Big Update: New Camera, Merch Store & The UI Glow-Up 📸

Hey Havven Community,

We’ve been busy behind the scenes! Last night, we pushed a major update to the platform, and we have a lot of new features and important news to share.

Here is everything you need to know about what’s live now and what’s coming in the next two weeks.

📸 New Camera & Content Features The creative toolkit just got an upgrade. The New Camera is live, featuring:

Filters: Add some flair to your content.

Multi-Media Posts: You can now mix and match! Post multiple pictures and videos in a single post.

💸 Creator Accounts & Monetization If you are a Creator, you can now create and fully set up your Creator Account.

Status: While you can set up your profile today, monetization is not live just yet. We are currently plugging in the payment processor.

Timeline: We expect payments to be fully live in the next 1-2 weeks.

Action Item: Get your account ready now so you can hit the ground running the moment the switch is flipped!

👕 Havven Merch Store is OPEN Want to rep the sanctuary in the real world? The Havven Merch Store is officially open!

You can access it via the right-hand menu in the app or visit Havvenshop.com directly.

Note: This is a temporary shop setup while we finish developing the full internal marketplace.

🎨 The "Glow-Up" (UI Update) We are officially beginning our UI update (reskinning the app). You didn't strictly think we were going live with that ugly interface, did you? 😉 We are polishing everything up to make the experience as sleek as it is safe.

⚠️ Tech Updates & "Housekeeping" To prepare for the full release, we are upgrading our servers and databases.

Glitch Watch: We are still working through database updates. If you see broken images, don't panic—they will be updated/fixed shortly.

Downtime Alert: In the next week, we will be pushing another large database update which will require the site to go down for a short period. We will notify you before this happens.

Policies: Important policies have been added to the main menu so they are easily accessible from every page.

🔒 Safety & Compliance You will notice a new Age Verification pop-up. This has been added as a mandatory compliance measure for our payment processor. It keeps the platform compliant so creators can get paid.

🔜 Coming Soon We are currently hard at work on Live Streaming and Video Calling. Look out for another update from us next week!

Thank you for building this sanctuary with us.

The Havven Team
