Your neighborhood, everywhere in iOS
Our biggest update yet. Step into any neighborhood without installing the app, let on-device Apple Intelligence read the vibe of your city, and reach mapdap from your Home Screen, Spotlight, Siri, and the Camera. Plus background zone alerts, Genmoji in chat, and a long list of polish.
- Neighborhood without installing — Tap a mapdap link and drop straight into a neighborhood — a live map of the zone and its chat — through a lightweight App Clip. Sign in with Apple to join the conversation, then get the full app whenever you are ready.
- On-device intelligence — Apple Intelligence now sorts City Vibes into themes and writes a private, on-device summary of what your area is feeling today — none of it ever leaves your iPhone.
- Widget + Live Activity — Add the Nearby Vibes widget to your Home or Lock Screen and watch it refresh with what is buzzing around you. When you post, a Live Activity follows the upload — on your phone, CarPlay, Mac, and Apple Watch.
- Siri, Spotlight & the Camera — Search a city in Spotlight, ask Siri, peek at nearby vibes in an interactive snippet, share a vibe from Visual Intelligence in the Camera, and long-press the app icon for quick actions.
- Genmoji in chat — Drop your own Genmoji right into zone chat — in messages, replies, and reply previews — so the conversation looks exactly like you mean it.
- Get notified when your zone gets busy even while mapdap is closed, with smarter background location wake-ups.
- A new chat filter quietly catches offensive language across the app and the App Clip.
- Subscription updates and your membership tier now show clearly in notifications and the inbox.
- Sensitive photos can now be automatically blurred before you see them.
- Location is sharper: we now ask for precise access when it helps and request permissions in the right order.
- Smoother chat — fixed a reply-send freeze and a keyboard scroll jump — and your city now always resolves on launch.
