**Friends' activity keeps loading as you scroll.** The feed now pages through everyone you follow, so a very active friend no longer crowds out other people's posts. **The map waits for your full history.** A loading indicator shows while your routes load, so the map and its stats no longer appear partly filled in. **Follower counts are steadier.** Followers and following show a placeholder until the numbers are accurate, instead of briefly showing a wrong count. **WE ALSO RELEASED A NEW COMPANION WEB APP**

Long-press one to remove it. **Tag spots along a walk.** Drop a labeled tag at a memorable place while you're tracking, and it shows up on the walk afterward. **Filter the map by activity.** Show just walks, runs, or rides on your map instead of everything at once. **Reworked walk preview.** Tapping a walk on the map now shows distance, time, and pace in a cleaner stats layout. **Very short walks still count.** A walk with a single recorded spot now shows a map thumbnail and opens like any other. **Streamlined walk summary.** The save-a-walk form is tighter and quicker to fill out.
