Platform Update (2026-02-23): What Changed Since February 16

2026-02-23

Between February 16, 2026 and February 23, 2026, we focused on making our most active apps more useful and more reliable for everyday users.

What’s New

Help

Help made strong progress this week.

• Safer payment handling during task completion
• Better trust and safety signals
• Improved offer ranking so better matches appear earlier
• Clearer admin controls to keep operations stable

What this means: a safer, smoother experience for both people requesting help and people offering help.

Housing

Housing got practical upgrades for people tracking homes and market activity.

• Better saved-search and alert experience
• More control over alert timing and noise
• Improved listing workflows from insights to action
• Stronger reliability in core data paths

What this means: less manual checking, clearer signals, and a smoother research flow.

Services

Services focused on experience consistency and cleaner user flow.

• Cleaner shared layout across key pages
• Clearer sign-in and auth path
• Simpler route behavior as the app evolves

What this means: easier navigation and less confusion as the service grows.

Also Improved

• Hawkers and Bad Drivers: stability and release hardening work
• Household: maintenance updates in this period

Bottom Line

The biggest user-facing improvements this cycle were in:

• Help (safety, matching, and payment flow)
• Housing (alerts, tracking, and reliability)

Services also moved forward with a cleaner user experience foundation.
