What's new in v0.14.0
Events and groups, each with a chat of its own
Post an event and let people in, or start a group for your city. Each one has a chat of its own, run by whoever started it. Reactions on messages, photos in the order you choose, and everything else that changed are below.
Events
- Post an event from a long press on the map (Start an event here), the calendar button in the grid, or Make it an event while you're Hosting.
- Say when it starts and ends (up to a day long, up to two weeks ahead), how many can come, who gets in (anyone trusted, you approve each one, or invite only), your rules and tags.
- The map shows a blurred block, never your address, with a countdown to the start. You give the address in the event's chat.
- Asking in? The host sees your profile and lets you in or not. A no is silent.
- Hosts invite people they've messaged, and can take someone off the list.
- Add an event to your calendar: Apple, Outlook or Google. It says "Plans" and the time unless you choose to show what it is.
- An event can have a photo: safe for work, and never your place. You pick whether everyone sees it or only whoever's in.
- Learn more has How events work.
Groups
- Start a group for your city from a long press on the map or the people button in the grid. It sits on the map at the city, never at anyone's place.
- Open, ask to join or invite only. Admins let people in, invite, make others admins, set a cover and post the group's events.
- Only members see who's in. Show a group on your profile if you like; it's off until you turn it on.
- Groups have a layer on the map, and events and groups each have a switch in Notifications.
- Learn more has How groups work.
Event and group chats
- Everyone who's in is in the chat, with names over the messages.
- Whoever runs it pins a message, deletes one, mutes someone for a day or removes them, all from a long press.
- Report any message there from its long press.
Chat
- React to a message: a long press, or the face beside the time on a computer. The usual six, then 😈🛐🥵🍆💦, or any emoji.
- A thread with something new stands out in your Inbox.
- A new notification flashes at the top of the screen for a few seconds. Tap it to open it.
- Anyone whose account is gone leaves your Inbox, your taps and knocks, your notes and Who looked.
- With "Only people you've messaged" on, the people you talk to can see you again.
You and your profile
- Drag your photos into order, on your profile and in albums. The first one is your main photo.
- Your profile is one screen with tabs: Profile, Photos, Albums and Health.
- Up to 25 Into tags, and the editor says how many you have.
- A profile shows every standing someone holds, not just the first.
The map and the grid
- You're first in the grid, as your pin is on the map.
- A spot's tile with no photo shows the streets around it.
- Someone who leaves the map leaves the grid too, without a reload, and a status change shows everywhere at once.
- Spots carry tags, and search finds spots by them.
- Swipe a card up for a spot's page, or for someone's full profile with Plus. A spot's card has Check in, Directions and Details at its foot.
- Report a bug from the grid too.
- On the status sheet, Post to the Wall sits right under Traveling.
- Every badge, dot and mark says what it means: hover over it, focus it or long-press it.
- The tour shows the long press, and stops at Layers, Filters, Report a bug, the bell and your icon.
- Sheets and cards slide in and out, and taps get an answer. With Reduce Motion on, short fades instead.
Before you join
- A link to Feral Mode Live shows a proper preview in chats and on social media, and an invite link gets a card of its own.
- City pages link each kind of spot to its part of Cruising Spots in Learn more.
