Venue details and drive times on your events
See where you are going before you go. Plus a livelier event chat and friend suggestions that stay close to you.
Venue details on your events
A suggested place now travels with the event you save.
- A venue card in the event. When you pick a venue for an event, opening the event shows it as a card, the same one you saw when choosing it. Tap it for more details.
- Directions and contact. The card has a Get directions link that opens maps, a Contact button to call the place, and a More button for extra information.
- Drive time on suggestions. Event suggestions from a friend now say how many minutes it takes to drive there and how many miles it is.
- Places with a picture. Location cards in the event now use the place's photo as their background, with the name easy to read on top.
A livelier event chat
The comments under an event are quicker to read and to join.
- Newest first, input on top. The latest comment shows first, and the box to write one sits above them. Camera, pictures, GIFs and file icons sit in a row over the text box.
- Delete a comment with reactions. Comments that people reacted to with an emoji can now be deleted. Before, they could not.
- Answer an invitation again. An invitation you replied to shows “You're going” or “You declined” with a pencil, so you can change your answer.
- Tap a face to see who it is. Profile pictures in comments, invites and notifications now open that person's profile.
Friend suggestions near you
Ideas to meet up now make more sense for where everyone is.
- Only friends who are close. Suggestions now focus on friends near you, and they take into account trips you or your friends have planned.
- Your privacy still counts. Suggested events only show a friend's event titles if their calendar sharing lets you see them.
- Written to you. Travel notes now say “you” and “your” when they are about you, and name the specific place when they can.
More colour on Home and your calendar
Cards and shared calendars are easier to tell apart.
- Cards with a picture and motion. Home cards use a blurred photo or a slowly moving colour background. The moving colours stay when you switch between light and dark.
- Shared calendars in bold gradients. Each shared calendar gets its own two-colour blend with a light grain, so its events stand out in your calendar.
- Stickers on invites. An invite card without a cover picture can now show an animated sticker.
Smaller improvements
A few more fixes.
- Double-click a day, or double-tap on your phone, to start a new event on it.
- The Where field lists your recent places when you tap it empty.
- Multi-day events show their full start and end dates and times.
- On phones, the calendar fills the screen down to the bottom menu, and the map on the People page goes full screen.
- Your daily brief always shows the next event after today, and the daily quote is gone.
- In Settings, a camera button changes your photo and a small X removes it.
- If event creation can't read what you typed, the regular form opens instead.
