## What is BridgeUSA Connect?

Bridge Connect is the home base for BridgeUSA — the student movement bringing young Americans together across the political spectrum for honest, respectful conversation.

Whether you're a chapter president, an exec, or a brand-new member, Bridge Connect keeps your whole network in one place:

• Chapters — Explore 150+ BridgeUSA chapters nationwide. Find schools by region or state, see who's leading each chapter, and message other exec boards directly.

• Forum — Start and join discussions that reach beyond your own campus. Ask what's working, share what isn't, and learn from chapters three states over.

• Chat — Channels and direct messages for your chapter and the wider community, with real-time replies and reactions.

• Bulletins — National notes, field guides, and weekly chapter recaps in a clean, focused reading view.

• Resources — A growing library of discussion guides on the issues that matter, ready to run at your next meeting.

• Profile — Your chapter, your role, and your place in the network.

BridgeUSA believes understanding starts with listening. Bridge Connect gives every chapter the tools to connect, organize, and keep the best conversations going — long after everyone leaves the room.

Dialogue over division. Welcome to Bridge Connect.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-23

New features

Group chats:
Start a group by naming it and picking members.
The person who made it can add people.
Anyone can leave a group they joined; chapter and region channels stay managed.
Photos in chat:
Up to 4 per message, tap to view full screen.
Private to the people in that chat.
Works on the website too.
Composers in the app:
Blog posts, with photos and a PDF.
Bulletin issues, written or as a PDF (national staff).
Resource links (CDCs and national staff).
Chapter and position change requests: members ask from Settings. Chapter leaders, CDCs or the national team approve or decline in the app or on the website, and the member is notified.
Admin tools (Profile → Admin tools):
member approvals and change requests;
members: suspend, reinstate, change role, set positions;
moderation queue and blocks;
chapters: approve, archive, edit description;
audit log.
New Home:
“For you” first: unread chats, new replies, approvals waiting;
a Chapter chat shortcut;
network stats moved to the bottom.
One Notifications screen: push on/off with a shortcut to iPhone Settings, what you get notified about, and email frequency.
Drafts: unsent text in chats, forum posts, blog posts, replies and comments is kept even if the app is closed.
Blog posts now show their photos in the app.

Improvements

Text contrast meets the accessibility minimum, and nothing is smaller than 11pt.
Tapping an avatar in chat opens the profile.
Screens that fail to load now show an error with retry, not “all caught up.”
Search handles special characters and stale results correctly.
Idea vote counts come from the server.

Fixes

Password reset links no longer show “expired” when the app opens fresh from the link.
Messages no longer occasionally vanish or reorder in busy chats; loading older messages no longer wipes history.
Editing a message no longer throws away a half-typed message.
No more duplicate DM or group threads from a double tap or a failed lookup.
Push notifications:
this phone stops getting them after sign-out;
tapping one opens the right screen even when the app was closed;
the app icon badge stays accurate.
If the profile fails to load, members get a retry screen instead of being sent to onboarding.
The Notifications header no longer sits under the status bar.
