In our most recent update to Untappd, we fixed bugs and made improvements. Make sure you update today on iOS and Android!

Name tags for quickly adding friends

Friends on Untappd are your way of seeing what your friends are drinking, checking-in, and adding to their lists. Adding new friends at the pub or at a festival should be a quick process. Nametags are a quick way to scan and quickly send friend requests without searching or guessing which friend is the one you want.

You can access your personal nametag by tapping the QR Code icon on the top of the Discover tab or the blue QR Code icon on your avatar on the Profile tab. This will display your nametag so others can scan it and send you friend requests. If you want to scan a nametag, you can use the same scanner you’ve always used on the Discover tab. You can also tap “Scan a Nametag” on your own nametag to use the scanner.

We’ve also made the default scanning option the barcode scanner to speed up this process.

Tag recent friends on check-in more quickly

Building on the changes from 3.4.3 to Recently Tagged and Nearby Friends, we’ve added those Recently Tagged Friends to the main Check-in screen. These work the same way Flavor Profile tags work: Tap a friend’s name to tag them in your check-in; tap the friend’s name again to remove them.

Manage friend groups from Profile

Groups have been a feature of the Activity tab for a while, but managing friends in those groups meant having to open the Activity tab and navigating to find it. We’ve now added the ability to manage these groups in Friends. Tap the Profile tab, tap the friends icon, and you’ll see Groups listed at the top. Add new groups, manage members, and rename all from your profile.

Untappd Beer Festival (Level 1)

Are you going to our inaugural Untappd Beer Festival in Charlotte, NC on May 4? If not, get your tickets now! But if you are, we’ve got a few new improvements to make checking-in and finding your beer easy.

Scan QR Code to see menu

Brewery booths at the festival will be outfitted with QR Codes with the brewery’s name on it. Scan this code with the in-app barcode scanner and we’ll take you directly to that brewery’s offerings at the festival. These menus are powered by our Untappd for Business platform and are sectioned for each brewery at the festival. Tap the beer to see more or use the options menu (•••) to select Check-in. We’ll pre-fill the location for you automatically!

Festival Map

Looking for a specific brewery? We’re making the festival map available on the Discover tab on May 4th. You can tap, scroll, and zoom to find the brewery you’re looking for or keep an eye out for signs across the stadium and on the video boards for more information.
