## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-28

Fresher, smoother locations, and a cleaner Circle Life.

• Asking for someone's location now gets an answer more reliably, even when their phone hasn't opened the app in a while.
• Watch live: follow someone's trip with updates every few seconds for 2 minutes. They are always told, and pausing sharing stops it.
• Pins glide smoothly between updates, keep pace with people who are driving, and show their speed.
• An SOS keeps your pin moving until you tap "I'm safe".
• Place arrival and departure alerts are more dependable.
• Getting started is simpler: create a circle or join one with a code, then invite people in one tap.
• Each person's card shows where they are, for how long, and their battery, with directions and history one tap away.
• Sharing controls are clearer: share exactly, share an approximate area, or pause, per circle.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-19
