What's New in Wave
1.0.320
November 2, 2026
New - Event chat now follows the newest messages, so a busy crawl chat keeps updating instead of going quiet. - The wave cards in your Waves tab show photos of the members in the group waving at you. - A weak-signal cold launch opens the app instead of hanging, falling back to your saved profile. - Signing back in takes you straight to your account, never back through setup. - If one tab hiccups it reloads on its own, instead of the whole app showing a stack trace. - Notification setup is steadier: your device re-registers every time you sign in. - Group names are unique to each event, so two groups on the same crawl can't share a name, and offensive names are blocked. - Success screen: your vibe avatar, clearer name cards, and the "You" label lands on the right person. - Waves respect a group's settings, so you only reach groups open to hearing from you. - Fixed: the spotlight pin in Pulse now wraps in full instead of clipping. Also - Costume contests: enter a photo, vote, see the winner - Going solo? Your own card shows who else is going - Events have their own screen; start a group or go solo - Discover: events near you, by when they happen - Everyone 18+. Bar crawls stay 21+
