Greetings 3Speak Community Members,
Here's @sagarkothari88 with a new update for the 3Speak mobile app. We're releasing a new version of the Mobile app for both iOS & Android users. Please find the release notes listed below.
What's New in Release 1.3.1?
Portrait Videos
- This was the feedback from many users - @tibfox, @neopch, @starkerz, @rishi556, @brianoflondon, and many more.
- Not playing portrait video properly in the app was a poor experience.
- With this feature, the Now app will detect the size of the video first & based on that, set the video player size & scale-ratio accordingly
- Here is what a portrait video detail page would look like.
- As you can see in the screenshot below, the height for the mini-player is more for portrait video. As a user, you can always switch to full screen.
3Shorts > Portrait Shorts
- @tibfox, @neopch & many other users kept pushing me to integrate this feature.
- Thanks to @vaultec's mentorship, I was able to integrate a solution with which an app can detect video resolution before playing
- Now, everytime you play a 3Shorts, portrait shorts will be detected & 3Shorts player will scale video accordingly
- Here is the screenshot of a 3Short from @tibfox featuring @arcange
Refresh 3Shorts
- This was the feedback from @starkerz
- Before this release, users were required to go back & open 3Shorts again to reload 3Shorts.
- With this refresh button, users can now easily refresh 3Shorts
Access your account easily
- This was the feedback from @starkerz - difficult to find "my account".
- Added a button on the Dashboard to access your account easily.
- With a tap, you can now go to your account.
Share Button
- Added a Share button on Video Details Page.
- This was the feedback from @starkerz.
- Here is a preview of how it would look.
Refresh My Account Videos
- This was the feedback from @starkerz3
- Before this release, users were required to go back & open My Account again to reload contents.
- Users can now easily refresh My Account Videos with this refresh button.
Preview Before Publish
- This was the feedback from @rishi556.
- He suggested that the user should be able to see the video preview before publishing.
- I added that feature based on input to him.
- Credit goes to him for those who like this feature (@rishi556).
- Here are the screenshots of how it's going to look like.
Refresh feeds easily
- This was the feedback from @starkerz.
- Not being able to reload the feed was a pain for users.
- Home Feed, Trending Feed, New Feed, First Uploads - all support Pull down to refresh.
- Here is what it's going to look like.
My Account > Play My Videos
- It was feedback from @starkerz & many other users.
- Users could not play videos from "my account" before this release.
- Now, with this latest version, users can play videos from My Account.
- Here is how it would look.
3Shorts > Landscape Shorts
- @vaultec guided me on how to integrate this.
- Now, everytime you play a 3Shorts, landscape shorts will be detected & 3Shorts player will scale video accordingly
- Here is the screenshot of a 3Short from @louis88 featuring @starkerz
Automatic Publishing
- In our recent post, we announced that starting from June 15th, 2023, the videos you upload will be published automatically.
- Due to this few users like @virginianavas1 and @jaydr were in an embarrassing situation because they accidentally uploaded something.
- Starting from July 1st. 2023, all the videos you upload will be published as soon as processing is complete.
- So, I request users to be careful when uploading the videos.
- Only upload videos that you want to publish.
- I'm also thinking of a feature in the mobile app that would ask the user at the time of upload - Auto-publish or Manual-publish.
Unwanted links
- Links added to the bottom of the post are unwanted links.
- @vaultec suggested removing those.
- Those links look good on @ecency.
- But it fails to render properly on peakd.com & hive.blog
- I've decided to remove those links from the post template.
@ecency <=> @threespeak integration
- I am working closely with @good-karma & @adesojisouljay to complete the @threespeak integration to @ecency.
- A couple of API changes that were needed & suggested by @ecency.
- I'm implemented all of those suggestions on 3Speak-Creator-Studio & unblocked them.
- You can find those details in the post below under the Legacy Creator Studio Updates section.
Legacy Creator Studio Updates
- DApps API now supports setting beneficiaries.
- DApps API now supports setting 50% HP or 100% HP or Decline rewards.
- DApps API now allows community selection for AutoPosting.
Legacy front-end updates
- I wrote a cron job to update the video metadata - height & width.
- I also wrote a cron job to update the posted videos' status but stay in the
publish_manualstate. - I updated the cron job to auto-publish the videos & set the start date to July 1st, 2023.

After processing is complete, starting from Jul 1st, 2023, uploaded videos will be published automatically (only if you've given the posting authority to 3Speak).

Lots of updates released for the app. Great work done. I am going to update the application now.

Thank you for motivating words @jonsnow1983
Awesome! Keep up the good work @sagarkothari88
Thank you so much @neopch
Amazing, I've tested the app first hand, I'm glad the functionalities on the web, are being added to the app. Good updates
Thank you so much @josediccus for trying out the app. Please keep providing feedback to make the app best of the best.
Amazing. Flutter or React Native?
Hey @infinity0
It's mix and match of Flutter, Swift & Kotlin.
Great!
Cool stuff, 3speak!
Cool indeed. Thank you. Kudos to the Team.
Kudos to you too, Sagar! You're welcome!
You are doing a great job with the application, congratulations. And thank you for such hard work.
Thank you so much. It's a team work.
Kudos to the Team & community members.
Please try app & keep providing feedback.

This is incredible work. As the native video-publishing (and hosting) platform for Web 3, 3Speak should be all over the marketing game, giving side-by-side comps with YouTube, Rumble, Vimeo, and Twitter as to how accounts are managed and who owns the data, because I believe that there will be another great exodus of users from YouTube as they implant ever more ads into their UI and charge more money for the paid services. 3Speak only needs integration with Vimm for livestreaming and the video super app for the SPK Network could be born.🤝
Thank you @mercadomaestro for motivating words.
Kudos to the team.
Great new updates, I'll update the app on my device and try out the new features. Great work :)
Thank you so much @takhar
Please update the app, try it out & share the feedback if you've any.
Wow, these are all superb observations and very well replied to. I look foreward to downloading the latest app and using it.
Thanks so much @sagarkothari88 and @threespeak
How about scheduled posts? This is something most video platform apps don't have, if we could get that, its gonna be really good.
Hey @jaydr
Thank you for motivating words.
Kudos to team.
Scheduled posts - added to the list of to-dos.
Can't wait for this feature. This is actually the only thing stopping me from using this regularly outside of testing. I usually listen to videos on the go or do other things on my phone simultaneously, and the ability to have them continue playing when screen is off or I'm using a different application is crucial to me.
On the same note, is miniature video player on the roadmap as well, similar to how youtube premium works when you're watching a video and going to the home screen (i.e. video keeps playing)?
Another feature I'd love to see is to continue a video from where I left off. Sometimes I click "back" or on another video by mistake, making me lose where I was. Probably not very easy to implement, but it sure would make my life a lot easier :)
Super impressed by and thankful for what your building here. Hats off to the amount of effort and improvements you're able to implement each version.
Thank you so much for detailed feedback.
This would be Android only feature. So far, I am able to play the audio in the background but I don't know how to have controls over it - e.g. stop it, fast forward, etc.
This is something challenging but yes, I'll add that to my to-do.
Thank you for the feedback & keep providing more inputs. I'll work on it.
By the way, this feature is already available for iOS Users
It seems very valuable work is being done, and great success is being achieved. Kudos for your successful efforts!
I am wondering if automatically publishing any files uploaded might be problematic. You pointed out some folks had published material they had not intended to by uploading files. It will always be the case that files are mislabelled or mistakenly uploaded, and people may not discover this has happened until after the upload is complete. Certainly there may be discovered that material needs to be edited after it has been uploaded, from time to time. Requiring a separate decision to publish an uploaded file would prevent some accidental releases from happening, and I think this would be a benefit to your community, while not being difficult or costly to implement.
Thanks!
Thank you for the motivating words.
Yes. I'll integrate an option - Publish manually or Publish automatically - after upload.
With that user will have clear choice on what to be done for the uploaded video.
It's on my to-do list & I am working on it.
Wow tenía tiempo sin entrar a hive y me encuentro con esto! QUE GENIAL me parece la idea, hay cientos de apps que no son tan útiles así que me alegra que estén desarrollando esta idea! Sin duda la probaré.

Please guide me. I want to reupload my content from my YouTube channel to 3speak in order to boost my earnings as I am missing out on earnings from 3speak. This I will start after 10 to 11 days after my blacklist from hivewatchers is removed. However I will ask which I have been asking over and over again when will 3speak have YouTube sync integration? if they are planning such a development please let me know so I wait for it instead other wise I would have no choice but to manually upload my YouTube content to 3speak of course giving source of the uploaded content as well as hivewatchers told me even creative commons 0 content must be given source. Help please help.
