The new update also fixed a bug causing muted and blocked account listings to show as empty, fixed an issue that would cause an empty home screen and took care of a crash bug that would sometimes occur while interacting with threads.
New Delhi, December 27: Taking on Elon Musk-run X, Jack Dorsey-backed social messaging platform Bluesky on Wednesday announced it is rolling out a new in-app video and music player for links, along with a new “hide post” feature. In its new update, the company has introduced an in-app video and music player for links and YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Twitch embeds now play in the app.
“This will only trigger after a tap. No autoplay,” said Bluesky. The users can also hide posts if there’s something they don’t want to see again. “It will be removed from your feeds and put behind a mask if you visit it directly. This feature is in beta; hidden posts are not yet synced between your devices,” the company informed.
