As of now, the link is still on 6.47.5. Which region are you guys in that is version 7? Let me vpn over there

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

You might have to borrow a Google Play Store account.

I use Molly on fdroid. I do have signal but it's the apk version so I might have to tough it out

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Does Molly work for that? Looks like they updated to 7.0 to me.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I don't see the new username update in Molly yet

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

At the risk of sounding like a broken record here, can you confirm what version you have? I see 7.0 is released, but 6.47 is recommended.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ah ok. I didn't check in settings. It is 6.47 foss

Edit: oddly enough, in fdroid it shows I'm on 7.0.1

Edit 2: ohh so I have 2 versions of molly installed hee hee.

Neither of them let you set your username though? Interesting. When the functionality arrived for me, it was announced via a popup that showed at the bottom of the app as soon as I updated. But it might not roll out to all 7.0 users at once either...

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

It works for me on 7.0. I am able to make a username but I have yet to use it as my friends probably don't have 7.0 yet

Seems like they are generally not available on Android yet. Not even on the Google Play Store

[-] madd0ck@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it seems to be out for everyone on Google Play now

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

This looks like a rolling release, so some people will have it and some will not.

I set up a username a few days ago, but I had to opt into the beta on googleplay (I really wanted a username, fucking finally)

[-] Alk@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I was able to set my username today on the desktop windows app but it prompted me to. I can't find where to change it on that or android.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

On android its under settings > tap on profile pic

[-] Alk@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Guess I don't have access to the feature yet. And I have the beta version too.
