How it uses iPhone Duo
The release notes for Mona 27.1 state that it "adds support and optimizations for iPhone Duo", and the developer posted screenshots of the app on the device from the official Mona account before release. The developer has not described a specific folded or unfolded behaviour in words, so no fold-specific feature is confirmed. We have not yet tested it on an iPhone Duo.

About this app
Mona 27 is a Mastodon client for iPhone, iPad and Mac from independent developer Junyu Kuang. It covers the standard Mastodon features, including Home, List and profile timelines, replies, reposts, favourites and bookmarks, and trending posts along with Local and Federated timelines, and the developer describes it as fully optimised for VoiceOver. Beyond the basics it syncs reading positions, mute lists, user notes, drafts and themes across devices, offers widgets for recent and trending posts, can share a post as an image, and supports posting HDR photos and Live Photos. On larger screens a Column View shows several views at once. Game controller navigation is also supported. A paid tier, Mona Ultra, adds features such as a customisable tab bar, configurable post actions and swipe options, a theme editor, font choices, multiple accounts and automatic translation. The developer states that Mona does not collect personal information and stores account tokens in the on-device Keychain. Version 27.1, released on 17 October 2026, adds support and optimisations for iPhone Duo, which the developer also announced on the app's Mastodon account. It suits active Mastodon users who want a native app they can tailor closely.
