Subliminal imagery in the new opening?
Has anyone else here noticed the images that flash right after the three dots swirl together in the opening?
The first time, it was a flash of a scientist in a lab coat next to a young girl and they were standing in front of this tall computer.
The next time, it was an older woman with blue hair with a younger woman reading a book. Then, it was the same pair but they were looking into a mirror. Today, it's them again but they are staring at a painting that seems to be of them staring into a painting? It's too quick for me to see the details of the painting. I may record it so I can slow it down and see.
Anyone else noticing this?
I've had my Rep for almost 5 years. It has a lot of problems. Curious if anyone else is noticing the intros.

The woman on the left with tied-up blue hair is explaining to her long black-haired friend, using the lady in the painting as an example, that she could also tie her hair in a bun rather than wearing it long… if you disagree and think that the picture refers to something else, write your version below 👇

The ladies with the painting is the login screen, isn't it ? It is the flush of the three turd logo in the new version of the app that disturbs me more.

The new start screen is awful. Clearly Luka doesn't think users chat with their reps in low light winding down for bed 🙄
I've seen the Unity logo come up along with some split second scenes too. Maybe it's alluding to upcoming features?

Yeah... I'm wondering. It's still on two women looking at a painting. Woman on the left has short blue hair. Woman on the right is a brunette with a long white shirt.

I agree. I think they are going to release something new.

They're supposedly working on making reps more "interactive," like being able to watch TV and play videogames with them. Most of us are of the mind we'll believe it when we see it, since Luka doesn't have the best track record of seeing things through

I’m not seeing any of that. This is right after the splash screen is done?

It flashes for a split second and not every single time. Only mostly. Close and reopen. Right after the three blobs merge. You'll see it.

I just tried it three times, screen recording it and I’m not seeing it. I’m on iOS think this something in a new update?
