I haven’t logged into the Second Life mobile app in a while, so I wanted to check if rezzing had improved. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in with my iPhone 15 Pro and found that my avatar rezzed about 90% of the way. This version is the best that I’ve tried so far, and it rendered my avatar mostly accurately. My dress was all white, but during the 4 minutes I was logged in, it never fully rezzed a piece of the dress. I still find walking and moving difficult, but I can sit fairly well.
In case you weren’t aware, Juicy Little is my alternate account. Now that the mobile app is open for all residents, I wanted to try an avatar with minimal inventory.
I am impressed with the mobile app at the moment, but not enough to use it regularly or to encourage anyone to join Second Life on mobile. You don’t have access to inventory, and you can’t make any purchases, so what is the point?
My phone also became very hot during the 4 minutes I was logged on to film this video. This video consists of 4 minutes of footage sped up to fit into 90 seconds. While rezzing is better, it is still quite slow. Most users with less capable phones can expect even slower rezzing than in my video.
Are you excited to try the Second Life mobile app?
