Studio opens instantly and saves your session, challenges from any beat, a refreshed look across the app, new Home cards and the Gold Pass, plus more reliable Studio ads and crash fixes.

New

• New Home cards: announcements, suggested artists to follow, and a card to share your profile, with Apps We Love in one compact row.
• Gold Pass: watch one ad each week to unlock an hour of Rapchat Gold.
• Email sign-in links: already have an account? We can email you a link to sign in.
• Lyrics tools: undo, offline saving and search make lyrics easier to write and edit.
• Challenges from any beat: start a community challenge right from a beat.
• Studio saves your session: if the app closes, you can restore your takes.
• Now Playing comments: a new comments card, and owners can pin a comment.

Improved

• Studio opens instantly with your beat loading right inside it, and Create opens Studio first.
• A refreshed look across For You, Now Playing, beat pages, profiles, sheets and dialogs, and Featured shows which songs are Boosted.
• Studio asks before you leave a session, and you can search your private tracks.
• Free vocal effects apply instantly, and the crown only shows on premium effects that are locked for you.
• Posting is smoother: cover art uploads, the share sheet opens without a flicker, and Message sends your link by text.
• Search finds any track, links open the right profile or song, and notifications take you to the right screen, even when Rapchat was closed.
• A cleaner Settings screen, smoother sheets and dialogs, and smoother back navigation.
• Clearer offline and empty states, and faster startup.

Fixed

• Studio ads no longer lose a ready ad when account or privacy state changes during loading.
• 48 kHz beats now export at the right speed and pitch.
• Fixed crashes when viewing listeners or likes on For You videos, opening Create right after launch, and showing beat counts on some devices.
• Fixed Studio freezes when adding layers.
• Effects never wipe a take, and Studio stops its audio when you close it.
• Smoother back navigation on Android 16.
• Fixed reporting, password reset, push links and support email, plus playback, profile and stability fixes.
