What's new in v11.81.0
For iOS 26 users, we've added support for Apple’s Liquid Glass. This latest update keeps the focus on the story, giving more space on the screen to text, photos and videos.
- Story actions like sharing, saving, listening and commenting have moved. On any article, scroll up or tap the menu in the top-right corner to see all available actions.
- Links to relevant coverage are now tucked into a dropdown at the top of each article that sticks as you scroll, so it's easy to navigate between articles in a major storyline.
- The audio player has a refreshed design with all the same functionality. Listen as you browse, pause with a single tap, or open the expanded player from the bar for more controls.
