Bluesky iPad support has arrived as part of the social network’s latest feature update. The platform is beta testing support for iPads, and the app should start looking and performing better on the Apple tablets as a result of these changes.
How to Try the iPad Beta
The Beta Features section of the Settings menu can be used to share feedback about any bugs or wonkiness found in the Bluesky iPad app. Users who want an early look at the experience should head there first.
Profile Links Put Self-Promotion Front and Center
Another update is aimed at self-promotion. Bluesky users can now put links to external platforms at the top of their profiles. The company framed the addition as a way for creators to get better support from their Bluesky audiences by connecting their profiles to crowdfunding platforms such as Patreon or Ko-fi, or to more of their content in a website or newsletter.
This might also cut down on some of the “link in bio” language that’s so common in many social media posts. The Edit Profile menu now has a Links section where those external sites can be added.
Why Profile Links Matter for Creators
For creators, the change makes it easier to turn attention on Bluesky into support elsewhere. Instead of directing followers to hunt for a link buried in a post, the profile itself becomes a hub for crowdfunding pages, newsletters, and other content.
That shift could be significant for anyone who relies on multiple platforms to earn a living. A single profile can now point followers toward a Patreon page, a Ko-fi tip jar, a newsletter signup, or a personal website without cluttering individual posts.
It also simplifies things for followers. Rather than asking where to find a creator’s other work, visitors can check the top of the profile and see exactly where to go next.
What the Update Means for Users
The two changes target different audiences. The iPad beta focuses on making the app feel more native on Apple’s tablets, while profile links give creators more room to promote their work.
Neither feature is fully finished. The iPad support is still in beta, so users should expect some rough edges, and feedback through the Settings menu is encouraged.
A Better Experience on Larger Screens
Tablet users have often dealt with apps that feel stretched rather than designed for a bigger display. Native support for iPads suggests Bluesky is addressing that gap, and the beta period gives the company a way to collect real-world feedback before a wider rollout.
The Bigger Picture
Bluesky continues to ship updates at a steady pace, and this release shows the platform paying attention to both device support and creator tools. For iPad owners and creators alike, the latest update offers something worth exploring.
The beta label is a reminder that things may change. Features can shift, bugs can appear, and feedback matters during this stage. Users who try the iPad app early can help shape what the final version looks like.
For now, the update gives Bluesky users two practical improvements: a better experience on Apple tablets and a cleaner way to connect their profiles to the rest of their online presence. Both are small changes on the surface, but they address real needs for people who spend time on the platform.
iPad owners can jump into the Beta Features section to try the app and report anything that feels off. Creators can head to the Edit Profile menu and add their links right away.
As Bluesky keeps building out its feature set, updates like these show where the platform is headed: toward a more polished app and stronger tools for the people who create on it.
