See progress while your recorded journeys are being organized. Journeys refresh more reliably after recording in the background. Improved layouts when viewing maps and photos side by side.

Bring your journeys to life with short video clips, travel icons, and named places along your route. Choose up to five seconds from each video to include in your replay. Create videos while you explore other parts of the app. Pause a video task and resume it later, even after reopening the app. Video creation pauses when you leave the app. Sharing finished videos is more reliable, and your map and journeys refresh when you return.

A simpler place for all your journeys. Combine the days you choose into one trip, even when the dates aren't consecutive. Journey photos and map previews now update after combining or separating trips, without restarting the app. Preview your replay before creating it. Drag the ends of the filmstrip to trim, then choose HD or FULL HD. HD is the default for faster video creation. The map follows your photos even when part of your route wasn't recorded. Upcoming photos prepare ahead for your replay, with clearer progress and retry options when iCloud photos are unavailable. Photos also recover more reliably when you return to the app. Routine journeys between home and your regular places can be archived after a one-way trip.

Multi-day trips are back in your journey overview. Combine the days you choose, including days without photos, and separate them again whenever you like. See clearer blue routes and faster-loading map previews. Photo and route covers now match in size. If a photo is removed, another photo takes its place, or your recorded route remains visible. Archiving returns you to your journeys right away. Enjoy faster replay creation and more reliable journey names and photo browsing.

Fog Replay now pauses at your photos, gently expands each memory, and smoothly returns to your route. Enjoy sharper photos, faster video creation, and a little more time to take in every moment. Enjoy smoother photo browsing, pinch-to-zoom journey maps and photos along your route. Settings are easier to find, with iCloud tools in their own group. Keep daily outings alongside longer trips, edit or archive your journeys, and save offline packs or journey books. Optional iCloud sync and backup help you keep your travel library, with automatic-backup and Wi-Fi-only choices.

Welcome to MythExplorer 2.0! • A colorful new app icon and a refreshed welcome page. • Move easily between Map, Journeys and Me. • Find map layers, photo import and yearly recaps more easily. • Clearer recording controls and location permission guidance.

The heatmap is fast now: • Zoom out to a whole city or country and it no longer stalls • It used to get slower the more you had explored; now it runs at the same speed however much history you have

The fog lifts while you're out: • Background tracking — the map fills in as you travel, even with MythExplorer closed • Battery comes first — recording turns the GPS down while you're still, and back up when you move • Landmark unlocks — arrive somewhere you've never explored and MythExplorer tells you. Museums, parks, beaches and viewpoints, found near wherever you are • Pick your style on first launch — bring in years of photos, or record as you go. Nothing is hidden either way; every feature stays in Settings • A badge on the map always says whether recording is on, and pauses it with one tap. Privacy zones cover background recording too, so nothing is ever saved inside them • Fixed: footprints recorded in the background could be lost, and the badge could say "just now" when nothing had been recorded for hours • Fixed: coming back from another app no longer sends you to the start screen • Fixed: large photo imports could quietly skip some locations. Tap Sync Photo Library in Settings to fill in anything that was missed • More of the app now appears in your own language

Your trips, found for you: • New "Your Trips" — every journey is picked out of your footprints automatically, with days, fog cleared and a day-by-day view; rename it or add a line about it • Fog replay videos — watch the fog lift over a trip day by day, then share it • Flight arcs on the 3D globe connect the places you flew between • Areas now come with a size you can picture, like "about 2 × Taipei City"

Meet your world in 3D: • A new globe view — tap the globe button on the map to switch • Every place you've been glows on the planet, even on the night side • Real sunlight: see which parts of the world are in daylight right now • Spin it, flick it, pinch to zoom

This update fixes the very first launch: • MythExplorer now asks for photo access properly the first time you open it • Say yes and scanning starts right away — no need to close and reopen the app • Say no and you get a clear explanation, plus a shortcut to Settings • Turn access on later and scanning continues the moment you come back • Once you've scanned once, later launches start on their own without asking again

This update makes location detection much more accurate: • Country pages now show only the footprints inside that country — no more mixing in travels from elsewhere • Added full region data for France and Norway, so trips there now count correctly • Added the Matsu Islands (Lienchiang), completing all 22 regions of Taiwan • Photos taken by the seaside or in harbors are now placed in the right region • Removed an invalid entry from the country list

• Full translations for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Arabic • Photo pins now spread out more evenly on the map • Fixed photos sometimes showing the wrong thumbnail • Settings now shows your real app version • Various stability improvements
