Zwift released a minor update to its Companion app yesterday. Here’s a quick video from our favorite Aussie Lama summarizing the changes:
“Only Zwifters I Follow” Event Filter
When the new “Only Zwifters I Follow” filter is enabled, events will only show up if one or more Zwifters you follow are signed up for the event. This makes it easier to join friends on upcoming races or group rides!

Two friends are signed up!
Add Events to Android Calendar
You can now add Events and Meetups to your device calendar on Android. Great news for the Android crowd!
iOS Version Note
It’s worth noting that Zwift Companion version 3.15 (and 3.14, actually) on iPhone/iPad require iOS 11 and newer. If you are on iOS 9 or 10, you will only be able to go up to Companion version 3.11.1.
Don’t upgrade if you use the app to control your trainer because it won’t work: https://forums.zwift.com/t/controllable-trainer-is-not-discoverable-using-zwift-companion-v-3-15-0/477571
I found this out the hard way yesterday and had to pair through my Apple TV instead which meant forgoing my cadence sensor since I could only pair to two devices.
Would be useful to have this warning in the post I think.
As a Mac/iOS user I’m caught between three bugs : can’t find kickr using MacBook bluetooth; can’t use ZC on iOS to act as a bridge; and the iOS Zwift app causes ‘strobe lights’ to appear in the rendering.
Zwift amateurism becoming harder to explain with the scale of their revenues.
I got caught by this today as well. Is this a bug that is being fixed?
How about a time of day filter?! Generally don’t need to scroll through the 9pm to 4am listings (at a minimum)!
Couldn’t connect wahoo kickr controllable through companion any more but works fine using my iPad very frustrating
Is there a way to segment your followers into groups. Like a Group for regular ride. Instead of sifting through long list.
Not at this time.
Ever since the update last month I haven’t been able to pair my hrm. It worked just fine from October until a month ago. Then the app was “updated” and boom, no discoverable HRM. Now others are having pairing issues with this “update.” It seems iOS “updates” are merely roadblocks to the continued use of my current device. I guess if you don’t upgrade your iPhone every 6 months you’re out of luck. I miss my flip phone!
Brilliant site. It brings a lot the overall enjoyment of the program. Does wearing a helmet give any aero advantage?
Not at this time, although Zwift has stated that helmets could offer an aero advantage, if they set them up to do so. None of our tests have confirmed an aero advantage, though.
Road to Sky is back as a route for Meetups!
Thank you Zwift for update 3.15.1. The update 3.15.0 clobbered my ability to control 3 devices on the Apple TV and I ended up installing an app on my iPad for monitoring HR. I thought I was going nuts. But after installing 3.15.1 all is back to working again…..
I keep getting a message saying that Zwift Companion is out of date, but it’s the latest version. I can’t load companion at all now. What’s going on?
Came to say this exact thing. Frustrated as hell.
I get exactly the same message, deleted the Companion app and downloaded again from ios, but it still says it is out of date
I’m getting this too..
This is happening to me as well. Companion was working earlier today for me.
I got the same problem.
Can’t update to newer version of app.
