Re: the first screen, the visual glitch is a bug, but your bio character limit is a feature. We're working on solutions to get that link out of your bio, but assume it's stuck there for awhile and needs space to work 😅

On the next screen, just keep typing! We support your custom handle and PDS.

Left Germ DM on the back burner?

Germ 2.3.0 lets you pick up where you dropped off.

No do-overs, just a better re-entry 🔑🚪

No Germ app? No problem.

Tap a friend’s #GermInBio and Germ opens instantly.

No trip to the App Store. Just E2EE conversations from your Bluesky handle.

Thank App Clip for the magic 😎🌱

We’ve also shipped a new build to our beta users and brought more of you off the waitlist🌻📬

For Germ users in our ATProto beta, your friends will now have a much easier time chatting with you—even if they’re not off the waitlist yet 👀▶️
