Arguing with Smule support is futile. It’s not like the people among the support staff are the ones making the decisions about features.

My further Response to Smule on this Topic "Why fix it if it ain't Broke is the question for Smule ??" Glad you understand your Platform is home to Million of Users, so should you not logically reason out the need for change. Latest head ache. Every time I want to join and invite, I see a page with full lyrics and I have to hit the cancel button to get on with joining and singing. Who does this benefit ? It appears Smule is Pandering to members who are obsessed with NUMBERS of Followers, Numbers of Joins. At the end of the day all this is nothing but an EGO trip. Who cares ?

I believe some have tweaked their settings not to show their online status, then the ring around the profile pic will be white. This green ring isn't permanently on the profile , sometimes it is white and sometimes green, therefore I believe it is an online status.

I checked all my followers and friends I follow on Android as well as my iPad. I know may are busy singing right now but I dont see any green rings around their profiles. May they are Super Verified Smuleans, Verified Smuleans have a Purple Tick before their Profile names

I realised it and tried deleting pic, but apparently one can't delete post or attachment after a certain time. Perhaps this function should be made available. I am using an android.

Hi SDR. Thanks for this smart idea, but unfortunately I already tried this with the same issue, and it is even more complicated to go back to the "player page" that restarts to play. However, thank you.

A user name would be better than a screenshot. Also, what device are you using? An iPad?

Try changing the flow. Pause the playback, go to the profile of the singer, select the invite from there and try joining.

Hi. I use to listen to shared songs before singing along, so I play the song and if it looks good for me I press pause + Participate (or participate directly, so the songs pause automatically), and in the middle of the recording the song starts playing again over the playing I'm listening while recording. There is a "double" play in my headphones. Just recorded 5 songs this last hour, and it appends 4 times...

I think I know what it means. A friend said it means the person is online.

Smule automatically starts playing the recording when an invite (share?) is opened. When you join (participate?) that playback is automatically stopped and the recording starts. From what you have listed, a workaround seems to be waiting for the playback to begin playing and then stopping it manually before starting recording.

The thing is, sometimes it is green and sometimes it is white. I don't know if it means anything at all.

Maybe the user just added that color to the profile pic? Hard to say without seeing the account. Can you link it?

Just came across a smuler with a green outline over his profile pic. Usually it is white, like the other smulers. Just curious if it means anything at all.

Well there won't be a need to delete messages if there is nothing secretive or scandalous in there, no? Since smule does purge old messages after a few months anyway.

Smule Bakery takes for ever and often distribute half baked products as they don't care what customers eat is baked or unbaked as long as they get the membership fee annually, which is non refundable even if you want to quit

Apart from sharing recordings through it, personal message is the first point of personal interaction for singers in smule. It was incorporated to avoid going out to other messaging apps like Whatsapp or Fb to converse with each other. From the perspective of a messaging module it has several shortcomings. No online status of the other person, no proper timeline of messages and replies, no way to quote a message for replying etc... But people use it just for the initial hello with each other and chats for a few days. Then they would move to other quality apps if they would like to continue to chat further. Of all the defects, the absence of deletion of message seems be the worst. And I see that that question was asked in this forum before also. Check this link:

It’s precisely the “secret personal interaction” in private messaging that I’ve been describing! 🤦🏼‍♀️ This is really the last I’ll respond as we’re basically getting nowhere and I feel I clearly expressed my points in my original post already. (By the way, at this point, it’s looking more and more like “a numbers game” here when just one post for your replies would have sufficed... 🤷🏼‍♀️ To each their own...) Thanks for your thoughts. Have a good morning/evening, depending your location! ☀️ 🌙 😉👍🏻

So what you have now is a half-baked product. 😂

Ramrajah1012 Dec 2, 2021, 16:53 GMT+2 On my iPad my Book marked songs shows name of song, number of Plays and Number of Joins. If it is a VOC I know whose invite it is but if it is audio Only I have no clue and I have to look at my Android Samsung 7 phone to figure out whose invite it is as the name is still displayed..Everyone I know through Smule is complaining about all these meaningless changes on Smule Profile Page making life for members difficult. Please add name of singer whose invite it is on IOS too as it is in Androids SMULE RESPONSE: Smule Support Team (Smule) Dec 4, 2021, 13:03 GMT+2 Hi, Thanks for reaching out! I understand that the recent changes are not to your liking. While I can't go into too much detail about this, I can assure you that our updates are rigorously tested and their impact is to a great extent determined, before being pushed out. Our platform is home to millions of users worldwide and we are bound to cause disappointment to some of our communities, irrespective of the nature of the update itself. We can appreciate that and this is precisely the reason we want to make sure the concerns of those communities are addressed, which is why we really value your feedback, as it does help us prioritize what we should be focusing on next. This said the new profile page is here to stay. We're looking into ways to have it display information such as Play count, number of Loves, and comments for each recording. I can't confirm a timeframe of when this will be rolled out but stay tuned for updates. Also, each of your collabs will have a small clickable icon in their lower right-hand corner that displays how many people have joined it and when clicked on, will show the usernames of those who have joined. This is how you can differentiate between solos and collabs too. All in all, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. If anything else comes to mind, please don't hesitate to let us know. Regards, Smule Support Team To send another message to our support team, simply respond to this email. (Not sure this is an automated Response)

How do you know that your songs was listened ... once you hit the song to give a gift or like but you didn't actually listened the full song it will be counted as one listened..It is impossible to listen to every single collab so i compensate to give paid stickers and thank you..

"to make unhealthy..." doesn't follow from the first part of your statement. There could be many other reasons other than the obvious. I mentioned a couple them... There may be other reasons also. Smule has the blocking option which comes handy in situations like this. Since most of the activities in smule are public, I find it to be a safer place compared to so many other apps where secret personal interaction is part of the model.👍😁

Your experience (I assume that you are an adult) cannot be generalized to mean that children would also face the same. Probably it is this erroneous generalization which has prompted your original message. On the other hand one should follow the guidelines in the two linked pages and take care if one lets children participate in smule. 👍😁

I was basing it on the probability that they would find a child to sing with. I assume that Smule has lot of adults and very less children. And for the second part of your message, please see the previous reply.👍😁

People follow others not always after seeing their profiles, but as a reply to their following. So if you see a profile with few followers, it could be that they are recent and are just starting to get followers. One suggestion online to increase your followers is to keep on following others, expecting them to follow back.👍😁
