What's Changed

New Features

• Multiple accounts: sign in to several accounts on the same instance, switch between them from Home, the sidebar or the toolbar, rename them, and sync them to your other devices through iCloud; the switcher shows when an account needs attention and can be hidden outside Settings
• Subscriptions, feed, playlists and watch history now follow the selected account, and accounts can be set inactive without signing out
• Manage Invidious and Piped account playlists: create, rename, edit the description, delete, and add or remove videos; set privacy on Invidious
• Invidious watch history: videos you play are saved to the selected account's history on the server, and the History screen shows that history and can remove videos from it
• Choose where a subscription or playlist addition goes: Subscribe On in the channel menu and an account picker in Add to Playlist, covering local storage and every signed-in account
