Hey Untappd Community, we’ve got a quick update for you on a few badge changes and issues we’re working to resolve. In the spirit of transparency and keeping you as up-to-date as we can, here are a few key updates on badges:
Pride365
This year we introduced a new badge kicking off during Pride Month called “Pride365.” You can read more about it here. In the post, we mentioned we were working on making this a levelable badge and the update is ready! Pride365 can now be leveled up to 100 on every 5 new beers checked in from one of these Queer-owned and Queer-led breweries! We’re working to update the list with new breweries right now and introduce a new way to submit breweries for consideration, so stay tuned to our blog for more soon.
Support for Ukraine
There was a significant backlog of beers submitted for consideration of the Support for Ukraine badge that had inadvertently been skipped as our form malfunctioned starting in the new year. We severely regret the error and have worked to add all suggested beers to the qualifications list as quickly as possible. Going forward, new beers will be added to this list at a minimum every Thursday. Thank you for those that reached out to make sure things were working (they weren’t 🙃) and for being patient while we work to get this back up and running.
As long as the check in happened after the creation of the badge on March 10, 2022, these newly added beers will be factored in to your next check in to a qualifying beer and level-up as expected. Reach out to our Support team for help if you are running into issues earning this badge.
Beer Foodie
We’ve seen reports of some badges, including specifically the Beer Foodie badge not properly displaying progress or qualifying during check ins at previously qualified location categories. Our venue category badges are powered by the same categories that power Foursquare venues, so if changes are made on Foursquare, it is possible for those changes to impact badge progress or qualifications.
We’re actively working to investigate and resolve the issue and expect to have an update soon with a plan for resolution. Thank you for your patience!
Badge Announcements
We love badges! And we know you love chasing them and earning them. But we also understand the sooner you can plan which check-in will be the one that gets you the badge, the more you can collect and share with your friends what’s special about the one you just earned and better track your journey in beer!
That’s why we’re committing to a standard timeline for all badge announcements going forward. You’ll get updates about badges in three key ways on Untappd:
- The Untappd Blog
- In-App News
- Weekly Check-in E-mail
For posts on our blog and in the in-app News section (on the Notifications tab), posts will go live no later than 2 days before a badge is set to be able to be unlocked. E-mails only go out once per week, so we may mention badges as early as one week ahead of schedule depending on the badge.
Feedback
