The social network for Christians on mission to unify believers, build community, and provide a platform to bring world transformation Everything you need to actually gather people. EVENTS AND CHECK-IN Create an event, set who it's for, and let people RSVP. Turn on a door pass and every guest gets a QR code you scan at the door, or check people in by name. The new Hosting tab keeps your guest list, check-ins, and event details in one place. FIND WHAT'S NEAR YOU Community is now split into Gatherings and Events, with tags and a location you set yourself. See what's happening close to you, or open it up to anywhere. WAIVERS Events that need a signed waiver can collect one before someone RSVPs. Signed copies are saved for the host and the guest. SHARING Share an event or post as a card with your own photo on it. Send it straight to Instagram Stories with a tappable link, or anywhere else you talk to people. Links you send now open with a real preview. INVITES Invite codes and join links bring someone in directly, and you can find friends who are already here from your contacts. SIGN IN WITH A CODE No more passwords. Enter your email and we send a 6-digit code. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset. ROOMS Channels are now rooms: a place your group keeps, not a chat that pings. Pin what you're sitting with this week. Ask the room a question that only opens once you've answered it yourself. Run a poll. Keep a prayer list. Add a study and walk through it week by week. Put verses, links and readings on the shelf. Add meetings with a Zoom, Teams, Meet or FaceTime link, and join with a tap. Choose leaders, open the door or keep it invite only, pick a Sabbath, and decide how often the room may reach you: quiet, weekly, or every post. ASK TO JOIN An event can now be public and still yours to let people into. Choose "ask to join" and anyone can find it, but the street stays hidden until you say yes. One tap lets someone in; they get the address and a seat. CALENDAR A Calendar tab in Community with everything you have coming up: seats you've saved, events you're hosting, and the meetings in your rooms, this week and this month. A NEW LOOK FOR EVENTS Event cards lead with the photo. Under it: the day, the name, the place, and an RSVP button right on the card, so you can take a seat without opening the event. Once you're in, the card says so. YOUR PHOTO, WHEN YOU'RE READY The profile photo is no longer required to sign up. Until you add one you get a soft monogram in your initials, and adding one later is a tap on your profile. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE A refreshed feed, quote reposts that keep the original post's photos, a rebuilt notifications screen, and double-tap any tab to jump back to the top. Fixed a bug where following someone new didn't stick.
