Yesterday Zwift HQ has released the latest major upgrade to their mobile app for iOS and Android which includes two major new features: an events browser and a Strava friend finder.
Zwift HQ has retained a consistent focus on  bringing cyclists together, and these tools will help make that happen. (Zwift says on their homepage: “Make new friends. Connect with old ones. Drop into the Zwift community and never ride alone.”)
Events
You can now browse upcoming events from the app and mark that you plan to attend. Event details displayed include start time (in your local timezone!) ride name, description, lap count, and number of people attending. All listed events will begin in the newly launched staging areas on Watopia and Richmond, allowing for more organized group rides.
Note: if you are a group ride organizer who wants their ride on this official events list, you should contact Charlie Issendorf at Zwift HQ.
Find on Strava
The search tool has been upgraded to easily find Zwifters who you already follow on Strava. Simply click “search” from the app home screen, then click “Find on Strava.” This will bring up a list of Strava users who also use Zwift, so you can follow them on Zwift if you’d like.
