A quick note: Thank you for being patient with us. Rapchat is a small but mighty team of one right now, and we're working hard to make this the best it can be. We're shipping new stuff every week — so please keep your app updated to the latest version so you don't miss anything. We appreciate you.

Update Rapchat on iOS | Update Rapchat on Android


🍎 iOS (v12.2.2)

Share Songs as Videos

You can now share your songs as video clips directly from the app. Choose a template, pick a duration, and post straight to Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere else. This is the easiest way to get your music out there.

Beat Uploads on Mobile

Producers — you can now upload and edit beats directly from your iPhone. This is brand new. Previously you could only upload beats from the web, but now you can manage your entire catalog from your phone — upload audio, set cover art, edit metadata, all from iOS. Learn more about uploading beats.

In-Studio Lyrics Overlay

You can now view your lyrics while recording in the studio. Scroll through your bars as you lay down vocals — no more switching between apps or staring at a notepad.

Quick Actions on Home

We added a quick actions grid to the home screen: jump straight to your Liked Beats, Liked Songs, Artist & Producer Charts, or the Featured Challenge. Less tapping, more creating.

Faster Lyrics AI

The AI lyrics generator is now significantly faster and returns a title along with your lyrics. We also fixed the scroll jump that happened while lyrics were generating.

6 New Languages

Rapchat on iOS is now available in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish. Change your language in settings — more languages coming soon.

Subscription Sync

If your Gold membership ever showed as inactive even though you were paying, that's fixed. The app now syncs your subscription status on launch and listens for changes in real time.

Bluetooth Audio Guide

Ever been confused about why your AirPods sound different while recording? We added an info sheet that explains how Bluetooth audio routing works. Tap the info icon in the studio to learn more.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a major crash that was affecting most users on launch
  • Fixed the app freezing for some users due to feature flags
  • Fixed crashes when following users from the activity feed
  • Fixed project syncing issues that could cause lost work
  • Fixed recording stability when connecting/disconnecting Bluetooth
  • Fixed playlist artwork not loading correctly

🤖 Android (v8.7.3)

6 New Languages

Rapchat on Android now speaks your language. We added support for Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish. Change your language in settings — more translations coming soon.

Better Song Exports

Songs now export more reliably. No more corrupted exports or incomplete audio files — we fixed a sync issue that could cut off the end of your track.

Beat Player Controls

Play, pause, and skip now work reliably everywhere — including inside beat playlists and collection detail views. We also fixed the record button not launching the studio from collections.

Subscription Sync

Same upgrade as iOS — your Gold membership status now syncs on launch and updates in real time. No more mismatches between what you're paying and what the app shows.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash when sharing links
  • Fixed the app becoming unresponsive on startup
  • Fixed studio not opening in certain conditions
  • Fixed timeout issues when loading ads before a studio session

🌐 Web

Help Center

We built a full self-service Help Center with 85+ searchable articles. Find answers about recording, uploading, subscriptions, and more — without waiting for a support reply.

Upgraded Beat Upload Flow

The beat upload experience on web got a major upgrade — including a built-in album art maker so you can create cover art right from the upload page. Faster, more reliable uploads for producers.

Charts

See what's trending on the new Charts page — top songs and top producers, updated regularly.

Stripe Checkout

We added Stripe as a payment option on web. Faster, more reliable checkout for Gold and Platinum subscriptions.

Featured Feed Improvements

The featured feed got a refresh so you can discover new artists and tracks more easily.


Coming Soon

Playlists on Android — iOS and web already have playlists, and they're on the way for Android. Stay tuned.
