**Greetings 3Speak Community Members,**

Here's @sagarkothari88 with a new update for the 3Speak mobile app. We're releasing a new version of the Mobile app for both iOS & Android users. Please find the release notes listed below.

## What's New in Release 1.3.1?
    
### Portrait Videos

- This was the feedback from many users - @tibfox, @neopch, @starkerz, @rishi556, @brianoflondon, and many more.
- Not playing portrait video properly in the app was a poor experience.
- With this feature, the Now app will detect the size of the video first & based on that, set the video player size & scale-ratio accordingly
- Here is what a portrait video detail page would look like.
- As you can see in the screenshot below, the height for the mini-player is more for portrait video. As a user, you can always switch to full screen.

### 3Shorts > Portrait Shorts

- @tibfox, @neopch & many other users kept pushing me to integrate this feature.
- Thanks to @vaultec's mentorship, I was able to integrate a solution with which an app can detect video resolution before playing
- Now, everytime you play a 3Shorts, portrait shorts will be detected & 3Shorts player will scale video accordingly
- Here is the screenshot of a 3Short from @tibfox featuring @arcange

### Refresh 3Shorts

- This was the feedback from @starkerz
- Before this release, users were required to go back & open 3Shorts again to reload 3Shorts.
- With this refresh button, users can now easily refresh 3Shorts

### Access your account easily

- This was the feedback from @starkerz - difficult to find "my account".
- Added a button on the Dashboard to access your account easily.
- With a tap, you can now go to your account.

### Share Button

### Refresh My Account Videos

### Preview Before Publish
    
- This was the feedback from @rishi556.
- He suggested that the user should be able to see the video preview before publishing.
- I added that feature based on input to him.
- Credit goes to him for those who like this feature (@rishi556).
- Here are the screenshots of how it's going to look like.

### Refresh feeds easily
    
- This was the feedback from @starkerz.
- Not being able to reload the feed was a pain for users.
- Home Feed, Trending Feed, New Feed, First Uploads - all support Pull down to refresh.
- Here is what it's going to look like.

### My Account > Play My Videos
    
- It was feedback from @starkerz & many other users.
- Users could not play videos from "my account" before this release.
- Now, with this latest version, users can play videos from My Account.
- Here is how it would look.

### 3Shorts > Landscape Shorts

- @vaultec guided me on how to integrate this.
- Now, everytime you play a 3Shorts, landscape shorts will be detected & 3Shorts player will scale video accordingly
- Here is the screenshot of a 3Short from @louis88 featuring @starkerz

![screen-shot-10.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23tbPKvT59GqFWr1tdeqUK6uz5qWtrKbBUCg4ibsDWzdijaei5omy2UxXmq1DUCdX89Qb.png)
    
### Automatic Publishing

- In our recent post, we announced that starting from June 15th, 2023, the videos you upload will be published automatically.
- Due to this few users like @virginianavas1 and @jaydr were in an embarrassing situation because they accidentally uploaded something.
- Starting from July 1st. 2023, all the videos you upload will be published as soon as processing is complete.
- So, I request users to be careful when uploading the videos.
- Only upload videos that you want to publish.
- I'm also thinking of a feature in the mobile app that would ask the user at the time of upload - Auto-publish or Manual-publish.
    
### Unwanted links

- Links added to the bottom of the post are unwanted links.
- @vaultec suggested removing those.
- Those links look good on @ecency.

- But it fails to render properly on peakd.com & hive.blog

![Screenshot 2023-06-29 at 11.12.14 PM.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23t72p11rnUdwjDRubxXcL2tE7Bfm7tSjmtc3oBXe8ZcBWVKQ3PSLpbGwQNeHxXtxjdo6.png)

- I've decided to remove those links from the post template.
    
## @ecency <=> @threespeak integration

- I am working closely with @good-karma & @adesojisouljay to complete the @threespeak integration to @ecency.
- A couple of API changes that were needed & suggested by @ecency.
- I'm implemented all of those suggestions on 3Speak-Creator-Studio & unblocked them.
- You can find those details in the post below under the Legacy Creator Studio Updates section.

## Legacy Creator Studio Updates

- DApps API now supports setting beneficiaries.
- DApps API now supports setting 50% HP or 100% HP or Decline rewards.
- DApps API now allows community selection for AutoPosting.

## Legacy front-end updates

- I wrote a cron job to update the video metadata - height & width.
- I also wrote a cron job to update the posted videos' status but stay in the `publish_manual` state.
- I updated the cron job to auto-publish the videos & set the start date to July 1st, 2023.
