Game night, right in your group chat. Play 9 games hosted by the AI: Trivia, Fill-In, Bet On Me, Most Likely To, Would You Rather, Two Truths and a Lie, Judge's Court, Who Said It, and Well, That Escalated. - A bold new game look with a countdown, points and a winner's podium. - Inviting friends is easier: tap everyone you want, then Invite. You'll see who's already in. - See whether a chat is private or public right from the share card. - Fixes and polish.

The message box now sits above the keyboard. Inviting people works the same everywhere: text someone from your contacts, send a link, show a QR code, or AirDrop. Making a plan now takes you straight to inviting people, and every plan invite opens the plan card. Plans › Me opens faster.

New sidebar: rooms at a glance, faces on every chat, and your next plan one tap away. Invite anyone your way: QR code that several friends can scan, text, email, AirDrop, or your crew. Suggest a new time or place for a plan and let the group weigh in. Can’t make it? Opt out and back in any time. Safer, fairer replies when two people disagree. Bug fixes.

Safety first: private support cards that only you can see, clearer help when someone is at risk, and no rewrites of serious messages. Fairer cost splits when someone stays fewer nights. Fewer false “code” warnings. Post AI drafts to the group with a “Drafted with AI” tag. The Judge now hears an appeal once. Bug fixes.

Photo Remix: pick up to 3 photos and edit them together with AI, right in your chat. Plans: share a plan with a link, a QR code, or by holding iPhones together. Friends tap “I’m in” and join the group chat. Safety and reply improvements.

On iPhone, Add from contacts now works when you invite people to a chat or plan. In Plans, Make it a plan on a Picked for you place now goes straight to choosing who to invite. Host your own is at the top of Make a plan. Trouble signing in? Get email help with password resets, Google or Apple sign-in, setting a password, or confirming your email. Sign-in errors are clearer, with a Get sign-in help button. On iPhone, email sign-in retries once if the connection drops.

Add people to a chat or plan using your contacts, text or email. Each invite opens in your Messages or Mail app with its own link, and you send it yourself. Everyone in the chat or plan sees "Maya · invited by text" until Maya joins, then she appears under her own name. With Add people, the number or email stays on your phone. In Plans, pick an occasion like a birthday, game night or watch party to get ideas, a who's-bringing-what list and a checklist. Have a code from a creator or campus rep? Enter it when you sign up or on the Plans page. Plans opens faster. Places that will be closed at the time you're planning to go no longer show up first.

Links open the app. Tap a SharedChat link in Messages, Mail or Notes and it opens right in the app, on the right thread or debate, instead of the browser. Under the hood: we now measure which ads bring people to SharedChat, so we can spend less on the ones that don't. No tracking prompt, and nothing from your chats is ever shared. Also: small fixes.

Smoother sign-in. If Apple or Google sign-in doesn't finish, you now get a clear message about what to do. Resend waits a moment between taps so your verify email doesn't get blocked, and tells you to check spam. Better sharing. Links to public debates open the full debate page, and open right in the app if you have it. Also: small fixes.

Thumbs up, thumbs down. Like a place to see it a little higher next time. Thumbs down hides it for good, for you and anyone planning with you. Changed your mind? Undo right away, or bring it back anytime from Me > Liked & hidden places. Way more places. Thousands more restaurants, bars and spots in every area, with the best ones first in each part of town, and award winners like MICHELIN picks marked on the card. Better "Nice night out." Real sit-down spots only: no fast food, buffets or chains. More photos. Cards now show photos from the venue's own website and free photo libraries, so fewer blank cards. Faster. Lists and photos you've seen open instantly, the next swipe card's photo is ready before you get there, and new pages load in under a second. Also: places listed twice now show once, and fixes.

Plan anywhere. Type any town or neighborhood and pick it from the list. New places get mapped in a few minutes, and times use the local time zone, so trips work too. Shows first. Comedy, Live music and Theater now start with real shows coming up near you, with Invite friends and Get tickets, then the best venues. Cleaner lists. Every category shows only real places to go out: no more stray businesses in Comedy or Live music. Beaches and trails now come from mapped trails and beaches. Endless spots. Keep scrolling (or swipe) and we widen the search instead of running out. Share an invite link. Friends without the app can say “I’m in” with just their first name, and it counts toward the plan. A better invite. Invites now show the place, who invited you, who’s in so far, and a big “I’m in” button. Running late? One tap tells the group you’re 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes late. Open at your time. Spot cards show whether a place is open at the time you picked. Also new: Festivals in Shows, campgrounds, a clearer 21+ check, and fixes.

See every show near you. Tap "See all" in Plans to browse concerts, comedy, sports and more near you, sorted by what fits you best or by soonest. Experiences you can book any day. Candlelight concerts, immersive exhibits, mysteries and tours near you, with photos and prices. Invite friends to an experience. Pick a day and time, choose who's coming, and they get the invite. Once someone says yes, a group chat opens with the ticket link so everyone can grab their own. Plus fixes and polish, including more reliable notifications.

Making plans just got way easier. • Make a plan in three taps: pick what to do, pick a spot, tap your friends. • Pick any day in the next two weeks and any time. We mark the best times for what you're doing. • Real photos and ratings for spots near you. • A fresh Plans home with your next plan up top, invites waiting on you, and plans you made, all in one place. • Fixes and polish.

Plans has a new home: For you, Friends and Me. Play a quick this-or-that and get picks that show why they fit you. Invite friends to a concert or show and everyone lands in one group chat with a Get tickets button. Tickets and links now open right inside SharedChat. See what you and your friends have in common, and rate a plan after you go so your picks keep getting better.

New: Plans. Connect with friends and family, and each week SharedChat suggests an outing you both actually like, at a time you're both free. When you both say yes, you get a plan chat, directions and a calendar invite. Choose how you know each person and what you like doing together. Tap Directions, Website or Add to calendar right on the plan. A cleaner launch screen. Fixes to profile saving and many smaller improvements.

What's New in 1.2.7 - Fixed a layout issue where messages could overlap the header or the message bar - The sidebar now opens to the room you're currently in, instead of always showing General - Fixed a hang when opening your Planning Profile - Tidied up the spacing at the bottom of the message bar so it sits flush - Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements

We've been busy making SharedChat better for everyone in the thread: Invites fixed - when someone invites you to a shared chat, you can now jump in and send your first message right away. Dark mode - easier on the eyes, day or night. Elaborate - tap to get a deeper, expanded take on any reply (this replaces "Fact-check"). Places near you - ask things like "pizza near me" or "coffee nearby" and get real suggestions right in the chat. Recent chats now show up when you go to invite or share, so it's faster to bring people in. Better planning together - pick, rotate, and vote on options as a group. Everyone gets their own color, so it's always clear who said what. Room color themes, plus speed and stability improvements throughout. Thanks for using SharedChat - keep the feedback coming!

A cleaner look and more personal planning. - Refreshed the top bar with a simpler, less cluttered layout. - New planning profile: add your dietary needs, allergies, budget, and home area so group planning can use them. It stays off until you opt in, and you decide what the planner can see. - Faster, sharper replies plus a range of stability fixes.

Six rooms, one shared AI, now with tools built for each room. • Remind us: type "dinner Friday 7pm" and everyone in the room gets a push when it's time. • Find us something to do: nearby ideas for Friends, Relationships and Parenting rooms. Only you see them until you post one. • Plan it (Friends): three time options that become a poll the group can vote on. • Decide together (Relationships): fair pros and cons that both of you can add to. • House rules (Parenting): turn the disagreement into rules everyone can see. • Schedule swap (Co-Parenting): a calm, ready-to-send request that runs through the tone check. • Rematch (Settle It): new evidence? Reopen the last ruling and let The Judge rule again. • Settle It now shows who's ready (0/2, 1/2) and updates live for both sides. • Privacy, in plain language: encrypted in transit and at rest, the AI only ever sees a first name and initial, and we never sell or train on your conversations. • Free plan: 10 AI replies a day. Plus and Pro: unlimited replies, 20 or 50 images a month.

This update makes SharedChat's AI replies sharper and more useful: answers get to the point faster, with the option to expand for the full detail when you want it. We've also added a show/hide toggle on the password field so signing in is easier, plus behind-the-scenes improvements to speed and reliability.

Co-Parenting now checks the tone of a message before it goes out. If something reads as heated, you get a calmer version to send instead, or you can send yours as written. Nothing is sent without you. Starting a new chat always opens a blank thread, no matter what you were reading before. New chats name themselves right after the first reply, and the name shows up in the header and the sidebar right away. Copy on any reply now gives you clean text, not markdown symbols. Replies look tidier: bold renders properly, headings and lists stay put, and the room no longer signs its own messages. People without a profile photo get an initial in the room's color. Stability and polish throughout.

• Start any type of conversation right from your iPhone. • New chats now name themselves automatically. • A cleaner, steadier sidebar that stays put as you move around. • Switching spaces now opens a fresh chat. • Stability and polish improvements throughout.
