Linden Lab just published a blog post named Mobile Update: April 2024 – new builds, avatar updates! via the Second Life official blog. The lab have made alot of good progress over the past two months from improving avatars and improving teleports which have been at the top of the list.
New Android and iOS Alpha builds were published on Wednesday 3rd April. It’s best to update the Second Life mobile app via the app store.
The lab have now fixed issues with group chat messages. More improvements and new builds are coming very soon. Yay.
Avatar Rendering
“If your avatar depends on an avatar shape deformer, you should immediately notice the changes to avatar rendering! Avatars that didn’t render at all before, or didn’t look the way you intended, now render correctly”.
Teleports & Streaming Audio
“Teleports are also greatly improved – no more getting stuck on a loading screen! If you’re on a parcel with streaming audio, you’ll now be able to use standard audio controls to stop/start and change the volume (tap main menu > tap the audio metadata at the bottom of the screen)”.
Wider Availability
The wider availability for accessing Second Life on mobile will be announced soon. For now all Premium Plus subscribers are invited to participate.
I’m sure we will hear more details in the months ahead when more progress has been made by the mobile team at the lab.
