Your leaderboard now shows its empty seats. With fewer than three friends, Stride points out exactly who's missing, by name where it can. Go fill them. Meet Nudge: one tap to poke the invites and friend requests people are pretending they didn't see. And if Stride ever stopped counting your steps behind your back, it now notices and tells you, instead of leaving you frozen at zero while everyone strolls past.

Pick your line. Every taunt is yours to choose now, house (default) voice included. Tap anyone on the board to send one. Your voices, one place. Switch taunt packs or go back to the house style without a trip through the store. Invite the easy way. Drop a link straight into the group chat and let them come to you. Fewer ghosts. We hunted down a batch of bugs that were quietly freezing people on the leaderboard, and made getting back in after a sign-out a one-tap job.

Voices are here. Your taunts now come with a personality. Send them as a corporate middle manager, a mystic astrologer, an unimpressed mom, or a theatrical cartoon villain. Grab one pack, or all four for less. More to come! Founder's Circle. Keep the lights on for $2.99 a month. Show your status with a crown on every board, you get new packs before anyone else, and you can send ideas straight to the one person who builds this. Collector badges. Pin your favorites to your row. Nobody asked. Now you can anyway. Plus a stack of small fixes, because that never ends.

You stay signed in. A rough launch, no signal, a slow reconnect, a server hiccup used to occasionally sign you out and freeze your spot on the board until you reopened the app. Sorted. Plus a round of quiet cleanup: smoother loading when you're flipping between today, this week, and global, and fewer phantom "something went wrong" messages when nothing actually did.

What's New • Weekly Wrapped landed. A swipeable recap of your week, your nemesis, your standings, ready to send to the group chat the moment Sunday resets. • Overtakes are a moment now. Pass a friend and you'll get a card to share, plus a taunt button right there so you can pour salt in the same breath. • Brag from anywhere. New share button on Leaderboard and Profile that turns your live step count into a card with a one-line stat for scale. The lines are weird on purpose. • Side Quests are showing up on the board. Three pinned badges next to your name so the group sees what you're cooking before they see your number. • Plus tighter leaderboard rows when names get long, a calmer live walker indicator, and the usual fewer-bugs-than-last-time.

What's New • Stride is on your home screen now. Your rank, your steps, and the gap between you and whoever's about to lap you. Tap the arrow to refresh, tap the card to open the leaderboard. • Past Results dropped. A full archive of every day you've logged, the wins and the flatlines alike. • Friendship Finder. A new side quest for the recruiters among us. • A real Settings menu finally moved into Profile. Took us a minute. • Plus faster leaderboard refresh when you accept a friend, a smoother first launch, and the usual fewer-bugs-than-last-time.

Side Quests are here. Five quests, four tiers each (Cooking, Cracked, Godly, Mythic). Earn them just by being you — opening the app, dominating, getting dominated, walking at weird hours. Pin up to three badges to your leaderboard row to flex. Taunt button moved: swipe left on any friend's row to reveal it.

We caught a few people looking suspiciously inactive. Here's the patch. Flatliners, beware Drop a 0-step day and you're out of the rankings. You get a skull, a "Check pulse" pill, and your own little section at the bottom of the board. The lowest actual walker now takes Couch King. Two new pushes worth opening "Sign of Life Check!" — pings you at local noon if you've logged zero steps. "Steps looking stale" — pings you in the evening if your phone hasn't synced in a few hours. Better to fix it than lock in a fake low. Final Standings catch up If your phone falls behind during the day (force-quit, dead Watch, gremlins), yesterday's row now self-heals the next time Stride wakes up. No more "wait, that's not what I walked." Pill palette glow-up Every award title gets its own color now. Couch King looks different from Step Daddy looks different from Almost Cooked. You'll know.

Invites now do something. When a friend you invited joins Stride, you get pinged the second they're in — and they show up as a pending friend on your board. One tap to accept. No separate request needed. Also fixed: • Surpass notifications. They were broken. They aren't anymore. • Weekly results screen no longer gets stuck loading • Phone number is now required at signup so friends can actually find you • Smaller layout and stability fixes throughout
