You've been waiting for it... our new User Interface update has arrived! If you want to find out what's new, you've come to the right place. Keep reading!

New Layout, New Design, New Features… It’s YoWorld, only better!
Check out that sweet, sleek new design! New colours, redesigned icons, and more room to play... The new and improved YoWorld has it all.
  • The top bar has been redesigned! More options are now available in your room options and game settings!
  • The bottom bar got a makeover too! From an awesome new layout to great new chat features, a fancy neighbor ladder and even neat new icons for your favourite Yo activities, things are looking pretty spiffy.
  • We've improved your Buddy List to include search filtering, customizable categories, and more messaging options. Keep better track of your friends!
  • Decorating has been made even easier! Turn blackspace decorating on, check out the new edit mode store, and get those creative juices flowing.

  • Click your name to personalize your nameplate and chat with a sweet colour!
    Image
  • The new chat log is jam-packed full of improvements! Click to the left of the chat bar Image to open your revamped chat history. You can even drag it around the screen to get it out of the way!
    Image
    Image
  • Private message a friend or someone in the room with you by clicking @ or typing @ on your keyboard.
    Image
  • Attention messaging is for when you don’t mind others seeing, but you want a specific Yo’s attention! Click ! or type ! on your keyboard to direct a public message to someone.
    Image
  • Expand the left menu to see all chat, or just your private chats. Click the button again to hide the chat list!
    Image
  • New emojis and stickers are the perfect way to express yourself.
    Image
  • Actions are on the right side. No more opening the chat bar to uber!
    Image
  • Introducing ghost messages! If a buddy messages you from a different room, you'll see a cute little 'ghost' of their avatar in the bottom left corner of the play area.
    Image
    The ghosts will disappear after a short time, or you can have them stay until you dismiss them by choosing "Manually close buddy messages" from the settings menu in the top right.

Let’s take a closer look at the new… Edit Mode Store & Decorating Features!

Image

We'll break down the sections step-by-step, and let you know what it all does :)

  • Visiting players will have a heads up when you’re decorating or changing outfits.
    ImageImage
  • Turn on Blackspace Decorating, Blackspace Walking, or both! Set each room up exactly how you want it - ignore walls and empty space and get creative!
    Image
  • Buying new items from edit mode just got a whole lot easier!
    Click a store to see the categories inside, just like the old stores.
    Image
  • Click "Hide Categories" to see everything in that category all at once instead of separating them by category!
    Image
    Navigate around by using the new Back button Image, click a category at the bottom Image to go there, or use the dropdown list to see available categories.
    Image
    Click Show All Image to browse more items at once. Show all has all of the in-store options like search filtering, category hiding and more - but way more fits in one screen!
    Image
    My Stuff got a makeover too!
