Photo Challenges are almost here! Keep an eye out for upcoming photo challenges in many communities — when one is available, you'll be able to submit high-quality photos, browse community submissions, vote for favorites, and explore locations and categories before joining. This release also brings a broad round of fixes.

New

Photo Challenges: once an upcoming photo challenge is available in your community, you'll be able to submit photos by location and category, keep images at high quality, browse community submissions, and vote in People's Choice challenges.

Improved

Empty state cards on photo challenge Photos, challenge Tasks, challenge Badges, and the Social feed now share the same look, spacing, and typography.
Organization logos display more clearly in compact inline spaces, with better borders and contrast.
Saving a bookmark is snappier — the app updates locally instead of waiting on a heavy server round-trip.
The Select a Challenge screen has a cleaner list layout and now shows which organization is hosting each challenge.

Fixed

Challenge screens keep tabs, sheets, sorting, and join prompts cleaner and more consistent.
Check-ins tied to challenges have clearer copy, better challenge selection controls, removable selected challenges, task type labels back on Check-In cards, and the right success screen after completing a challenge task.
Cleaned up the "Hosted by" attribution on challenge details so the organization logo lines up with the text.
Social cards handle long text, official links, point-of-interest icons, private challenge access, and location names more reliably.
Links in social posts now use the app's sky blue color and underline so they stand out without clashing with regular text.
Creating a post with a photo no longer occasionally attaches the same image twice.
Post text no longer shrinks to an unreadable sliver after leaving and returning to the Social feed.
Articles, events, challenge details, and task descriptions render rich text more safely and consistently.
Reserve buttons, selected trail dashes, location verification prompts, and the offline feature cache all behave more reliably.
The prompt that confirms you're at a challenge location now has proper spacing and alignment and matches the rest of the app's modals.
A stale "Introducing Offline Maps" highlight no longer pops up on launch.
