Tumblr for Android introduces Safe Mode and will stop providing updates for Android Jelly Bean.


Tumblr describes itself as “a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love.” The platform lets you express yourself with photos, GIFs, text, videos, live videos and audio. Basically, share about anything you like.

In today’s update, Tumblr is adding safe mode, a tool that lets users control what they see and what they don’t want to see. A Safe Mode switch has been added in the General Settings of the app, more precisely under Filtering.

Tumblr also announced that owners of Android Jelly Bean devices, that’s Android version 4.1 to 4.3 will stop getting updates from now on. The app will still work on these devices, but no new features will be added. If you still use Jelly Bean on your device, you should seriously consider upgrading. Running such an old version of Android is a security risk, as Google is not providing security patches for it anymore.

Tumblr is available free in Google Play Store.
