Hey Pickful community,

Two updates today: the iOS v1.5.11 we previewed yesterday cleared App Store review, and we shipped a fix for a guest-only scroll bug.

🚀 iOS v1.5.11: first-launch polish, complete

Yesterday’s note covered the four small things we added to make the very-first-open more dependable — auto-retry when the network recovers, “cellular data denied” handled as its own state, no error screen flashing while a system permission prompt is up, and the loading spinner aligned with Hotwire’s. All of that ships in v1.5.11, which cleared review today. Update from the App Store and you’ve got it.

🐛 No more “Content missing” at the bottom for signed-out users

A few of you flagged a strange one: signed-out users scrolling Home / Topics / Square to the bottom would see a fragment of English text — “Content missing” — sitting at the foot of the page. Reports came mostly from iOS (where it surfaced first and most reliably), but the underlying cause is cross-client — Web, Android, and iOS guests could all hit it under the right conditions.

The root cause turned out to be a CDN cache-poisoning issue:

Some of our pages have a small element that’s only rendered for signed-in users (the unread-notifications dot on the tab bar). We use a CDN to speed up page delivery, but when a signed-in user warmed the cache, the CDN stored that “personalized” copy. Later, signed-out users received the same copy back; that personalized element tried to fetch its data, the server bounced the request to the sign-in page, and Turbo — finding no matching content — printed “Content missing” where the badge should have lived.

The fix: pull every branches-on-login-state decision out of the CDN-cached HTML and push it down into a small personalize endpoint that’s never cached and re-renders against the live session every time. Signed-in and signed-out users now receive an identical page skeleton; anything personalized only appears after the server confirms the session.

We also hardened the other elements that share the same root cause, so no related variants surface later.

💬 To the community

Stable launches + smooth guest browsing — small on their own, together they say “Pickful should feel right whether you’re new or old, signed in or not.”

iOS launch fixes require updating to the latest App Store build; the scroll fix is live on Web, iOS, and Android — no app update needed.

If you spot anything else weird, let us know — those reports keep us sharp.
