This release is working through the app store approval process and will be gradually rolling out over the next several days.

**New**

- Updated our emoji reactions on activity feeds — you can now respond with any emoji instead of being limited to just four.

**Fixes**

- Improved the placement and layout of the friend search bar for easier access.

- Refined and expanded the supporting text around the friend search bar to make its purpose clearer.

- Reorganized the Friends tab so incoming and outgoing friend requests now appear at the top of the list.

- Added a prompt when creating or joining a game: if you don’t have any friends yet, you’ll see a button that takes you directly to the Friends tab.

- Improved player avatar caching to improve an issue where player avatars would periodically fail to load or would only load a blank white image.
