A major update to the IMVU Mobile Inventory, Shop, and Fitting Room experience has arrived, bringing improved navigation, better filtering tools, search and filters across both iOS and Android, and more flexibility while customizing your avatar.
One of the most exciting additions in this update is that search and filters are now available in both the Shop and Inventory across iOS and Android, including Inventory search on iOS for the first time.
This update includes:
* Redesigned Inventory categories and navigation
* Updated gender and unisex filtering options
* Search and filters on both iOS and Android
* New Undo, Redo, and Reset controls in the Fitting Room and Inventory
* Rooms and Furniture shop categories are now available on Android
Check out the full FAQ for all the details and changes:
My entire shop is now hidden from the mobile catalog, and my sales have dropped drastically—by 81%. That’s an immediate and drastic impact. I create men’s wear. I labeled my items as unisex to be inclusive for that small percentage of users who might want to wear men’s clothing, but unisex is compatibility, not a gender. My target audience is men, and they can no longer find my items because they have been completely removed from the men's category. I also can't simply change my items back to men's, even if I wanted to. Majority of my items are derivables that other creators have derived from, so they can't be altered at this point. Years of my work have essentially been hidden overnight.
If IMVU is going to treat unisex as its own category instead of a compatibility feature, creators should be given that choice before publishing items. Had I known that marking an item as unisex would remove it from the men's category, I would have made a different decision moving forward. Unfortunately, I can't continue marking my products as unisex if it means they're no longer visible to my actual audience. I create men's wear, not unisex wear.
I think a much better approach would be to keep men's items in the men's category and women's items in the women's category, while adding a compatibility filter that lets users view which items are also compatible with both avatars—similar to how the "Derivables" filter works. That would preserve discoverability while still highlighting compatibility.
Treating compatibility as if it's a gender category isn't really reasonable. This update has effectively hidden years of my work and has had a major and immediate impact on my income.

Any way to update the broadcasting tab. I use Ice cast, and shout cast on encoders. And it does not work from the control panel. It be nice to use caster.fm inside of imvu some of us own our own radio servers where we live dj.

The update honestly sucks. It took away the ability to check your messages and browse the shop while you’re in a room on mobile. Those were really convenient features, and removing them just made the app less user friendly.
