  • Reduce the need for switching apps by hearing what friends are listening to at the moment.
  • Save their shared songs directly to your Spotify library without leaving the app environment.
  • Tap phones together to initiate a quick 'BUMP' and notify friends of your current hangout.
• Places:
  • Automatically detects locations you visit, allowing you to build a personalized geographical record.
  • Search any location, see if friends have been there, get directions, or save for future reference.
  • Identify neighboring venues such as bars or whether friends are at home.
• Scratch Map:
  • Automatically compiles a map of all the locations you've visited using your smartphone’s sensors.
  • Engage in friendly competition with contacts to uncover your local territory fully.
  • Keep a log of overnight stays and companions during those visits.
• Navigation:
  • Obtain directions to meet friends or visit places using integrated map or ride-hailing services.
  • Share your real-time estimated time of arrival via your friends’ lock screens.
