New in yesterday’s iPhone and Android releases: lightning fast check-ins!

If you’ve downloaded the latest iPhone or Android updates, you may have noticed a pretty blue box that sometimes appears at the top of your friends tab that takes you straight to the check-in screen for the place you’re at.

We’re constantly working to speed up your experience, and this will make checking in faster, leaving you more time to check out the tips and see if there are any great specials to unlock. We’ll only remind you if your phone’s been at the same place for awhile, and you can still choose whether or not you want to check in. As always, your location is never shared unless you check in. And, if the suggestion isn’t right (sorry!), just tap the normal check-in button above it and we’ll give you the full list of places to choose from.

Enjoy your faster check-ins! Here’s to more great tips, specials, and an easier way to tell your friends about that amazing concert you’re at.
