Bluesky now has an app test version built for the iPad

Bluesky, the social network, now has a test version of its app made for the iPad. It arrived in the company's latest update. If you read Bluesky on Apple's tablet, you can try it now. Bluesky says the app should look and run better on the larger screen.

What changed

The iPad version is in beta. That means it is still being tested and may have bugs. The update is meant to make Bluesky look and perform better on Apple tablets.

The same update added other features. One of them is profile links to third-party platforms, which lets a profile point to other services. The material does not say which platforms are supported or how the links work.

Who it affects

The change matters most to people who use Bluesky on an iPad. Until now, the app may not have looked or run as well on a tablet as it does on a phone. The beta is a first step toward fixing that.

What to do

Beta software is a work in progress, so some things may not behave as expected. If you run into a problem, Bluesky has a built-in way to report it.

• Open the Settings menu in the Bluesky app.
• Go to the Beta Features section.
• Use it to send feedback about bugs or odd behavior.

What is not known yet

The material does not say how to join the beta or when a final version will be released. It also does not say whether the beta costs anything. Bluesky has not shared a timeline in this report.
