• Refreshed Home, Go, Equip, Abide, and Chats layouts. • New Mapbox maps with light and dark styles for finding groups. • Clearer actions to view a group, view its leader’s profile, or request to join. • Open group details directly from group chats. • Better organization and navigation for training and resources. • Improved Bible selection and church connection forms. • ATN-branded fallbacks for missing group and profile photos. • Fixed scrolling jumps, button spacing, and screen padding.

Creating groups and inviting people is now easier. • Start a Bible study or activity group directly from Abide or Chats. • Set up your group with simpler forms, easier selections, and automatic location-based defaults. • Meeting language is now required to help people find a group they can follow. • Invite people from recent chats or search by name, email, or phone. • Invite friends by text or email, even if they haven't joined ATN yet. • Invitations carry through signup using the invited email or phone. Member-sent invitations still require leader approval. • Improved formatting keeps group details consistent.

Finding a group is easier, and so is running one. Groups and gatherings are one search now. Type a group's name, a leader's name or a town, and filter by how far away it is, when it meets, where it is, and the language it meets in. Results come as a list or a grid, whichever you prefer, and turning on Near me counts how many are close to you. If nothing fits, the screen offers to start the group that is missing. Starting one asks for less guesswork. Pick your state and your time zone from a list instead of typing them, so the day and time you set are the day and time a stranger reads. You can add a photo of the group, or of where you meet, and say which language it meets in, which is how somebody finds a room they can follow. A group can have more than one person running it. Make a member a co-leader and they can answer join requests, keep the details right, and see the meeting address. You can take that back, and you can hand the group over entirely, which makes them the leader and leaves you as a co-leader. Everyone involved is told when it happens. When a season ends, close the group. It comes off the directory and the website, anybody still waiting to join is turned down, and your chat stays exactly where it is. Open it again whenever you like. Your group chat is also ready the moment you create the group. Before this, a leader could not open their own chat until a stranger had asked to join and been accepted, which is backwards. Every group now has its own page on the web, so a link you text or print opens something a person can read before they install anything. Tap that same link on a phone with the app and it opens the group itself. Thanks for being part of Activate The Nation.

Find a group that fits your week. • Filter by the day or days a group meets — pick Tuesday and Thursday if those are the evenings you're free. • Filter by the language a group meets in. The list now shows only the languages groups actually meet in, so you're not choosing between options that lead nowhere. • Leaders can set the language their group meets in, when they create it or when they edit it later. • Group links shared from activatethenation.com now open straight to that group in the app. • Clearer, more consistent headings throughout.
