along very well now. Once that is released as an android-media-editor release, it will get into the next PixelDroid and Bunny releases, which I will make in the following days.

Wishing you all a great week-end again! I’m looking forward to some well deserved vacation in the following weeks :)
