GKSPHONE v2.6.0: a redesigned Mail experience

GKSPHONE v2.6.0 brings a completely redesigned Mail experience, smarter home screen setup, refreshed iOS visuals, and a broad set of performance and reliability improvements across the phone.

A completely redesigned Mail experience

Mail has been rebuilt to make in-city communication more direct, expressive, and useful. Players can now send emails to each other, while Markdown support gives messages more structure and richer formatting.

• Completely redesigned Mail application
• Markdown support for emails
• Direct player-to-player email
• Email addresses included when sharing contacts through AirShare
• Updated server-side Send Mail export

The server-side Send Mail export has also been updated, giving developers an improved integration point for sending emails from server resources. Full usage details are available in the GKSPHONE server exports documentation.

A smarter home screen from the first setup

New phones now start with the default Bank and Clock widgets already added during the initial setup. This gives players useful information immediately while keeping the home screen ready for further customization.

Edit Mode now highlights the available placement area while an application is being moved, making it easier to understand where icons can be positioned.

Refreshed visuals and broader Light Mode support

The iOS Lock Screen customization popup now uses the new Liquid Glass design, bringing it in line with the latest visual direction. The Contacts application has also been updated to fully support Light Mode.

Performance improvements across the phone

Billing system backend operations have been optimized, alongside general frontend and server-side improvements. These changes reduce unnecessary work behind the scenes and help everyday interactions remain responsive.

This release resolves several issues across Android, iOS, Contacts, Control Center, and home screen customization.

• Fixed the Android message input becoming unusable after selecting an emoji
• Fixed the custom ringtone option appearing empty in Contacts
• Fixed the Control Center button not appearing in certain situations
