What’s new
Version 7.2.17 · Updated October 23, 2026
Good news for chat lovers — sending attachments just got a whole lot smoother! You can now send files without needing to add a text message alongside them, and those mysterious "unknown file" labels are gone for good so you always know exactly what you're sharing. Event cards have also had a glow-up, now showing how many people are going or interested right on the card, with richer details in the About section and organizers counted among the attendees — making it easier than ever to gauge the vibe before you show up. On the web side, you can once again peek at trips from friends and fellow travelers heading to the same destination, and a pesky double pop-up on event comments has been squashed. We also tidied up the footer with handy About and FAQ & Support links whenever you need a little help or want to learn more. Under the hood, tapping a Community row in the Library Menu now takes you exactly where you expect, and images uploaded from your phone load up nice and fast. Happy surfing!
