Hey all! I want to share some news regarding development.

You might have noticed that the S+ app was recently updated. We’ve introduced bi-directional communication, which unlocks two major features: geoposition-based laps and sending messages directly to the watch.

Here are the details:

Geo Laps: You can now place a checkpoint and set a “LAP” action for it. When you reach that endpoint, a lap will automatically trigger on your watch.
Messages: Your watch can now receive messages! There are currently two use cases:
- From a Checkpoint: You can send a message via a checkpoint—just check if the watch icon is active, and the message will be sent to your wrist.
- Message from Live view: People watching your activity live can send messages right from the browser. For now, this is a hidden feature. they need to manually add ?messenger=true to the end of the URL. so it would lok like beta.athletica.one/live/@username?messenger=true

All these features should work on the current Live.τ app, but for the best experience, I recommend joining the TestFlight tester group.

Here’s a video example of how messages work: https://drive.proton.me/urls/PWRAQW3VE0#jI2tOqIIdfr8

I’ve also prepared an app update. It’s currently in review, but I hope it will be publicly available next week. One of the major improvements is better session restoration logic.

In situations where the watch or phone disconnects, the next version will check for any unfinished activities. You’ll be asked if you want to continue the session or start a new one. If the disconnect happens in the background, we will automatically resume the session for you.

More info coming in the next post when it hits the stores!

P.S. We are also working on live streaming capabilities! This will allow you to stream your location to YouTube, Instagram, or Twitch whatever via RTMP. Let me know in the comments if this sounds interesting to you.
