Cosmetics
We're working hard to fix longstanding cosmetic issues you've reported. Each update, we'll highlight what's fixed and what's next. Thanks for reporting these as we work through them.

Mobile
New Touch Camera Smoothing Setting
Back in July (v41.20) we changed how camera rotation feels with touch input. Thanks to your feedback, we reverted it and went to work on giving you more control. That control now arrives in the form of a new Touch Smoothing setting - you can find it under Touch and Motion. It defaults to 50%, which matches the v41.20 change. If you prefer the original feel, you can set it to 0%. If you’d like smoother camera rotation, slide it up and let us know what works best for you!
Tap To Sprint From Standing
Tapping the Sprint button while standing still now starts you sprinting in the direction you're facing (with Auto-Run enabled). Previously, you had to be moving before sprint would kick in. If you run out of stamina mid-sprint, you’ll keep auto-running - tap the Sprint button again to start sprinting when your stamina recovers.

Your next Jam will automatically remember whichever access level you used last, and if you have a preferred default, you can set it permanently under Settings → Audio → Jam Tracks.
Jams Can Now Be Closer Together Jam circles can now overlap at their outer edges, meaning you'll run into the "Too Close To Another Jam" message far less often. Jams take up less space overall, so there's more room than ever to get one going.
