Version 24.4
The Stats screen has a new Traffic tab. Get better graphs and access all your historical data in one place. That’s right, you’ve got data for days… and weeks, and months, and years.
Notifications got a glow-up, giving you a shinier, easier-to-use design. We also made a few changes to the block editor.
- We added support for VideoPress v5, so you should notice better performance in your video blocks.
- The app won’t crash anymore when the editor auto-scrolls down to a block. No more giving you up or letting you down.
- You’ll now see an error message when a video fails to upload to media and text blocks.
- Images no longer appear partly transparent while they’re being uploaded. All color, all the time.

Version 24.2
Dear reader, we’ve added a new look and feel for content navigation and filtering. Now when you’re looking for posts to read, you can find the best and ignore the rest.
We fixed an issue that made images and other media blink away while being uploaded. Presto, no more disappearing act.
Finally, we added new Site Monitoring menu items—including metrics, PHP logs, and web server logs—so you can keep a closer eye on your website. (Don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere.)
version 24.1

Feb 4, 2024
Version 24.1
You’ll now see a notification when you’re working offline. Media uploads to image blocks will also pause when your internet connection cuts out, then resume when you reconnect.
As an added bonus, when you manually retry a failed media upload, the app will retry all other failed media uploads in your post. Now that’s efficient.
When you select a custom gradient in the block editor, there’s now an indicator to show your chosen color.
Scrolling through your images on the Site Media details screen will make them load ahead of time for a faster experience. Or maybe they were there all along.
We added support for higher-resolution thumbnails, GIF and video playback, documents, and other file previews. (homer-simpson-woohoo.gif)
We switched up the publishing flow to give you clearer instructions. Users with the “Contributor” role will see the “Submit for Review” action instead of “Publish.” You can also trash draft posts and deleted posts without having to confirm.
There’s now a “Share” action in the site context menu so you can share your site with others.
Finally, because we live for the applause, we improved the in-app rating prompt. You’ll be asked to leave a review if you’re happy with the app, or given a feedback form if you feel the app needs work. Feedback is how we get better, so feel free to share yours!
version 24.0.1

Jan 23, 2024
Version 24.0.1
You can now get a WordPress plan with a free domain in the domain dashboard. We also made some improvements to the Site Domains screen so it’s even easier to manage your domains.
When you’re editing text blocks in the editor, your device’s keyboard will no longer disappear mid-edit. The editor will also scroll directly to a new block when you add it. Write away, friend.
Miss logging in with your security keys? Not anymore—we’ve re-enabled security keys for two-factor authentication during login. The only one getting into your account is you.
We updated the colors of the login screen to match both WordPress and Jetpack. After all, teamwork makes the dream work.
Finally, we made assorted code fixes and tackled several rare (and not-so-rare) problems that were causing app crashes. These issues were mostly related to editing tags and categories, using duplicate tags, deleting posts, and editing deleted posts. All in a day’s work.
version 23.9.1

Jan 14, 2024
Version 23.9.1
We updated the classic editor with new media pickers for Photos and Site Media. Don’t worry, you can still upload images, videos, and more to your site.
Speaking of media types—you can now add media filters to the Site Media screen. If you’re using an iPhone, you’ll notice the new aspect ratio mode, too. Both options are available when you tap the title menu.
Finally, we fixed the broken compliance pop-up that appears while you’re checking stats during the onboarding process. We also fixed a rare crash that happened while logging out. Sweet.

Version 23.8.1
We added an Optimize Images setting so newly uploaded images are optimal size and quality by default. You can also delete images, videos, and other media in the Media screen in My Sites.
Still want more media support? You’re in luck: thumbnails and original images now load faster in the Site Media screen, and GIF thumbnails are properly animated. We also added buttons so you can select and deselect your media files in preview mode.
In the block editor, you’ll only see the “ungroup” option for nested blocks if those blocks actually support it. Oh, and we added a native photo picker to the story editor.
We fixed the media item details screen for iPad users and squashed a bug on the Stats screen, so sites now open when you click their URLs. We also solved a migration issue for WordPress users whose accounts don’t have any sites. The “Uninstall WordPress” prompt now lives in your dashboard, too.
Finally, your list of site pages now loads faster. Yes, even when your site has hundreds of pages. And yes, we’re just that good.
version 23.7.1

Version 23.7.1
Buckle up, this update’s a doozy.
First off, we added the All Domains screen so you can manage all your domains in one place within the app. There’s no place like home.
Next, we made updates to Site Media.
- The Site Media screen design has better menus, file selection and sharing, and more. It even runs faster—no more jerky GIFs or stalled-out videos.
- You can use the pan gesture to select multiple media files at once. It’s also easier to swipe from one photo to another, change metadata, and delete items.
- On iPad, you can switch between square image previews and aspect ratio.
- We fixed issues with blank placeholder images, incorrect messages, document sharing, and occasional crashes.
We’re not done yet. We also made big changes to Posts & Pages.
- The Posts & Pages screen got a facelift with clean, simple display options.
- Use more advanced search features, like author and tag filters, to find the content you’d like to edit. Search also works across all authors (unless, of course, you want content from one specific person.)
- Use swipe actions to view, share, or delete posts and pages. Sweet.
- The context menu now lets you access comments, settings, and other actions for a post or page.
- We fixed issues with page refreshes and visibility, as well as a handful of crashes.
Finally, we fixed a handful of pesky problems across the app.
- The app now recognizes when you’ve finished uploading a GIF. (monty-burns-excellent.gif)
- “Hidden” posts now have a better description for their privacy status.
- The reader now scrolls to the top when you tap the status bar. Up, up, and away.
- The Menus screen properly creates menu items based on top-level pages.
- We fixed a block editor crash related to using text colors in older site themes.
- You shouldn’t run into any errors when you paste deeply nested content in the block editor. Much like onions, ogres, cakes, or parfaits, your content can have many layers.
version 23.6

Nov 12, 2023
Version 23.6
When you move a post to the trash, you’ll now see a confirmation message appear at the bottom of the screen.
We made some changes to the block editor.
- Inactive social icons and Synced Pattern titles are no longer invisible in block-based themes using dark mode. Good try, fellas, but you’re not as ninja as you think.
- In the Classic editor, you can now convert your content into blocks with the click of a button.
Finally, we squashed a mini-swarm of bugs.
- You shouldn’t run into any login issues if you enter the wrong site address on the first try.
- Incorrect HTML tags won’t show up in your post titles—you’ll only see plain text.
- When you’re adding a new domain, you’ll see a more accurate message describing how the new domain will behave.
- We removed extra controls in the two-factor authentication process that added unnecessary security measures. Logging in is still safe, but now it comes with fewer headaches.
version 23.5.2

Nov 2, 2023
Version 23.5.2
We’ve made some visual changes to the reader. You’ll notice updates to feed cards, headers, buttons, recommendations, and more. Please feel free to give us lots of compliments.
In the block editor, you can now split or exit a formatted block by pressing the “enter” key three times. The left-hand border is always visible for quote blocks, too, even in block-based themes on dark mode. And you can quote us on that.
Finally, we fixed a code issue in blogging prompt settings that caused the app to crash.

Version 23.4
We’ve been squashing bugs! (It was a lot cleaner than it sounds.)
- You can now embed URLs from X without getting a broken link. Pretty X-cellent, if you ask us.
- Speaking of links—when you use an invalid media URL, the app will now display an error message instead of crashing. Better, right?
- Contributors will now see the correct pop-up when submitting posts for review. Phew.
- We fixed a problem where non-admin users could see the plugin menu for their site. Out of sight, out of mind.
- In the block editor, the app will no longer crash when you nest too many blocks within blocks… within blocks… you get the idea. Take that, Inception.
version 23.3.1

Oct 6, 2023
Version 23.3.1
Lock screen widgets are now available on Jetpack so you can check your site stats without unlocking your phone. Just remember, with great power comes great efficiency. Or something like that.
We changed the way alerts appear when you’re inserting media into blocks from a URL. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
It’s also easier to tell the difference between placeholder text and actual content in block-based themes.
Finally, we updated the navigation in My Site so you can reach popular sections of the site faster. (Don’t love these shortcuts? Don’t worry, you can personalize them to your heart’s content.)

Sep 21, 2023
Version 23.2.2
We’ve added a new chat-based support channel with a specially trained bot that provides answers to all your app-related questions. That’ll do, bot. That’ll do. (Still want to talk to a human? As always, you can create a support ticket and talk to a Happiness Engineer.)
We added everyone’s favorite native media picker, which you’ll recognize from your Apple Photos app. Filter by different media types and search for albums and photos, no matter how many there are. That’s good news for your 3,591 cat photos.
You can now view, relocate, and remove the Jetpack Paywall block in the block editor.
We moved the “Me” button to the bottom tab bar, which comes with a few small design tweaks. The Social Link block also includes an outline so you can see when it’s selected.
We removed the “New Photo Post” shortcut in the app to create a shorter, clearer menu. So long, farewell.
Finally, we squashed a few bugs.
- You can now take a photo within the app and upload it to your site, even if you haven’t given the app full access to your photos.
- Errors now process and display properly when you run into trouble while uploading media.
- The Pages list shouldn’t crash anymore if your authentication token is invalid.
- When you’re working in the block editor, the app should no longer crash when you transform a nested Columns block into a Group block.

Version 23.1
We added a Domain Focus card to your dashboard so you can more easily transfer Google domains. (Don’t want to see this card across multiple sites? Tap the “More” button to hide it.)
We also made some changes in the block editor.
- The Social Link block now includes an outline so you can see when it’s selected.
- We fixed an issue for iOS users where custom font sizes and styles weren’t displaying properly.
- The undo and redo buttons are no longer visible in the HTML editor.
- You’ll now see hex codes for the selected color when you’re using the Cover Block color picker.
Finally, we squashed a bug that could cause the app to crash when following new sites in the Reader.
version 23.0.1
posted on 2023-08-27
Aug 27, 2023
Version 23.0.1
Version 23.0 is here! Do we look older?
To celebrate, we made design improvements across the app so you can share content on social media more easily. We’re all about that social life.
You’ll notice the new Blaze Campaign card in your dashboard, where you can see the most recent campaign, a campaigns list screen, and a campaign details screen. That’s hot.
We made some Gallery block updates in the block editor.
- We removed the visual gap that appears between selected gallery blocks and the toolbar.
- The gallery caption button is no longer visible on mobile devices.
- The correct gallery block will stay selected while you’re adding media.
You might be happy to hear that we squashed several bugs in the media picker.
- Your screen won’t flash anymore when you open the media picker.
- Media files have stopped rearranging themselves and will now behave.
- The image count no longer includes other media types.
- Thumbnail image sizes are now smaller. Faster loading, less memory—what’s not to love?
We also sped up loading time for the Total Likes stats card and fixed an issue that caused the stats screen to stall the app.
Finally, the app won’t crash when you update notifications, posts, or reader content, or when you’re cleaning up followed topics in the reader. (But wear a helmet anyway. Safety first.)

Version 22.9
We made some big changes to the block editor, including styles, colors, and icons. You’ll also find more buttons and block options in the header toolbar, including the undo and redo buttons. That’s right, you now have more tools than Batman’s utility belt.
While we were at it, we plugged a few memory leaks, improved posting activity stats, and solved an issue where the app wouldn’t work for some users after opening.
We also fixed several crashes caused by tapping blogging prompts, following sites in the Reader, and deleting the WordPress app after a successful migration.
version 22.8

Jul 24, 2023
Version 22.8

Reusable blocks are now known as synced patterns, the same as in the desktop editor.
version 22.7
posted on 2023-07-10
Jul 10, 2023
Version 22.7
We fixed an issue with the home screen’s “Work on a draft post” card. The app will no longer crash when you access drafts while they’re in the middle of uploading.
We also solved a couple of problems in the block editor.
- Right on—image blocks now display the correct aspect ratio, whether or not the image has a set width and height.
- When you’re dictating text, the cursor’s position will stay where it’s supposed to—no more jumping around. Keep calm and dictate on.
version 22.6.1

Jun 26, 2023
Version 22.6.1
WordPress.com plans are coming to the Jetpack app. Get the plan that’s right for your publishing needs and manage it in the same place you write all your best words.
There’s a shiny new “Personalize Home Tab” button at the bottom of your site dashboard where you can customize your visible dashboard cards. (Want to hide the cards you don’t need? Just use the “More” menu.)
We removed a bug in devices running iOS 16 or later, where typing in the block editor while dictating caused the dictated text to be lost. There’s also a lock icon for disabled cells in the editor so you know when they aren’t in use.
On the “Search domains” screen, you’ll now see an error message if you choose a default domain that isn’t supported by your site. No more forever-spinning progress wheel.
Finally, we updated the placeholder text for VideoPress videos that don’t belong to your site. (Hopefully they don’t feel left out.)
version 22.5.1

Jun 21, 2023
Version 22.5.1
If your site uses a block-based theme, you can now edit your site’s home page directly from the Pages list. Raised hands emoji.
We solved an issue around setting links to open in a new tab. When typing text after this link, you can now undo and redo the text without any issues.
Visible detail settings are now disabled for VideoPress videos that don’t belong to your site.
Tap-to-edit is now available for all nested block types—no more tapping through every nesting level to reach a specific piece of content.
Speaking of nesting, we fixed a bug where merging a list item into a paragraph would remove any nested text for that list item.
We were squashing bugs anyway, so we went ahead and fixed a couple in the reader, too. When you filter your followed topics, text in non-latin languages (like Arabic) now displays properly. The Report and Block actions are also back where they belong in the post menu.
Finally, we’ve updated the design of disabled cells so it’s easier to tell when a cell isn’t in use.

But wait, there’s more! Go ahead and spin your phone right round—your keyboard and text will stay visible when you rotate your device from landscape to portrait.
Blogging prompts now allow you to see other users’ responses to specific topics. Your response is still the best, we promise.
Finally, we added a new card to your dashboard so you can easily buy a custom site domain within the app.

We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling 22. In honor of the occasion (and because you’ve been asking for it), you can now transform most types of blocks into other block types, like quotes, columns, and groups. Nice.
We made some design adjustments to the Reader, updating the “followed topics/sites” icon, recoloring the navigation bar background to match other screens in the app, and resizing the too-large title in the Reader tab. (We did that last one in the Notifications tab, too.)
You’ll also see a few small visual changes to the My Site tab bar icon and the in-app survey. And if you have an extra-sharp eye, you might notice the dark background color of toolbars and top tabs is now consistent across the app.

We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling 22. In honor of the occasion (and because you’ve been asking for it), you can now transform most types of blocks into other block types, like quotes, columns, and groups. Nice.
We made some design adjustments to the Reader, updating the “followed topics/sites” icon, recoloring the navigation bar background to match other screens in the app, and resizing the too-large title in the Reader tab. (We did that last one in the Notifications tab, too.)
You’ll also see a few small visual changes to the My Site tab bar icon and the in-app survey. And if you have an extra-sharp eye, you might notice the dark background color of toolbars and top tabs is now consistent across the app.

Aug 21, 2022 Version 20.5
We fixed a bug in the app’s Stats section—when you’re looking at lists of search engines that have sent visitors to your site, you can now see nested results, just like you would in your browser.
Hitting the @ key when you’re writing a comment still brings up a list of suggested users you might like to tag, but now those users are split into groups. If you’re responding to a parent comment, the comment’s author appears at the top of the list, right next to the post’s author.
Now that the app supports higher-resolution image previews, we bumped up the size of theme screenshots in the site theme picker. No more pixellation, only pixel perfection.
We changed some visual elements in the editor from green to blue. It now matches the visuals you’d see in the WordPress app.
Finally, no more zeroes in your weekly roundup—if you don’t get any post comments or likes this week, we won’t include that number in your device notifications. Positive vibes only.
version 19.8.1

May 20, 2022 Version 19.8.1
When you Follow Conversation in Reader post cards and post details, in-app notifications are now opt-out rather than opt-in.
We replaced the quick-start prompt when you log in as an existing user. Now you can tell us what you’d like to focus on and enable notifications for things like site traffic, new followers, and other milestones. Cue confetti.
Ready for the grand tour? We made some tweaks to the Stats and Reader tours in the Quick Start section. Now you can move through the tours more smoothly and get more pointers and messages as you go.
We also made some sweet, sweet changes to the Block Editor.
- You can now adjust Featured Image settings for any posts in a Latest Post block.
- You’ll see the correct notices when you’re fast-switching between HTML and Visual mode.
- Media previews are no longer cut off when you edit a URL in an Embed block.
- If you’re using an iPad with an external keyboard, you’ll no longer see extra space between the toolbar and the bottom of the screen. Mind the gap.
version 19.7

May 2, 2022 Version 19.7
We made a small but mighty change to the block editor: the “Add Block” button is more visible when you first open the editor with no blocks selected. We also removed one of three error notifications when a media or audio block fails to upload—it felt like overkill.
You’ll hear some accessibility tweaks in the VoiceOver experience when you’re rearranging menu items. Instructions and notices are clearer, and the menu hierarchy makes more sense out loud.
We added a new screen to the site creation process where you can enter your site’s intent. We tested this screen with a small group of users, and we think you’ll like it, too.
Web previews won’t cut off bottom-of-the-screen notifications when your browser toolbar is visible.
What’s in a name? Well, if your site has one, you’ll see it in the My Site navigation title.
When you swipe left on a comment in your Notifications, you won’t see the “Trash” option anymore. Instead you’ll see “Unapprove Comment” and “Approve Comment.” We approve.
version 19.6

Apr 18, 2022 Version 19.6
Big news, site fans—your My Site screen just got better. You’ll now see two new tabs you can switch between: Site Menu and Home.
The Home tab also contains handy cards with more information about your site, including drafts, scheduled posts, and today’s stats. Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can easily head over to another section of the app.
We’re all about clear communication. That’s why we’ve added new error text to the photo upload process, just in case you try to upload a photo from your device without giving the app photo permission first.
Finally, when in-app notices pop up, they now fade out more smoothly when you don’t need them anymore. Exit stage left.
version 19.5

Apr 3, 2022 Version 19.5
We updated Comment Notifications with a spiffy new look and feel. (You might recognize it from My Site Comments!) The Quick Start design in your site menu and dashboard is rocking a new look, too.
When you’re creating a new site and entering the domain name, you should now see a more accurate error message if you try to use non-English characters that aren’t letters or numbers. We also tweaked the upload error text in media upload blocks.
Not sure if you’re looking at an image or a GIF in your Image block? No need to wonder anymore—animated GIFs now come with a GIF badge.
We also made a few bug fixes while we were under the hood.
- Good news for all those orphan comments out there—we squashed a bug where comment replies got lost after their parent comments were unapproved.
- When you switch between sites on an iPad, you won’t switch between sidebar nav items, too. You’ll be looking at the same menu item you left on the previous site.
- Block setting changes to ordered lists now appear in the editor, not just in Preview.
- We fixed a keyboard issue in the WP.com account creation process. If you start entering a magic link password and change your mind, you can dismiss the keyboard and move on with your day.

Color us excited—support for multiple color palettes is here! Add Theme and Default color and gradient palettes, or create your own Custom palette with your favorite shades. We also fixed an issue that caused theme colors not to appear and current theme data not to refresh.
For devices using right-to-left languages, we updated icon, button, and text positioning for the “Choose a Domain” screen in the site creation process. Alright, alright.
Want to see rich media like images and .gifs in your device’s push notifications? Just press and hold the notification to open a preview.
We made some tweaks to Weekly Roundup notifications to make sure they’re showing up once you’ve enabled them. Giddyup!
Finally, we added a few fixes on the Insight screen that’ll help speed things up. We also squashed a bug that bolded auto-corrected words in content block headings.
version 19.3

Mar 6, 2022 Version 19.3
Three, two, one, liftoff—the Jetpack app now allows you to use all of your WordPress.com sites, create new ones, and use the same Reader features as the WordPress app. The sky’s the limit.
Almost as exciting, notifications and comments now support .gif files. (Unfortunately, this update doesn’t fix the issue of whether it’s pronounced “gif” or “jif.”)
We fixed the flickering effect in Preview mode when you’re toggling between different screen sizes or orientations.
When you add a new Insights card on the Stats screen, your screen view will jump down to show your brand-new card.
You can now copy links to published, scheduled, and draft posts and pages using the Copy Link button above the Trash button. Delightful.
Finally, you’ll see an error message if a media upload fails for reasons other than not being connected to the Internet. This is much better than the infinitely loading progress bar you might have seen previously.
