Netizens Have Mixed Feelings Regarding Weverse’s Latest Updates
HYBE‘s K-Pop community platform Weverse is continuing to grow, which means more updates. And while it has implemented many changes with its latest update, it missed netizens’ most requested ones.
Already, HYBE and live broadcast app VLIVE are merging. Starting July 18, KST following HYBE‘s acquisition of VLIVE. Weverse plans to expand its offered services through the implementation of VLIVE’s features and technology to enhance the fan experience.
We're Starting a New Verse – Weverse
Enjoy Every Moment with Artists.

Yet, even before then, Weverse has made changes to the app. So, it is encouraged users to update for a better experience.
There are quite a few changes with the recent update. From interface appearance to the ability to upload videos…

New weverse updates are cool but Please also want these in addition too :
• Fast notifications especially if someone is live.
• Better in-app translations.
• Filtering of spam accounts / comments.
• Dark mode. pic.twitter.com/Vio6myqmXy— anju⁷✰ (@jjksceo) July 18, 2022

Yet, one that has stood out to fans is the automatic translations of idols’ posts.
im happy that they also fixed the translation. pic.twitter.com/0xMWtbiDHe

now weverse is more organized especially the translation is more better and accurate thank god 😭

Previously, it was a reoccurring joke that the automatic translations would be nothing like what the artist intended to say. Instead, it could sound humorous or even scandalous. Or it was just straight-up difficult to understand.
Now, the translations have been improved, and you can see the difference between the old and the new.

Yet, despite all of the changes made, there were a few that netizens wondered why weren’t they made.
Not only is it still complicated to find other users on the app and make connections…
Ah I can’t find your post on weverse because you didnt use any tags (weverse search function doesn’t let you search by user it’s so annoying). If you can repost with tags I’ll go cheer!

But many are frustrated over the lack of “Dark Mode.”
Weverse update. Looks better, still no dark mode though… 😔 pic.twitter.com/RD0eFr1U1W

It’s unanimous that netizens prefer a darker interface.
Weverse please. PLEASE allow an option for dark mode! My eyeballs will thank you!

With our frequent usage of social media these days, it is practically essential to have a “Dark Mode” option that allows you to make interfaces non-white to give your eyes a rest. Still, Weverse has not made this an option, and all users must adapt to the white interface.
All these new features on Weverse and still no dark mode 😔😔

Yet, a couple of ARMYs revealed that while on the app, it appeared black even just briefly.
WEVERSE DARK MODE??!?!?!?!??@?@???? pic.twitter.com/K3toIOqjET

They don’t know if it was a glitch or if Weverse is in the process of adding a “Dark Mode,” after all.
