Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

What's up, chat! Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update. This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.
A group chat staffed entirely by the Bluesky team's pets, who are very excited to tell each other that group chats now exist.

Along with group chats, we've rolled out a new way to share your profile and invite friends to find you on Bluesky. Check your profile — you'll see a new share button. You can use this to create a personalized QR code other people can scan to more easily find (and hopefully follow) you.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

If you want to change Bluesky’s default moderation settings, go to your moderation settings on the web - bsky.app/moderation. Apple limits adult-content controls inside iOS apps, so you won’t see those options on the iPhone app itself. 1/2
