This covers all pages including the Quiz, Lists, Discovery, Venue Details, Settings, Vibe Verified dashboard, and more.

Personalised recommendations now use your taste quiz results and favourited venues to generate better matches. Dismissed venues and places you've already saved are filtered out. The same three picks no longer repeat on every visit.
