Updates & Feedback
This page tracks what's changed in The Social Circle™ early beta and what's coming next.
Latest updates
Dec 5, 2025
- World profiles complete: Main (Social Circle), Social Lite, Circle Snap, Gamers Circle, and Circle Vision all have their own profile pages.
- Device uploads for avatars & banners: you can now upload images from phone or desktop (no URL required) for Main, Lite, Snap, Gamers, and Vision profiles.
- Friends (beta): new Friends page with friend requests, incoming/outgoing lists, and accepted friends.
- Privacy on Main Feed: posts can be Everyone or Friends only, plus a feed filter to view All vs Friends.
- Sidebar cleanup: each world has a matching “Profile” entry (Social Circle, Lite, Snap, Gamers, Vision) so navigation is clearer.
Nov 29 – Dec 4, 2025
- World visibility toggles: you can hide/show Main, Lite, Snap, Gamers, and Vision per account with clear "world turned off" messages.
- Circle Snap uploads: Snap now uses Supabase Storage so users can upload images directly instead of pasting URLs.
- Circle Vision embeds: normal YouTube videos and Shorts now embed instead of just showing raw links.
- Reports & blocking: reports flow into an admin page, and block lists hide posts/comments in both directions.
- Messages placeholder: Messages (beta) page added for the future DM system.
- Footer links: Terms, Privacy, and Beta Rules added with clear early-beta language.
- Security patch: upgraded Next.js and React to versions that fix CVE-2025-55182 for React Server Components.
Planned / in progress
- Extend friends-only privacy and filters to Social Lite.
- Add per-world friend views (e.g., Lite friends, Gamers friends) for more control over who sees what.
- Build 1v1 messaging (DMs) with simple chat threads, starting in Social Circle and Social Lite.
- Improve notifications (likes, comments, friend requests, reports).
- General layout & mobile polish and more breathing room in dense areas.
How to send feedback
If you find a bug, something feels broken, or you have an idea:
- Take a screenshot if you can.
- Note what you were trying to do (post, like, comment, upload, switch worlds, etc.).
- Email details to support@thesocialcircle.world or share them directly with the beta group.
This is still an early MVP. Things will break, move, and change. Honest feedback now makes the final Social Circle better later.
