NEW - A new pink app icon, plus five more to pick from in Profile - A new intro screen explains what WRRU is and why it's private by design - Threads show your messages and theirs more clearly - Your own photos now appear in the thread - Swipe from the left edge to close a thread - The friends list shows where things stand at a glance

Post a photo to everyone at once instead of picking one person. It stays on your friends' home screen for a day, and they can react or write back. You can add the area you're in — the district and city, nothing more precise.

Home tells you when somebody has said something. Their block lights up until you've read it, and one tap opens what they said. More conversation, less app. A friend's screen has been rebuilt around the column you actually read — the handle moved up into the top of the screen, the buttons are one line, and there's half as much furniture between you and the last thing that was said. You can see who said what at a glance. Yours sit to the right, theirs to the left. Tap a notification about something somebody said and you land on it, in their thread, instead of on the home screen. A full guide, under your profile. Every screen, and what to do when something isn't behaving. Saving a photo a friend sent you works properly again, and a photo opened a second time comes up with the way out where it should be.

Say something back. SAY now takes a line of your own as well as a mark, so a photo with a few words under it can be answered in kind. Six reactions to choose from: LOVE, HA, WOW, MISS, YES and NO. Everyone you know has a thread. Everything between the two of you in one column — photographs at full width, keeping up on its own while you read. You will know what time it is where they are. Four in the morning matters more than "online an hour ago", so their card says so, and only when it is worth knowing. Home is bolder. Where you are runs across the top in the app's own face, and one band along the bottom holds everybody.

Say something without asking anything. SAY — open a friend's thread, tap SAY, and send LOVE, HA, WOW or MISS on its own. No question attached, nothing to answer. They send one back, and that's the whole conversation. PING and PHOTO have moved to the bottom of the thread, where your thumb already is. Your photos are back where you can see them: a strip of the pictures between the two of you, at the top of the thread. Tap any one to open it. One list instead of two. Friend requests and unopened photos now sit in FRIENDS with everyone else, and tapping a face on Home opens your whole thread with that person — every ping, every answer, every photo, in the order it happened. Home is quieter. Your profile and ADD moved to the top corners, the bottom edge is a single button, and it lights up when something is waiting. The map now appears only when a friend answers, and it shows where they are rather than where you are. However few friends you have, they fill the screen.

ANSWER WITHOUT SAYING WHERE YOU ARE Can't share your location? Send one of four quick replies instead. They still hear back — nobody is left with silence. SAY SOMETHING BACK React or reply to a friend's answer. Asking where someone is now goes both ways. EVERYTHING WITH ONE PERSON, IN ONE PLACE Open a friend to see every ping and photo between you two, in order. SEE WHO'S WAITING ON YOU A friend who has asked where you are now shows on your home screen, with their fifteen minutes running down on the card. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - Fixed: a ping could go missing if you opened the app more than a few minutes after it arrived - Tapping a ping notification now opens the ping itself - You're told when a friend replies to the location you shared

STRAIGHT TO THE CAMERA Tap PHOTO on a friend and the camera opens right away. No screen in between. NOTIFICATIONS NAME NAMES See who a ping or a photo is from before you open it. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - The line around the edge of your screen now draws on every iPhone - Home is tidier — the map runs all the way to your location

A NEW LOOK WRRU has been rebuilt from the ground up. Every screen is bigger, bolder and easier to read at a glance — names you can actually see, and color that tells you what needs you now and what can wait. PICK YOUR COLOR Green or pink. Choose when you set up, change any time in your profile. Both free. PHOTO WIDGET The last photo a friend sent you, on your home screen. Long-press it to pick a friend, then tap to send one back. It clears itself after 24 hours, like everything else here. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - A glow around the edge of your screen in your color - Send one photo to several friends at once - Photos you haven't opened wait in your Inbox - Tapping a photo notification opens it right away

PHOTO DROPS Sometimes "where are you?" is really "what are you seeing?" Now you can answer both. - Send a photo from your camera or library, with a short caption - It arrives full-screen with its own alert, right beside your pings - Gone after 24 hours — saved to their Photos only if they choose - One tap of "Got it" tells you it was seen

Richer location sharing -Received locations now show a real address and whether your friend was walking, running, cycling, or driving - not just coordinates. Notifications improved -You now reliably get notified when a friend pings you - even when the app is closed or in your pocket. Cleaner, calmer design -Refreshed the location screen and smoothed out the overall look. Performance & reliability improvements
