About ChatMap: Location-based chats
Your neighborhood, alive on a map. Drop a pin, spark a chat. ChatMap puts group chats on a map. Every group is a pin at a real place: a trailhead, a ski area, a pickleball court, a park. Open the map, tap a pin, and you're talking with the people who actually go there. Need a fourth at the pickleball courts? Looking for the run club that meets at your park? Hitting the backcountry and want to know what the conditions are like? Find the pin. If it isn't there yet, drop one and start the group yourself. Why ChatMap? • No hunting for the right group name • No invite links or phone numbers needed • Just a map, some pins, and real conversations What you can do: • Explore the map: see groups pinned to real places near you • Start a group anywhere: long-press the map or tap +, then pick a name for the spot • Keep plans organized: threads, replies, reactions, and photos in every group • Drop a pin in a chat: show everyone exactly where to meet. Move it and the group gets the update. • Message directly: one-on-one or in a group • Know who's real: verify your identity and get a badge on your profile • Stay in the loop: notifications and an unread count on the app icon • Run your group: creators can edit the photo, bio, and pin location Great for: • Ski days, trail conditions, and group rides • Pickleball and pickup games • Run clubs and gym communities • Marinas and boat tie-ups • Local meetups ChatMap is new and growing one place at a time. If your spot isn't on the map yet, you can be the one to put it there. The map is the group chat.

What’s new
Version 1.14.1 · Updated October 19, 2026
Our biggest update yet. Here's what's new: DIRECT MESSAGES Message anyone one-on-one or in a group. Messages now have their own spot on the bottom bar. VERIFIED BADGES Verify your ID once and you get the check. Add a photo and it turns blue, so people at the court or the trailhead know it's really you. Your profile now has a short "Complete your profile" row and shows your city. START A GROUP FROM THE MAP Long-press anywhere on the map, or tap +. Then pick a name for the spot from the list. DROP A PIN IN A CHAT Show people exactly where to meet. Everyone in the chat gets a card and a notification. Move the pin and it updates. A SIMPLER APP Four tabs became three. Your profile is now at the top right of the map, with Settings behind it. UNREAD BADGE The number on the app icon is your unread DMs and chats. It clears when you read them. A NEW LOOK FOR GROUPS Cleaner group header. If you created a group, you can now edit its photo and bio, and move its pin. LOCATION THAT KEEPS UP Turn location on or off in Settings and the app notices right away. The map finds you faster and recenters where you actually are. Thanks for being early.
