## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-03

Fixed: you can now join and chat in a huddle you were invited to.

Before this, opening a room you had not already joined showed you the conversation with no way to reply — no message box and no explanation. If someone invited you and you could not talk, that was why. Now you get a Join button.

Also in this update

- The Jump row lights up the rooms your friends are actually in, and says who is there.
- Cleaned up the room header so long room names are no longer cut off.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-02

Find the people you know

- Side Huddle now checks for friends from your contacts on its own, so you hear about it when someone you know shows up. Everything is checked on your phone and nothing is stored.
- Tap anyone to see their profile and the rooms you are both in.

Invites that actually go somewhere

- Inviting a friend now sends them straight into your room instead of the website, with a preview of what they are joining.
- New members land in their team's room from the start.

Also in this update

- Sharing a moment from a room opens on that moment.
- The Coach shows when it is thinking.
- Live scores fixed for rooms that were showing the wrong game.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-28

Claim your chapter's room.
If you run a fan club or alumni chapter and we've emailed you a code, enter it when you sign up and your room is built for you — named for your chapter, with you as the owner.

Also in this release:
• Set a photo behind your room's chat, so it looks like yours
• Your own picks now show up in Picks, including ones still waiting on a taker
• Clearer spread labels — no more "by -2+"
• Share a room and the link now shows the room's name and photo
• Swipe down to dismiss the keyboard in a chat
• Fixes to game recaps and to news posting the same thing twice

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-26

Find your people, and never watch alone.

• Find your people — see which of your contacts are already here. Your contacts stay on your device; we only check for matches.
• Pick your team when you sign up and land straight in that team's room.
• Friends Now shows everyone you know, with whoever's watching right now up top — tap to jump into their room.
• Rally the huddle now does both halves: it pings everyone in the room AND lets you pull in the people who aren't there yet.
• Get a heads-up when a friend starts watching, when someone you know joins, or when someone asks into your room.
• New notification settings — turn any of it on or off.
• Room owners can make a room "ask to join" and approve people themselves. Free for everyone.
• Search now shows rooms where you actually know somebody, instead of a list of strangers.
• Fixed live scores and in-game updates that had stopped coming through.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-20

Tap a room link someone shares with you and it now opens straight to that room in the app, instead of sending you to the website.

Clips from the game play right in the chat.

@coach shows you it's working on your question instead of going quiet.

Also fixed: rooms with one member no longer read "1 people", and pick buttons no longer break words in half.
