What’s New
This update sharpens the experience top-to-bottom — darker maps, smoother screens, and a handful of small things that just feel right.
The map matches your mood. Switch the app to dark mode and the map follows suit, with a deeper palette that’s much easier on your eyes during late-night trip planning.
Discover Travel Buddy as you go. Helpful in-app tutorials now appear at the right moments to show you what a button or screen does. No more guessing.
Notifications that actually break through. Friend requests, upcoming-trip reminders, and travel nudges now arrive with sound and high priority, so you won’t miss them.
Buttery on modern iPhones. If you’ve got a ProMotion display, animations now run at the full refresh rate. Scrolling, transitions, and the globe all feel noticeably silkier.
A more polished upgrade screen. Travel Buddy Pro now greets you with an animated aurora backdrop — a small touch, but a beautiful one.
Share your travels in style. The trip share card has been rebalanced with your headline up top and your stats neatly tucked below the map.
A few rough edges, smoothed. Re-adding a friend after removing them works the way you’d expect. Map pins stay anchored when you tap them. The first screen you see at launch renders with the right font. And the app catches you up on changes more reliably after sitting in the background.
Safe travels!
