There's still an issue/bug on @loops by @dansup that when you go to Notifications -> Someone's Profile and then click the back button at the top of the screen, it takes you all the way back to the first video in your feed, instead of taking you back to where you just came from, which should be your notification screen.

It's not a major bug, but it's certainly an annoying one when you're trying to go through your notifications and check other peoples profiles for various reasons.

@tim You know, I've thought about this very thing and if he would even attempt to do it or not.

@mike

@mike He's already served 4 years as President, so this is his final 4 years in office. It's simply not allowed that he won't be able to be President again after this 4 years is up. So yes, it will be his last rally, by law.

@mike Oh absolutely not. You get 2 terms, regardless if they are consecutive or spread across 2 decades or anything similar. Eight years(two terms) total is the limit.

If we can make it through this 4 years, then we will hopefully be in a much better place.

@dansup With regards to the newest iOS @loops build, couple of things I noticed.

1: When I go to Notifications and if I go to a profile of someone from my notifications, when I leave that profile, I go back to the first video on my feed(still doesn't refresh and gives me the same video I already saw), instead of taking me back to the Notification screen.

2: There is still no way to refresh the feed other than closing the app out of recents and starting it again.

@dansup I too have to do this and it's very annoying. Apps like TikTok, since Loops is a competitor to that platform, the videos play sound even if that switch is off.

It would be nice to follow suit of what other apps do to keep things consistent across the board.

@Mrfunkedude @Colby

@countablenewt Sadly, we can't search for users on Loops yet, so we have to hope your videos show up in our feed for us to follow others.

Hoping that is something that is added super soon as it's quite difficult to find the people we really want to follow.

@loops @dansup @pixelfed

@dansup LOL I just realized I needed to do that via TestFlight.

Thank you so much.

@stu @loops

@dansup Where or how do we change our profile picture within the app on iOS?

I'm not seeing a way to do that as it's just some gray default image for me currently.

@stu @loops

@stu I got my email, as I posted a few minutes ago.

But, I can't log in via the app on iOS yet, as it's telling me I have the wrong credentials, even though I'm signed in on the website and reset my password.

@dansup @loops

@dansup Please, I am begging you PLEASE, allow us to provide more than 80 characters for our BIO on the @loops app.

While we don't need 500 characters, 80 is just a bit too few. I need 120 if possible, please!

Sincerely,

Your newest Loops member!

@sam @dansup When did you sign up for Loops? I signed up back in April and I just got the same exact email.

I'm pretty disappointed as well and not really understanding why we're receiving these emails instead of the ones with the important information.

Have any of you gotten your emails as of yet or seen any update on the situation?

I've been checking my inboxes and my SPAM boxes and nothing here on my end as of yet.

It really seems like those of us that signed up months ago aren't getting access ahead of others.

@Mrfunkedude @loops @beardedtechguy @steve @dansup

@beardedtechguy I too signed up several months ago and have yet to receive my email to get signed in and get the app installed.

Yet I've seen others who appear to have only signed up last night and have already gotten their emails, signed in and are using the app already.

Kind of upsetting and kind of disappointing if that is the case.

Though I know Dan is working diligently with tons of work, so here's to hoping I get said email super soon.

@steve @Mrfunkedude @dansup

@Mrfunkedude Definitely a good point and something I've thought about. Would just be nice to have a bit more communication from Dan and/or the @loops account directly as to what's going on.

@beardedtechguy @steve @dansup

Good for @taylorlorenz for getting away from the Washington Post, a publication I've personally never liked.
