Hushfeed v0.59.0 targets global TikTok 47.0.3 (com.zhiliaoapp.musically).
This is the biggest release so far. It carries everything built since 0.58.0 and the fixes for this week's bug reports.
From the tracker
- The seek bar is back for everyone. TikTok runs an experiment that hides it on every video except paid content, which is why it was missing from the feed but still there in the drama player. Show the progress bar now overrides that experiment, and a second one that hid the bar on videos TikTok hadn't marked as draggable. (#16)
- Watch history and Activity center work with the in-app browser guard on. The guard now protects outside websites and leaves TikTok's own pages alone. (#16)
- Hide the tab names above the feed, a new switch on the Feed tabs page, takes the Following and For You names off the top of the feed. Swiping between the feeds still works and the search button stays. (#32)
- Fill the screen with the video, a new switch under Playback, crops a video until it covers the whole screen. It's for phones where TikTok leaves a black strip under a 9:16 video. Fit the video to the screen does the opposite, and turning either one on turns the other off. (#29)
- Taking the LIVE tab off the bottom bar no longer hides TikTok's LIVE button at the top of the feed too. In regions where TikTok puts LIVE in the bottom bar it hides the corner button, and it kept doing that after Filter bottom tabs removed the tab, which left no way into LIVE from the feed. (#28)
- Split comment view on a folding phone now follows the fold while TikTok is open. (#26)
- Hide TikTok Shop in search, a new switch under Feed filter, takes the Products block out of search results. AMOLED dark theme works on an .apkm in Morphe Manager again. (#21)
New switches and patches
- Pause Hushfeed sits at the top of the settings. From the next start TikTok runs as if it weren't patched, so you can tell whether something is Hushfeed's doing without turning switches off one at a time.
- Wait a day to loosen the budget is new on the Screen time page. A change that tightens the budget applies at once, and one that loosens it waits for the next day. Keep a paused video paused and Leave when TikTok says time is up are new there too.
- More opens the comments and Caption above comments put the whole caption at the top of the comments. Show poll results before voting draws a comment poll's bars before you pick an answer.
- Under Feed screen, a long press on Comment, Share or Favorites can play the video at the hold speed, and the Long press row can find the sound on YouTube Music. The new Swipe-left controls patch decides what a left swipe does, and Hide the Tako bubble now covers the search results page too.
- On Feed tabs, Open TikTok on picks the tab TikTok starts on. Keep For You on a Home tap and Keep For You on a pull down stop the feed reloading under you, Show TikTok's feed buttons puts TikTok's own play, previous and next buttons on the feed, and Hide the unread badges takes the red counts off the bottom tabs.
- Feed filter adds Hide mini dramas, and Creator exceptions for accounts whose videos should stay whatever the preference filters say.
- Playback adds Speed while you hold the video and Hide TikTok's Auto scroll button.
- A save of three or more files shows a running count with a Cancel button, and a finished save offers a way to the file. Live photos saved from comments keep their motion.
- The new Network request report patch is off by default. Disable telemetry now stops the analytics uploads themselves, and Remove ads reaches the full-screen ad TikTok can open with.
Fixes on TikTok 47.0.3
AMOLED dark theme paints the right colors again and blackens the sheets and panels too. Video download quality and Save the original photos work, the daily hold pauses the video, and the two pause switches work. Hide comment popup ads stops the animation itself. The comment keyword filter reaches translated comments, a bigger caption size no longer splits words, and Hushfeed's settings survive TikTok's crash recovery.
The changelog has the full list.
