@MonaApp why not Android ?

@arunshah240 does Android have a system level API to incorporate this feature free for developers like iOS 26 did? No. That’s why not.

@MonaApp

@MonaApp Please make sure it is off by default..
@MonaApp Work this only under iOS 26.1? iOS 26.0.1 I receive this messages
@FrankB1274 The minimum requirement is set to iOS 26.0, so it should work. Maybe it’s a glitch in the Shortcuts app. Please try restarting your iPhone.
@MonaApp Ok. Restart helps. Now it works.
@MonaApp how about remembering the last position on the notification tab?
Apple Intelligence? what Apple Intelligence?
@MonaApp Glad to see that Off is an option.

@MonaApp so.. the web is poisoned with GenAI slop, search results are full of GenAI slop, and you want to automate bringing that slop to my Mastodon timeline as well?

Thanks guys, sterling work.😞 <slow clap>

@MonaApp don't push misleading slop descriptions, it is the antithesis of helpful
@MonaApp AI alt text? I’m out. I hope you at least set the default to be “Off”.
@urbanfuzzy It’s off by default.
@MonaApp Thank you for making this app the best mastodon app available!
@MonaApp Hi! I wanted to talk about notifications. Whenever someone follows me the sound pings to notify me of it, but when I go to look at my actual notifications I don't see it there. Also, whenever I try to refresh my home timeline, Voiceover stops me at the 3rd or 4th post instead of going all the way to the top. When I swipe to go to the top, it tries to read it, but voiceover keeps interupting itself and leaves me at post 3 or 4.
@MonaApp Excited to come back to Mona and test!
@MonaApp Mona app is great, can we have spring app to do same as Mona app when manually refreshing timeline it always loses place when lots of posts. Also sometimes refreshes automatically when you revisit the app, thanks
@MonaApp Hi I recently discovered Mona, and I am very impressed with it. I was about to subscribe to Pro Max, but I saw Mona 7 beta. Just wondering if my subscription will be affected once Mona 7 is released? TQ.
@s Hi, Mona Pro Max is a one-time purchase, and won't be affected by app updates.
@MonaApp I've updated the beta app today and noticed that I don't have the "Tab Bar" at the bottom. It's just gone. A bug or am I missing some kind of toggle or setting?
@niloque Is this report related to the Mac app? This will be fixed in a later update. You can access tab items from the View menu of the menu bar. You can also get the tab bar displayed by closing all divide views (Menu Bar > Window > Close Divide View).
@MonaApp Yeah, it's the Mac app and I've managed to figure out that the issue is only in the divide view. Switched to two separate windows for now and waiting for a fix. 🙏🏻
@MonaApp Looking good! The 2nd floating toolbar from pressing the lower right button, I feel that should disappear if you tap on any of the lower buttons, so if I decide I want to view my timeline I shouldn't have to tap the lower right button again to hide it
@pauls @MonaApp I like having the menu stick, myself. That said, even after just a few minutes using the beta I am _really_ missing Full Screen mode, which significantly mitigates the widget clutter. It would be a shame if that is gone for good.
@SethMilliken @pauls Thank you for the feedback.

@MonaApp Runs fine on iOS 18.6.2 ;)

If Apple releases iOS 26 RC tomorrow, I will also try it on that.

@MonaApp Installed iOS 26 and Mona was the first thing I tried. I already want to go back to iOS 18… The always visible controls are so annoying when scrolling through my timeline 😢
@MonaApp Hi team, would like to report an (possible) issue. When I get mentioned, the app doesn't show any hints on 'notification' icon on dock in app screen.
@littlesillypig @MonaApp same here, no indicators showing up
@apexnasi @littlesillypig Thank you for the report. This will be fixed in a later update.
@MonaApp Could one’s profile picture in the top bar gain some Liquid Glass effects? A shimmer on the edges like buttons in control center? Profile picture’s colors reflecting softly on the view below it?
@semikami Thank you for the suggestion.
@MonaApp Oh this looks very nice! Keep it up👌🏻
@MonaApp Mon dieu 😧 j’avais complètement zappé la bêta version 🫣 … que je viens de découvrir aujourd’hui avec une grande satisfaction !!! Je fonce tester tout ça 🤗
@MonaApp I really dislike relegating the new post button to the upper right. iPadOS, not testing iOS yet. I would much prefer having the option of that being one of the tab bar options.
@MonaApp I should clarify. I typically run Mona in a small window side by side with a news app. In full screen, Mona is fine. In a small screen, the post button position is a problem for me.
@MonaApp some feedback: on iOS 18.6.2, the home icon seems to be missing when the home tab is inactive
@exchgr Thank you for the report. This will be fixed in a later update. For now you can replace the home icon with a custom one such as “house” in the tab bar settings.
@MonaApp I guess it wouldn’t be possible, but could we have the option to switch back to non-liquid glass? This is a really smart interpretation of the new design but it still feels like a big usability step back (as the whole OS does)
@MonaApp Could you increase the corner radius of the tab bar? It looks kinda weird like this. You could also make the grey select of the tab a circle instead of squircle.
@AnimeAndVisial Thank you for the suggestion.
@MonaApp Just downloaded! So far so good—and looks amazing in Liquid Glass. Nice work! 🥳
@MonaApp 最新测试版没有全屏浏览选项(就是上下拨动时候自动隐藏任务栏)。
@MonaApp I am sticking with iOS18 for now. Just wondering if I will get the liquid glass effect if I upgrade to Mona 7? (Please tell me I will not cuz I personally hold a negative opinion toward it)
@imo Liquid Glass requires iOS 26.

@MonaApp hmm I think this update added a notification sound when I send a post? just getting the generic iOS notification sound

is there any way I can turn that off? don’t really need a sound with that big confirmation bar :p

@demize Unfortunately, it's not possible to turn it off. It's played by the system as a requirement to use the iOS 26 background processing feature, which allows the app to take extra time to upload posts with pictures and videos while running in the background.
@MonaApp It looks definitely awesome!
I love it!
