What’s new
Version 7.2.14 · Updated September 25, 2026
Your chats just got a serious glow-up! Messages now show sent, delivered, and read status so you always know when your host or travel buddy has seen your note. Reactions come alive with fun animations, the text area smartly expands as you type, and sharing photos and files works like a charm again. The "more actions" menu has been refreshed too, and archiving a conversation no longer causes that jarring full-page reload. Explore the rest of the app and you'll find plenty more to love. The Library menu now includes a Profile Tour to help you put your best foot forward, and empty states for Guests, Events, Stays, and Trips now surface helpful carousels so you're never staring at a blank screen. A brand-new image viewer with smooth animations makes browsing photos a genuine pleasure. First time opening the app? A warm "Welcome" greeting will greet you for your first week. Settings got a sleek new modal, dates now display in your device's regional format, and sign-in errors are surfaced clearly so you're never left guessing. Under the hood we've upgraded our core framework, sped up the feed with smarter image loading, and squashed a handful of crashes—keeping your adventures (and your app) running beautifully.
