It could be a placebo effect, but it does feel smoother? 🤷‍♂️ Haven’t ran into any issues but I’m also far from a power user.

I bet it feels pretty good being able to tackle a change like this. Hell yeah 👍

I just watched it from the sidelines since I moved out of product. Those poor folks tried it twice before getting blocked due to ecosystem readiness issues. Finally doing it... yeah it's great

Feels a lot smoother on iOS! For scrolling, navigating, text input. After logging in, I did need to set some settings back to my personal preferences (e.g. turn off autoplay of media) but likely that's not related to this since it's happened before.

Yeah this is good. Opening and closing images is a bit janky but that's the only thing I've noticed so far that's worse

I'm definitely dropping frames on the profile page when scrolling. Feeds feel much smoother though

less than a minute in and it feels so snappy! maybe it’s placebo. shits awesome.

Is it possible to have the TestFlight version installed alongside the current release version?
