Release notes — July 5, 2026
This update is all about the moments that matter most when you're out on an adventure: seeing your route clearly, staying signed in when the signal drops, and getting an honest picture of the day you actually had. Here's what's new.
A clearer map to plan by
Your SupaRes 2D map is looking like itself again. We restored the details that had gone missing — labels, contour lines, roads, streets, and place names — so you can read the terrain at a glance whether you're scouting a trailhead or finding a friend at the meetup point.
We also fixed an issue where the high-resolution overlay could quietly stop applying, leaving the map looking flat or incomplete. The enhanced terrain imagery now stays active and renders more consistently, and it holds up when you switch basemaps or reload the view. What you see is what you get, every time.
Stay signed in, even off the grid
Adventures don't wait for cell service, and now neither does your login.
Once you've signed in, Thred keeps working offline for up to 30 days — so long trips, remote trails, and dead zones won't lock you out. We also fixed a "Page not found" error that could pop up when you returned to the app after a long stretch offline.
After a week away from a connection, a quick Face ID or fingerprint check keeps you moving — no password, no signal required. And your account stays protected either way: if a device is ever lost or stolen, offline access still locks down automatically.
Weather that matches your morning
If you caught a quiet sunrise hike, your adventure post should show the cool, calm morning you actually experienced — not the day's warmest afternoon reading. Weather now reflects the real time you were out, so every recap tells the true story of your day.
We also tucked weather into a compact tile right alongside your other stats, so everything about your adventure lives in one clean view.
A cleaner elevation profile
The elevation chart got a tidy-up so your route is easier to read at a glance:
Removed the busy background gridlines
Added a clear "Distance (mi)" label
Trimmed the axis numbers to just what you need
Added a "Tap the chart to explore" hint, so it's obvious you can scrub along your route to see elevation and distance at any point
Here are the additional user-facing changes that we updated over the past month and you may have already seen:
Maps
Trails now appear at lower zoom levels, so you can spot routes without zooming all the way in.
Fewer blank map tiles offline, with fallback for points of interest, trails, and route geometry.
Faster, more reliable trail loading — fixed queries that could time out when panning across large areas.
Offline mode
Clearer offline experience: the app announces offline mode at launch, shows degraded-connection status as normal notifications, and greys out features that need a connection (Chat, Groups, Connect).
Notifications
Restored push notifications for connection requests.
Per-type notification preferences — choose which notifications you receive, and enabling any single type now correctly turns on push delivery.
General notification and navigation improvements.
Adventure posts & activity details
3D perspective preview is now the primary image in the adventure gallery, with more reliable preview generation.
Map previews now generate for imported GPX, TCX, and FIT activities.
Friendlier empty state — a troll illustration appears when an adventure has no crew yet.
Groups, Connect & messaging
More reliable group chat creation, plus a fix for a tab that could reset unexpectedly.
Connect discovery recovers gracefully from bad data and no longer dead-ends in the discover-people flow.
Removed the unused conversation-mute option from messages.
Route builder & imports
Fixed a save/update error in the route builder.
Fixed GPX pill text overflowing its container.
File imports on Android now detect the correct file type even when the file has no extension.
Onboarding
Added a guided tour to help new users find key features, with translation and page updates.
Thanks for being out there with us. Every fix here came from making Thred a little more dependable when you need it — so you can spend less time fiddling with the app and more time on the trail with people who matter.
