   • Social media link imports now download and analyze images (not just videos) for public posts on X, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads; for multi-image posts only the first image is analyzed.
   • Social media link imports now accept shortened and mobile URL formats including vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com, tiktok.com/t/, fb.me, instagram.com/share/, mobile.twitter.com, m.tiktok.com, web.facebook.com, and Threads share links.

   • Video processing capacity now scales with demand, reducing queue times during busy periods.
   • API keys and webhooks are now separate pages in the web app's main navigation, each with a tab per product (e.g. API keys > RealScan, Webhooks > RealScan).
   • When a social media URL can never be downloaded, the import now fails after the first confirmed error instead of retrying up to five times, returning the failure result sooner.
   • Presigned uploads via POST /api/files/aws-presigned now return a signedUrl pointing to api.prd.realitydefender.xyz; send a PUT with the file as raw body and Content-Type: application/octet-stream.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠

   • !The signedUrl returned by POST /api/files/aws-presigned now points to api.prd.realitydefender.xyz instead of AWS S3. Network policies or HTTP clients that restrict upload destinations must allowlist api.prd.realitydefender.xyz.
   • !Context-aware explainability fields explanation, image_description, manipulation_reasons, potential_source, image_type, and recognizable_identities are no longer returned in Media Detail responses. aggregation.json for scans run after this change omits contextResult.
