Express yourself the way you want, using as much stuff as you want, any which way you want!
You’ve probably noticed some changes we’ve been making to the way you post on iOS and Android.
It used to be that a post could only be one thing. Maybe it was a photo post or a video post or a quote. But no matter how much a photo post also wanted to be a chat, or a chat wanted to be a song, a post could never be more than it was born to be.
That’s all changed!
Now a post can be anything you want it to be (or whatever it was meant to be).
Tap the pencil to start a new post
Add anything you want from the toolbar
Text styles are under the Aa
Highlighting text brings up the color changer
This is posting the way it should be: Free from formats and constraints so you can express yourself the way you’ve always wanted needed to.
(Coming soon to the web!)
so you’re saying you just screwed over mobile users by no longer allowing them to post photosets, quotes, chats, etc, and by default everything is made into a text post, which means the /archive will no longer work to when it comes to separating text posts, photo posts, etc, AND you’re planning on bringing this crappy this to DESKTOP TOO???? which means all the beautiful photosets and gifsets that people have made for years will no longer be able to be made??? hard pass, we hate this
edit: since some of y’all seem to want to argue with this, the whole point is that WE DON’T WANT EVERYTHING TO DEFAULT INTO A TEXT POST. not that posting photos from mobile is a bad thing. in fact, being able to add multiple photos is a good thing. however, this mobile update has STOPPED OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SOLELY POST TYPE-SPECIFIC POSTS (photo posts, quote posts, video posts) AND TURNED THEM ALL INTO TEXT POSTS, thereby rendering “separate by post type” absolutely useless. frankensteining posts is great, but they will ALL BE TEXT POSTS, as far as this update has allowed us so far. for content-creators like me, this update sucks.
IF YOU TRY TO REBLOG A POST WITH PHOTOS THAT WAS MADE ON MOBILE, it will automatically reblog it AS A TEXT POST. in addition, it will also force all of the photos into a straight line, instead of the way the OP intended the photos to look. EXAMPLE IN THIS POST. it’s ugly.
Just adding to say that this a terrible fucking idea tumblr and I don’t want them to think that I’m reblogging this because I think it’s a good idea. :~)
