What’s new
Version 3.2.1 · Updated September 20, 2026
A big tune-up for giving, asking and staying in touch. -Meet your Wishlist. Saved Searches are now your Wishlist, with a fresh name, new icons and clearer badges for the things you're hoping to find. -Never miss news from Buy Nothing. Unread updates from the Buy Nothing team now show a badge wherever you are in the app, and they come with proper formatting and tappable links. -Simpler, more private location. Setting your location is quicker and more reliable. Posts in the feed show only your general area. Pickup details stay on the post itself. -Smoother conversations. The message box and shipping options reset properly when you hop between chats, and gift confirmations stay with the right conversation. -A fresher look. Buy Nothing teal throughout, tidier post cards and a polished Buy Nothing Pro screen with clearer pricing. On smaller phones, the post menu and plan cards no longer get cut off. -Sturdier sign-in. Apple and Google sign-in are more reliable, switching accounts is cleaner, and notifications follow the right account. - Countless other bug fixes, security improvements and so much love for our neighbors! Thanks for keeping the gift economy going.
