What's New in LocShare App
1.4.4
September 15, 2026
What's New in 1.4.4 Down For pings now reach your friends even if they're not currently Live, so you can still get a response when someone's phone is quiet for a bit. Fixed a bug where some real connections weren't showing up properly across the map, Down For, messaging, and leaderboards, or would show as "Unknown contact" instead of their name. The distance indicator on Mutuals profiles now shows more precise ranges, so you get a better sense of how far someone actually is. Added a couple of new tips to help you get more out of the app, including a better explanation of the Down For button and a nudge to invite friends and family for the best experience. Small polish to the profile prompts (what you're reading, watching, listening to, etc.) so they show up more often and with more variety.
