Trakt iOS 2.7 (876)

Trakt Release Notes
1

UPDATES

  • The bottom tab bar now uses the system component for more consistent system integration (eg. on iPadOS, tabs are now at the top on iOS 18).
  • Home, Movies, Shows, and Lists tabs rebuilt under the hood including collapsed state which is saved across sessions.
  • Search has been added as a default tab.
  • Previous header burger menu actions are now found in the Profile button’s context menu (long press).
  • Watching Now status is currently now embedded in the Home tab.
  • “Collection” has been renamed to “Library” throughout the app.
  • “Network” (Profile) has been renamed to “Social”.
  • You can now Drop a Show directly from its Summary screen - expand the History button to access the action.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed some issues with the Date of Birth section of account settings not always showing the accurate date or allowing it to be updated.
  • Fixed missing context details (e.g. episode counts and runtimes) in several places, such as official list items on Summary screens.
  • Fixed an issue where the Streaming Services filter wasn’t available to non-VIP users as intended.
Full Updates Breakdown

The header areas in the main tabs have been adjusted, and the main bottom tab area has been updated to use the system component for more consistent system interactions, especially on iPadOS, which means the tabs are now at the top. As a result, some interactions have changed:

  • The previous hamburger menu actions (for profile and settings) are now under a context menu (long press) of the Profile button in the top header (which is still there, just slightly modified design).
  • Search has been moved as a default tab into the bottom bar. Some changes will be made in the near future to match the design of the other tabs more closely.
  • Renamed the edit tabs action in settings. Will try improve context in app in the future but for now it’s more of a “Preferred” tabs which will generally be applied directly on mobile width, and slightly adjusted on iPad widths (top bar) with some extra tabs included such as Profile (and search as mentioned above).
  • Context menus are no longer usable in the bottom bar, but tab editing is still available in the settings, via the Profile (either context menu or the profile screen as always). Other actions are currently only available as part of the Profile button context menu mentioned above.
  • Watching Now is currently embedded into the Home Tab. This is pending improvements and should be able to be back similar to where it was in a future update.
  • Tab titles are no longer optional.

UPDATES Continued

  • Rebuilt the Home, Movies, Shows, and Lists tabs under the hood. These are now the default tabs. All collapsed section state is saved across sessions.
  • Legacy Vertical Up Next is no longer available in Home as part of cross-platform design unification. The current alternatives are to add Up Next as a main bottom tab (via Settings), or to ‘View All’ from the home tab section.
  • Renamed “Collection” to “Library” throughout the app, and “Network” (Profile) to “Social”.
  • You can now drop a show directly from the show page - tap the + on the History button to access the action.
  • Episode and Season summary Share/More button includes the Refresh Data option that Show summary has.
  • Tapping the poster offers option to open it or the banner so that viewing the banner is not so hidden.
  • Full screen image viewing includes a ‘more’ action that offers saving/sharing, etc.

Hi!

For a moment, I hoped that by ‘The bottom tab bar now uses the system component’, you meant the new button bar with the new liquid glass style, but unfortunately that’s not the case :’(

I also find the search behaviour quite strange, and I don’t know if this is the desired one: the keyboard automatically opens (at least on iOS 26) after clicking on “search” on the nav bar, and there’s no easy way to close it apart from clicking the ‘Search’ button on the corner of the keyboard itself.

This makes it difficult to go back to the other sections with the nav bar hidden under the keyboard.

It would probably be better to open the keyboard only after clicking on the input field, leaving the user free to go back to another section or interact with the suggested recent search without having to close the keyboard first. Alternatively, there could be an easy way to close the keyboard, e.g. with a ‘close’ or ‘go back’ button, similar to what happens on the system app in iOS26.
What do you think?

Prior to the update my bottom bar was: Home, Lists, Calendar, Shows, Movies. Moving the search to the bottom bar, caused the Movies option to be removed. With that option removed - is there no way to get to the Movies screen? It’s not in the settings page on the profile dropdown. I’d love to see the bottom bar get stackable options, so I could press and hold Shows and select Movies.

I preferred the older Up Next where you could list XX number instead of having to scroll or click on the View all. We typically have 2-4 shows going at once and the older method I’d have 4 shows in the list.

Coming soon - there’s a few other things we need to fix before we can enable the Liquid Glass throughout the app but this change enables that!

This is partly left over from where Search used to be its own full screen, and I may look to remove that but an alternate way to hide the keyboard for now is to scroll the recents section. Perhaps not ideal, but I’d hope that for the most part you tapping the search tab should mean you’re looking to use the search field. For what it’s worth, tapping the search tab again while the search field is inactive will activate it as in other apps.

Yeah for now you might need to switch your Calendar tab with Movies due to us being limited to 5 tabs now with the system bar, which also means we can’t easily use context menus on the tabs anymore. Ideally we’ll find a way to improve this in the future.

Settings > General Settings Section at the top > Edit Preferred Main Tabs

This is another thing I don’t have a great workaround for given tab limits but:

Thanks for the feedback though.

Search as a tab will be improved soon.

As with other apps, you can essentially tap the search tab twice to quickly start searching.

I understand the frustration with the limited tabs but I don’t have a great workaround for that right now. If you share your tabs (or maybe you already have somewhere and I’ve forgotten) I can try suggest some alternatives.

I’ve also shared vertical up next alternatives but as you mention they don’t work for you right now. I don’t currently have any other workarounds but I appreciate the feedback.

My ios app now shows the tabs,

Up next,

Calendar,

Watchlist,

Favorites and

Search,

I now cannot see main menu and have no way to access that anymore? How can I get to profile as none of these tabs can do that, this has happened since new update.

12

Your profile is accessed by the profile button in the header: Long press it for the menu actions that used to be in the hamburger menu.

If necessary, you can edit your tabs via Settings > Edit Preferred Main Tabs.

Same here. Thought I was losing my mind.

15

Glad I’m not the only one :slight_smile:

16

Oh, I misread your initial set of tabs. yes I’ve just realised you don’t have the home tab at all, let alone the other tabs that have a Profile button. This is not meant to be possible :sweat_smile:. I’ll take a look, but I think right now the workaround would be to reinstall the app :face_with_peeking_eye:.

Edit: I’ve found the issue. I’m guessing you had your home tab near the end of your tabs previously. I will have a new build out with some other bug fixes asap.

Ok this should be fixed as of Beta 2.7.1 (880) and it’s waiting for Apple Review now and will be released via App Store as soon as it’s approved. Thanks for reporting :grinning_face:

edit: it’s still waiting for review :pensive_face:
edit 2: should be available now!

The new horizontal up next is a downgrade. Making the mobile app less usable for the sake of ‘cross platform unification’ sounds like you are forcing an Apple TV UI for iPhone users. Not a fan of this change and partly why I continue to use 3rd party apps instead of the default Trakt app.

Agreed. This is horrible to use on a phone. And it also visually looks like a downgrade too. Gone is the design - well the little rest that was still there.
