🌟 New
- Don’t want search engines to crawl your blog, but still want your posts to appear in Tumblr search and in-blog search? We’ve now split the existing setting for excluding your blog from search into two, letting you choose to hide posts from external search engines, Tumblr search, or both! If you previously had this toggled on or off, your existing preference was copied to the new setting.
- Speaking of search, we have increased the limit of indexed tags from 20 to 30. This only applies to new posts.
- We now have an exciting Known Issues on Tumblr doc, please feel free to check it out.
🛠 Fixed
- SMS text Two-factor Authentication codes were not arriving, and this is now fixed. For a more secure experience, we recommend using an authenticator app for your Two-Factor Authentication codes, and don’t forget to save your backup codes!
- Some ads were stopping people from scrolling for a few seconds, this has been fixed.
- With Bing’s policy change to no longer use content they index for their search engine for AI training unless opted in to, we are now allowing Bing to index posts from blogs that allow search indexing. We continue to discourage Bing’s crawling for AI training.
🚧 Ongoing
- If you’re using Avast, it’s currently incorrectly blocking the ability to use messaging in real time on the web. We’re working to clear this up with them.
🌱 Upcoming
- No upcoming launches to announce today.
