The first update after 2.0 is here, and it touches almost every corner of the app. If you love driving, you're going to love this one.

## Drive with CarPlay

Your drives now show up right on your car's display. Start a drive, watch your stats, and stop recording — all from CarPlay. Pair that with **Live Activities** on your lock screen and Dynamic Island, and you've got real-time distance, duration, and speed without ever unlocking your phone.

And if iOS closes Ryvve in the background mid-drive? No worries — your drive picks right back up with no data lost.

## Make It Yours

We added an **app icon picker** in Profile Settings. Choose from a collection of alternate icons and make Ryvve feel like yours on the home screen.

There's also a new **profile photo cropper** — get the framing just right whether you're setting up your account for the first time or updating your look.

## A Simpler Garage

Adding a car to your garage is now faster and less fussy. We stripped out unnecessary fields so you can get your build listed without filling out a form. Car photos are optional too — a clean placeholder holds the spot until you're ready to show it off.

## Cruises Meet Clubs

Cruises can now be linked to a club, making it crystal clear who's organizing the ride. Club detail pages also show car owners now, so you can match builds to faces.

## Drive Privacy Built In

New privacy defaults, a consent screen before your first drive, speed display warnings, and encrypted drive data. We want you to feel good about every mile you track.

## Under the Hood

Map markers load faster. Club approval alerts actually take you to the club. Email validation stopped rejecting perfectly valid addresses. The cruise creation form doesn't overlap buttons anymore. Dozens of small fixes that add up to a noticeably smoother experience.
