Close Circle 2.0 is a rebuild, not a refresh. Every screen has been redrawn, and a lot of the app now does things it only used to imply. NEW Places. Name the spots that matter and your circle is told when you get there and when you leave. Arrive and leave alerts, per place, with a radius you set. Voice notes. Hold to talk in any chat. Kept 14 days. Pings. Ask someone if they're alright without starting a conversation. One tap to answer. Battery alerts. Your circle finds out your phone is dying before it dies, during a trip. Transit. A fourth way to travel, with arrival times to match. An emergency setup step. Pick your country and confirm the emergency number Close Circle will show you, before you ever need it — not in the middle of an emergency. BETTER A new look throughout: warmer, rounder, easier to read at a glance and in a hurry. Trips can start without a chaperone. Nobody should be stuck at the door because their circle is empty. Arrival times now reflect how you're actually travelling. More than one emergency contact, in the order they should be called. FIXED Saving a place failed every time. Adding an emergency contact failed every time. Both are fixed — and if you tried either before and gave up, it wasn't you. SOS failed when you weren't already on a trip, which was the moment it mattered most. The alerts list could spin forever after opening the app. Photos took a long time to crop and then didn't save. Recording a voice note could briefly lock up the screen.
