Stay Unseen 2.0.0
Current build and toolkit summary since version 1.1.1

Privacy controls and Pro tools for six social platforms, in one dashboard.
Tools accumulated during 1.x development are listed as included, not all first introduced in 2.0.0.

YOUR ORIGINAL PRIVACY CONTROLS STAY FREE
- Instagram: hide story and reel views, block DM read receipts, and hide typing indicators.
- Facebook and Messenger: hide Facebook story views, block read receipts, and hide typing indicators.
- Keep native unread markers where the site supports them.

THE DASHBOARD
- A full-page dashboard replaces the small toolbar popup, with controls grouped by platform and feature.
- See local activity totals, recent blocks, 24-hour and 7-day charts, and clearer protection status.
- Pause protection for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours, then resume automatically or whenever you choose.

OPTIONAL LIFETIME PRO
- One purchase unlocks Pro on up to three browser installations. Activate with your licence key and release a device when moving. Pro access is verified locally and refreshed through the Stay Unseen API; it is not permanent offline activation.
- WhatsApp Web: block blue ticks, hide typing and recording indicators, and hide status views.
- Threads: control presence, seen status and typing on both threads.com and threads.net.
- Download supported Instagram and Facebook videos, reels and story photos or videos, plus available voice notes in Instagram, Facebook and Messenger chats.
- Download TikTok videos using watermark-free playback media when available. Photo slideshows and watermarks added by the uploader are not supported.
- See whether an Instagram, Threads or TikTok profile follows you, with clearer results and retry options when a relationship cannot be checked.
- Use Mark Seen in supported Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp Web chats to send a read receipt when you choose.
- Use the floating status pill on all six platforms to open site-specific tools, check status, open the dashboard or hide the pill. Privacy sites also offer pause and resume. Restore the pill from the dashboard.
- Focus mode hides supported Instagram, Facebook and Threads feeds while keeping messaging available.
- Screen privacy blurs and locks Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp Web and Threads pages. The status pill stays usable so you can turn privacy off.
- Queue supported Instagram, Facebook and TikTok media downloads, with pause, resume, cancel and retry controls. Organize queued files into platform and date folders.

AFTER UPDATING
- Keep your existing installation and extension data when updating; valid Pro activations carry over.
- Reload your open social tabs. Your browser may ask you to approve access for the added websites and media downloads.
- Focus mode, screen privacy and the download queue are optional and start off. Core Instagram, Facebook and Messenger privacy does not require a Pro key.

Stay Unseen — What's New (v1.1.1)

NEW
- After an update, Stay Unseen opens the changelog page once so you can see
what changed.

FIXED
- Removed the extra red dot on stories and chats. The native unread indicators
are kept as-is: the unseen-story ring on Instagram and Facebook, and the bold
unread conversation name on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.

Stay Unseen — What's New (v1.1.0)

NEW
- Fresh new popup design with live counters for everything blocked.
- Status now shows where you're protected: "Active on Facebook", "Active on
Instagram", or both.
- "Rate Stay Unseen" link that opens your store's review page.

FIXED
- Chats now load reliably on Facebook and Messenger — no more "Couldn't load
chats" errors.
- Group chat messages no longer get stuck on "Sending".
- Instagram: sender names stay bold after you read a DM, and the unread
marker appears right away without reloading the page.

Real-Time Unread Status: Fixed local UI state so messages and stories stay marked as unread immediately—no page refresh required (Instagram & Facebook).

Hide Typing Indicator: Added option to hide "typing..." indicators on both Instagram and Facebook.

Redesigned UI & Icon: Enjoy a refreshed, modern interface and an updated extension icon.

General Improvements: Under-the-hood bug fixes and performance enhancements.
