Lovense has launched Remote 8.0, a significant update to its Remote App, which serves as a primary entry point to the Lovense ecosystem. This update aims to unify hardware, content, interactive experiences, and community within a single platform.

Remote 8.0 Overview

The Remote 8.0 update, officially launched in July 2026, builds upon the Remote App’s existing device-control capabilities. It introduces a unified experience for the next phase of the Lovense ecosystem, integrating hardware, content, interactive experiences, and community while maintaining continuous access to device control.

Lovense, a Singapore-based sex tech company founded by Dan Liu in 2010, specializes in remotely controlled sex toys and pleasure products, along with accompanying software. The company is also recognized for its interconnected devices, app ecosystem, and integrations across creator and cam platforms. Lovense's history includes the launch of its first app-based sex toys, Max and Nora, in 2013, and the integration of app controlling in 2014. Subsequent product releases include the Lush vibrator in 2016, followed by Hush, Ambi, Domi, Edge, and Osci in 2017. The company introduced a USB Bluetooth adapter in 2018 to enable device connectivity with Windows computers. In 2019, Lovense upgraded and relaunched Lush 2, Max 2, and Osci 2, and in 2020, it launched Domi 2 and a limited edition Mission. In January 2021, Lovense announced a "digital orgies" feature, allowing up to 100 participants to join via the Lovense app. In early February 2021, the company partnered with CamSoda to launch Diamo, a vibrating cock ring, which was also included in an Elden Ring mod. Lovense also launched its small-sized panty vibrator, Ferri, in the same year.

Remote 8.0 organizes the app into five main spaces: Community, Message, Toy, Explore, and Me. These spaces are presented within a clearer, more cohesive structure, designed to provide users with a more consistent way to navigate between controlling connected devices, discovering content, accessing interactive experiences, and connecting with others. The update extends Remote’s established role in device control across a broader ecosystem experience.

Enhanced Device Control and User Experience

A central feature of the redesigned experience is persistent access to toy controls. When users navigate away from the main control panel, connected devices can continue operating, and a floating control bubble remains available for intensity adjustments. This allows users to browse other areas of the app without interrupting device function. Additionally, physical volume keys can be used to directly change device intensity. These updates enable users to explore more of the Lovense ecosystem without needing to repeatedly return to the main control screen.

Dan Liu, CEO of Lovense, stated that Remote 8.0 reflects the company's commitment to improving user experience. He added that by creating a clearer and more unified journey across control, content, interaction, and community, this update strengthens the foundation for the continued evolution of the Lovense ecosystem.

Community and Content Integration

The update also integrates community participation and shared content more closely with Remote’s established control experience through Lovense Bond. Lovense Bond is a dedicated environment for community conversations and discovery. The Patterns mode within the app allows users to share vibration patterns they have created and explore patterns contributed by others.

Remote 8.0 is now available globally. Users can download or update to the latest version through the Apple App Store and Google Play for both iOS and Android devices.
