why do i need to update the app so i can see changes. Whats the point of a change log then? I have auto updates off cause it a hassle to revert back to an earlier version if I dont like the changes. I know for a fact the ig update is for their new stupid map feature and AI shit. I will not update unless it stops working completely. Is it so hard to say what specific bug was fixed and what exactly do you mean by performance.
why cant it be detailed like this
changelogs should be legally mandated on app stores
Modern mobile app development almost always releases features gradually behind feature flags, so changelogging things is not necessarily practical to do.
Why not? Put "added feature XY, staged rollout in the coming X days" in the changelog.
Certainly better to know that there is a new feature and you might get it now or some time later, than some nonsense like "nothing says fall like financial progress"
Well, you might be inclined to not roll the feature out at all, depending on the results you see from the rollout/an A/B-test. Also, having it written out with a date in the changelog binds you to that date, unless you want the embarrassment of not shipping on a promised time. Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.
I agree that getting cute with the changelog messages is a bit stale. Might as well not add anything at that point.

I feel this in my bones. Our biggest device contains hundreds of apps and firmware. We generally update the apps and firmware together. It's nearly impossible to summarize the changes in a meaningful way. What issues were fixed? Likely a few hundred. What new features were added or improved? Another big list. Management thought AI would magically solve this problem, but it turns out that it has no idea which things are worth mentioning vs which should be glossed over.
It sucks both internally and externally.
Thank you – I will be less frustrated next time I scroll through the iOS App Store change logs.
Youtube also does this. Basically it says "To see list of changes, look in the app guide" or something like that; no morons, I want to know what you changed BEFORE updating.
I think a lot of times they don’t want you to know what’s been updated. For instance, pointing out all the bugs you’re fixing might make your app look like it’s always full of bugs. Or the security fix might draw attention to issues that exist for currently outdated apps.
Not saying it’s a good reason, but maybe that’s their thought process.
Isn't Chime a predatory lending app?
i dont know if they do lending but the banking side of it is convenient enough. I use it to send/recieve money to my parents cash app is too complicated for them, i dont use it as my bank account.
"Mariah thawing"
That's grim
She needs to be defrosted from her summer stasis in time to sing about Christmas.
Though in all seriousness, it's sad to think that enough people saw that AI slop of an update summary and thought, "Yep, that sounds better than anything I could've come up with. Let's run with it."
This happens when the developers are incompetent. The app should probably be avoided as the people making it have no clue what they are doing.
Also happens with some apps on fdroid. "Update available" - click to see, nothing there
I asked this on the Motorola sub when i first got my phone and no one gives a shit.
The changelog was always something like "various bugfixes and stability updates". removed, what did you do?
Hey I think your instance censored your post in case that’s unpalatable to ya
(Prob was a word I personally never use heh but the removal is grating anyways, oddly enough)
I know and it's annoying that I can't say female dog
A developer here, I usually list user - facing changes in the Changelog.
Even if the changes are not listed, general "bug fixes and performance improvements" is a worthwhile update too. These updates can contain fixes to annoying UX glitches, or really speed up the app, if a new faster API endpoint was added to the backend, and app change is needed to make use of it. You will also get security updates, to the app and its bundled libraries which is important nowadays.
Because there's a very strict character limit on the Google Play store side for update messages. So if it's a bigger update, all I can do is put a summary of the changelog there.
That sucks
I just want the changelog....
I am sure you can automate that in your ci cd thingy
It least Instagram straight up doesn't give a changelog, rather than letting you read dumb exposition that tells you nothing. (Thats still crap tho)
That's been a joke in the Playstation community for years now:
"Stability Improvements."
Well, shit, we must have the most stable system in the universe at this point...
Pumpkins and... hay...?
Also fuck all these ads reminding me its going to be cold soon.
Change long Probably be like
-- Fixed typo that corrupted the database
-- Fixed hardcoded credentials
The first one is cute one time. When it starts to become a pattern, it’s laziness. Especially when it’s copypasta, which it usually is.
Change logs are kinda hard to do in a CI/CD environment because of the way that development style works.
It's actually pretty challenging in general. Not sure you've ever built a change log before but it's a pretty interesting exercise thats easier said then done. Even open source logs just copy paste the commit log which can be not all that helpful.
People deserve to know what they are installing on their device. Period
Hey just due to your mention of Insta thought you might wanna take a look at this
https://www.distractionfreeapps.com/
I've used it for a good while now and really like it but outside of that not an expert in terms of security or features. But it stops the updates, and I can choose to switch off pretty much everything and purely use it as a messaging app.
ooh that could be good, i only use Instagram to message my friends anyways. Deleted everything on there.
"Fixed errors in the French translation" might only appear in the French change log.
Whats New in this Textra update?
Bug fixes
Improvements
Slack does this all the time.
AFAIK discord does it on the app.
But its more convenient if they added it to the changelog.
