Good news for accessibility: when you’re updating post settings, VoiceOver will tell you which categories are selected. We’ll put that in the “wins” category.
We updated the new Stats screen to load faster. In the Insights tab, you can also open your latest post by tapping the Latest Post Summary card.
Finally, we fixed an issue in the Reader and Me tabs. They now show the right information after you’ve logged out of the app.

Some custom post types are now available. You can manage them under My Site if your site is built with WP.com, or on the home screen if your site is self-hosted. We know, we’re amazing. (But very humble about it.)
While we were making your day better, we also squashed several bugs and made some small, yet ever-so-important fixes.
- Canceling the media picker in the experimental block editor will no longer remove images from galleries. Phew.
- We fixed the forever-loading indicator on the Stats screen for self-hosted sites that aren’t connected to Jetpack.
- Subscriber email stats are now sorted by post date so your most recent posts will appear at the top of the list.
- Backup logs will stay in their lane and won’t show up in Personal plan sites by mistake.

We squashed a few bugs.
- Categories and tags now work properly on self-hosted sites.
- Text on the Blogging Reminders screen is visible in dark mode. No more hide-and-seek.
- You’ll no longer see an error when choosing a site from a share sheet action while your sites are still loading. We also updated the site picker design to match other areas of the app, because it was keeping us up at night.

We removed the Free GIF Library as a media source, since the Tenor service it runs on will shut down on June 30. We’re sad about it, too.
If you have a self-hosted site, you’ll now sign in to the app using an application password. If you don’t have one, we’ll automatically create one for you so it’s ready when you need it.

Who’s who on your website? Now you know—Push notifications now use gravatars so you can see who commented or interacted with your content. The Activity Log also shows when your site was updated using AI agents.
If you thought our last updates to the Stats were big, you haven’t seen anything yet.
- Today’s date is now included in intervals like “Last 7 days.” We also added a new “Last 14 days” interval.
- Incomplete dates, including today, are shown on the line chart as a dotted line. You can see them more easily in the bar chart view as well.
- Speaking of bar charts, tapping on a bar will show you the data for that date. This makes it easier to scroll through data for multiple days. Oh, and tapping a bar will no longer select the bar next to it.
- You might notice visual changes like a smaller Chart card header, smaller fonts in tabs, and reduced spacing here and there. It’s giving minimalist.
While we were at it, we made changes to the Reader, too. (Incidentally, none of them are related to reading.)
- When you view an image in a lightbox, swiping downward will dismiss it, even when you’re zoomed in.
- We fixed the color of links in comments and in dark mode on custom themes. Looking good.
- You can view media galleries in fullscreen mode. Just swipe right or left to view all images.
And because we still had a little free time, we also fixed a few details that were bothering us.
- We updated the arrow icons and spacing on the Notifications screen.
- In Post Settings, the Social Sharing card only shows platforms that the app supports.
- New posts use the default post format instead of the standard version. You can update this format in your site settings.
- If your site is self-hosted with XML-RPC disabled, you can see Posts and Pages in the app. That’s pretty important, if we do say so ourselves.
