A big release focused on **speed** , a new **board view** , and a long list of fixes. If you juggle a lot of spaces, you’ll feel this one on launch.

## Highlights

### Much faster startup ⚡

This release does far less work at launch and loads things only when you actually need them. Spaces, chats, and members now load on demand instead of all at once — the more spaces you have, the bigger the difference, and you reach your content and see chats sooner. Under the hood we reworked how events are handled (single ordered consumer, shared subscription parsing, buffered fan-out so one slow consumer can’t stall the rest), reduced redundant vault work, and fixed one-shot commands getting lost on cold start.

### Kanban (Board) layout 📋

You can now view your types, queries, and collections as a board — group objects into columns and see your data laid out visually. It’s on by default and comes with its own layout settings menu. We also cleaned up a bunch of board-specific issues (subscription leaks, empty-board rendering, stale headers, and a frozen header when returning from an object).

### Invite sharing improvements 🔗

Reworked invites: owner-held invites, a share-within-space toggle, and the ability to reset an invite link. Invite links now behave more consistently overall.

## Fixes

- Fixed cursor not appearing in table cells
- Fixed filter options not loading for custom Tag/Status relations
- Fixed invisible select/multi-select options in data-view sets
- Unified Tag cell rendering across Set views (Grid/Gallery now match List style)
- Theme-aware text colors in grid object cells (better dark mode)
- Show TypeSet recommended properties in Set/Collection settings
- Fixed filtered collections and the Status property not appearing
- Prevented text loss in empty blocks under concurrent edits
- Share success banner’s “Open” action now actually opens the object
- Fixed URL-paste behavior in the editor (placeholder/fork-aware)
- Removed the dead legacy customize-view bar from Set/Collection

## Under the hood

- Broad performance fixes across vault, chat, discussions, editor, search, and dataview
- Snappier sync after network changes — switching Wi-Fi/cellular or waking your device reconnects faster
- Updated to protocol 0.50.17

**Full changelog:** [Release 0.48.9 · anyproto/anytype-kotlin · GitHub](https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-kotlin/releases/tag/0.48.9)

Please see the [Anytype Heart release notes](https://community.anytype.io/t/anytype-heart-0-50-17/31083) for other improvements that improve the experience on desktop and mobile.

Thanks as always for testing — let us know how the board view and the faster startup feel! 🙌

Awesome, great progress!

Now please get us the **Calendar View**. Without it, functional task-management on the go is unattainable.

Thanks.

This might be a big ask…  
Can we have Android widgets before GTA 6?

Love it a lot too. It’s a great way to group tags. And then to sort objects accordingly.

@kaye May it be that in the query/collections-raster-view it is no longer possible to click on (back-)linked items in the table to open up the view on all (back-)linked items and maybe to choose which one to jump to?

Update: Ha, it never worked on mobile just on desktop. Which is too bad, cause I am 99% of the time on mobile.

That is one reason why I wrote on [collections as easy as tags](https://community.anytype.io/t/collections-2-0-as-easy-as-tags/30573) a while a go. I just had forgotten. 😁

Multi-select tags lose previous selections when filtering and selecting a new tag

When using the tag picker (multi-select) with the search/filter feature, previously selected tags that get filtered out of view are silently deselected upon closing the picker. This happens even though the user never intentionally unchecked them.

**Another thing about multi-select tags is that since version 0.44.8, the UX has become really poor:**

Selected tags in the mobile tag picker remain in their fixed list order instead of floating to the top. This forces users to scroll through the entire list to find out active selections, which is terrible behavior for long tag lists.

- **v0.42.15:** Selected tags automatically floated to the top, always visible without scrolling.
- **v0.44.8+:** Selected tags remain in fixed order. This is inconsistent with other multi-select fields in the app, and also inconsistent with the desktop version.

On my side pasting links doesn’t work anymore. When I paste a link “as a link” it gets inserted as plain text instead.  
Is it just my phone or is it a bug in the app?

After the update my “Anytype Community” chat stopped working/syncing, am I the only one experiencing this issue?

I also noticed that bold text doesn’t get rendered if android’s bold text setting is turned on (other apps make bold text bolder when the setting is on, providing a way to correctly see highlighted words)

Is it only this one channel that has stopped syncing or have all of your channels not been syncing? We have no other reported cases of this so far.

Thanks for looking into it.

Reverting Android’s text to the normal one lets anytype’s bold text display correctly.

All other chats and spaces sync correctly, just tried these cases

- direct message to other AT user
- group chat with other AT users
- group chat with only myself
- normal objects in normal spaces

Only Anytype community seems to have that problem.

That is rather strange that only one channel is not syncing for you. Can you try leaving the channel and re-joining it to see if it triggers sync again?

I copied the group’s link [https://invite.any.coop/bafybeidgo5lr6ghdjedb6wz24ldznl62eprca3wjm5whdeo63mgp6premq#E6qftUhjpjSuuBDXzJtYhRp3QTBfP5AMHuAt9XzmHCru](https://invite.any.coop/bafybeidgo5lr6ghdjedb6wz24ldznl62eprca3wjm5whdeo63mgp6premq#E6qftUhjpjSuuBDXzJtYhRp3QTBfP5AMHuAt9XzmHCru)

And left it, but when I click on the top right “Join via QR code” appears, not giving me the possibility to input a link.

If I click on “Group” it asks me to select members so I think AT is missing a “join via link option”

Clicking the link above on my phone leads me to this screen

Left the phone unlocked on this last page for up to 5 minutes but nothing changed.

Click on the search button shows this

I am having the same issue with the Anytype Community chat not updating (on iOS running v0.48.3). It is working fine on my Windows PC. I get new message notifications on my phone, but the thread has not updated since Gleb’s post on 8/14 2:28PM - the sync spinner at the top just keeps spinning.

I’m sorry to report that after the update to 0.49 the behavior has not changed, I’m still unable to join the Anytype Community space.

My previous message outlining the unexpected behavior is unfortunately still valid in my case.

Sometime next week I should have a laptop to further investigate if the same happens there.
