- Dial — Dial loads faster: its backend answers each screen in far fewer database round-trips, and reuses a warm connection instead of reconnecting on every request.

in flight
Dial's app is getting steadier on a poor connection: it keeps your loaded feed when a refresh fails, survives playback interruptions, keeps the lock screen accurate, and a brief connection issue no longer signs you out.

→ ships in the next update

system status & ops
all clear, and Dial's backend reports its own slow queries and errors, so anything new would surface fast.
