Job type on work experiences [Rollout began: April 29, 2025] 

When adding a work experience to their profiles, students now must include a job type (full-time, internship, etc).

Milestone posts [Rollout began: May 2, 2025]

Students who enter a work experience on their profile are now encouraged to celebrate their new job on the feed with a pre-formatted post.

Audio descriptions for feed videos [Launched: May 5, 2025]

Creators uploading videos to the feed can now attach a secondary audio track to include audio descriptions of the video content. Students viewing the feed can toggle this on in the video player, and have the preference saved for future browsing sessions. This is now live across web, iOS, and Android.

Profile completion insights [Rollout began: May 6, 2025]

Students using the iOS app can now track how complete their profile is via the Insights tab. The profile completion screen includes status bars for every element of the profile.
