What's New in Chirps
1.2.0
October 17, 2026
New in 1.2.0 • Badges: earn badges for milestones in your birding, from your first chirp to a five-species day. Some climb bronze, silver and gold, some you can earn again and again, and each one tilts and catches the light. Pin your favourites to your profile and see your friends'. • Already playing? The badges your chirps have already earned arrive in one card, with their XP. • Lists: group friends into private lists and see just their posts on the Feed and leaderboard. Tap the arrow beside "Feed", then swipe to switch. • How Chirps works: tap "?" on Record for a quick guide to listening, pinning, tiers and your catch. • A soft ring now points out new features, starting with Lists. • Pips map: centre the map on yourself and switch between Standard, Satellite and Hybrid. • Identification Speed in Settings: Balanced saves battery, Fast identifies birds sooner. Improvements • Better battery life while listening. • Catching a fading bird is fairer: you get the score the ring showed when you tapped. • Reduce Motion now calms the ring, confetti and reveal. • Clearer VoiceOver labels on Record. Fixes • Fixed a crash when the microphone was unavailable. • Confetti plays once instead of repeating. • Feed rows fit at the largest text sizes. • Plus smaller fixes to the Feed, widgets, nicknames and Apple Watch catches. Privacy • Our privacy policy now lists what badges store when you sign in: chirps.app/privacy
