What happened to the activity feed?

question
1

Before the ios26 update the activity feed was an electric symbol in the top right of the Home Screen…which is now a blank spot on the interface?

In a submenu I see “interactions” for which the first tab never loads anything, just spins for several minutes. And the second tab “your activities” after a minute or two shows stories I’ve shared. Am I looking in that wrong place to see comments on shared articles/replies etc?

It should be there in the Interactions menu option. If it’s spinning, that’s a bug. Let me take a look…

Yep, you’re right, both spin forever. I’ll get that fixed in the next release. Thanks for letting me know!

Just FYI, I moved the status of sync and offline story downloading from the bottom to the top right, where the interaction button is. Honestly, no one ever uses that button. A few users do, but they use it very infrequently, so I moved it to the menu.

Fix is out in the next iOS app update, which I’m submitting tonight.

Thanks as always! Yeah figured it disappeared from the prime location for a reason, glad it’s not totally gone though. Now there’s a lot of prime real estate empty at the top status bar though! Oh the possibilities

Did this fix ever make it out? Both still just spin forever for me, on 14.7

That’s strange, I did fix it but you’re right, it’s broken again. I’ll take a look.

Found the regression. The Interactions sheet could refresh before its views had loaded, which left both tabs stuck on the spinner. I checked and both Interactions and Your Activities load again. Should be out in the next week or so.
