THE DETAIL PAGE UNFROZEN

(tapping a saved drawing stopped freezing your phone)
Update 2026-09-15: Admin Found The Freeze's Twin Brother. (ノ`Д´)ノ

Last week: "the gallery is fixed!" This week, an email arrives...

"I tapped my drawing. The app just... stopped."
"every drawing. every time. since August."
"I PAID for this. (╬ Ò﹏Ó)"

"THREE BETA BUILDS LATER...
it was not the big drawings. it was not the wobble effect.
it was one unused line that makes iOS 18 spin in circles forever.
admin's own phones run iOS 26. admin never saw it. admin has now installed iOS 18."

( admin apologises to the wobble shader. it was innocent all along. )

0. TAPPING A SAVED DRAWING NO LONGER FREEZES (iOS 18)

If you are on iOS 18 and My Works has been frozen since August: this is your fix.

Opening a work from My Works (or landing there right after saving) no longer freezes the app on iPhones running iOS 18. While hunting it, admin also made the detail page load big drawings at screen size instead of canvas size, so it is lighter on memory for everyone. Same wiggle, none of the fainting. If it still freezes for you, email [email protected] with your device model and iOS version and admin will personally glare at it. (ง •̀_•́)ง

Previously, 2026-09-07: Admin Made The Gallery Stop Freezing (for real this time). ヽ(・∀・)ノ

Previously, when you opened "My Works"...

"tap. ...tap?? ...why won't it move."
"...is my iPad broken?"
"no. it froze. AGAIN. (´;ω;`)"

SssAdmin investigates
"TURNS OUT EVERY DRAWING WAS WIGGLING AT ONCE.
DOZENS OF LIVE GIFS. ALL DANCING. AT THE SAME TIME.
no wonder the poor thing fainted."

( admin glares at the CPU graph at 3am. as is tradition. )

1. THE GALLERY BREATHES AGAIN

Thumbnails now load light, not full-size. Even a big library opens instantly.

Opening My Works and the community no longer freezes — especially on iPad and older devices. Your gallery thumbnails now load at a tiny preview size instead of the full drawing, so even hundreds of works open instantly without eating all your memory. Same wiggle, none of the meltdown. \(^o^)/

2. NOW SPEAKING MORE OF YOUR LANGUAGE

The newer screens finally caught up on translations.

Buttons, the saved-work page, the frame editor and the community screens are translated across more languages now — less mystery English, more of your own words. ♥

+ DRAW WITHOUT INSTALLING ANYTHING

The whole studio, right in a browser.

You can now doodle straight from wigglypaint.io — no install, totally free. Perfect for pulling a friend in on a laptop. (づ◕‿◕)づ

SAME WIGGLE. NO MORE FREEZE. WIGGLE ON.

Sometimes love is just letting the poor CPU rest. (^▽^)
