Voyager can't open posts or display comments with it enabled, it gets stuck. Also, some user settings aren't "remembered". Any chance of a future fix to correct these problems? Thanks, I enjoy the app very much aside from these issues.

So sad to see the pervasive misunderstanding of ad targeting :(

iOS doesn’t even allow devices access to camera/mic unless the permissions have been granted; and background process barely allows applications any time to do anything, there’s just no way for it to listen to the users in background and upload that data elsewhere.

    There's no way, you say. Yet that kind of targeted ads is precisely what happens, that's what many users are experiencing with their phones, regardless of their microphone permissions. Big tech is being profoundly dishonest about their privacy with users, and don't seem to stick with their own privacy legal terms. But what I'm talking about is the browser version of YouTube. not even the app.
