We’re excited to introduce a brand-new way to personalize your posts on UniWave — Custom Post Flairs!

Flairs let you add a unique animated Microsoft Fluent emoji along with a short label (up to 30 characters) to your posts. They’re a fun, eye-catching way to express context, mood, or style right at a glance.

🔧 How it works

  • Pick your emoji: Choose from the full set of animated Fluent emojis.

  • Add your text flair: Write up to 30 characters — think of it like a mini caption for your post.

  • Stay safe: Flairs must follow our Safety Guidelines (no swearing, offensive content, or harmful text).

🎨 Why use flairs?

  • Add personality and color to your posts.

  • Help others instantly understand the vibe or topic of what you’re sharing.

  • Stand out in the feed with animated expression that feels yours.

🚀 Try it out today

Next time you post, look for the Add Custom Flair option in the post creation screen and start customizing. We can’t wait to see the creative ways you’ll use them!

Custom Status lets you share a short message and optional emoji that appear alongside your name on UniWave. It’s a quick way to let others know what you’re up to, set the tone for your profile, or just add a personal touch to your presence.

Whether you want to show you’re available to chat, busy working, or simply feeling a certain vibe, your custom status helps communicate that at a glance. You can update it at any time, and it’s visible to everyone who can see your profile.

To learn more about them including how to set your own please take a look at the Custom Statuses article we made on our help center!

Milo AI has gotten it’s first large update since introduction and we are excited to tell you about it!

Milo’s Suggested Questions

Milo’s AI summary button on posts now has Suggested Questions. It will take the content, author, time and date including other posts related to the one posted and compile all that information and figure out what you might want to know!

For example take a look below at what Milo is suggesting about the post revealing our brand new Nameplates feature!

Milo now has Memory

Milo can now remember important things about you, build up an dictionary of information so it knows how to speak to you, how to support you and what you like talking about. For example below here I told Milo I love UniWave and now it will remember that in the future but you can use it for remembering your real name, local area and much more!
