Version history
What’s new
Every BiteWorthy drop, newest first. Versions are dates — year.month.day, with a final number when more than one drop lands in a day.
v2026.10.1.1
October 1, 2026
- Phone photos upload again: big photos are shrunk on your phone before sending, instead of failing with "Request failed (413)". Works in chat, menu scans, and review photos.
- Chat always shows what the assistant did (tool steps); the Tools toggle is gone.
v2026.10.1
October 1, 2026
- Menu photos: on your phone you can now pick a photo you already took, not just open the camera — on the scan page and in chat.
v2026.9.30.2
September 30, 2026
- Use my location: tap the pin next to the chat box and "near me" searches list restaurants nearest first, with how far each one is. Your location is sent only while the pin is on and is not saved.
v2026.9.30.1
September 30, 2026
- Restaurant pages now say where they are: /restaurants/usa/colorado/durango/<restaurant>. Old links and share links still work and redirect to the new address.
- Home city: set it in profile settings, and asking the chat what's nearby searches that city by default.
v2026.9.30
September 30, 2026
- Chat results pane: a pane beside the transcript shows the menu or scan the assistant is acting on, drawn from the site's own pages, and follows every tool call.
v2026.9.29
September 29, 2026
- Chat: switching or deleting chats mid-reply no longer loses your place, your queued messages, or the chat you opened
v2026.9.28.1
September 28, 2026
- Chat: tool search no longer kills turns; tool steps say what they did; deleting a chat (and an account) works and asks first
v2026.9.28
September 28, 2026
- Missing a restaurant? Signed in, you can now add one from the web — look for Add a restaurant on the Browse page: pick the city, name the place, and go straight to scanning its menu. If it looks like a place we already have, we show the likely matches first so you can pick one instead of adding it twice.
v2026.9.26
September 26, 2026
- Add a menu from a photo or a link: open any restaurant, tap Scan this menu, and review the dishes before they go live — anything we can't vouch for is set aside instead of published.
- Top Picks now work without the taste quiz — dishes you save or rate highly shape them — and the menu leads with your best bets.
- Try a filtered menu before signing up: pick a diet on the homepage. If you're signed in, a diet link or a friend's share link now adds to your own allergies instead of replacing them.
- Analytics no longer record what you click or type, never record your session, and respect Do-Not-Track and the opt-out right away.
v2026.8.17.1
August 17, 2026
- You can now change your username — in Account settings on web and in the new Settings → Account screen on mobile. Usernames are case-insensitive: pick Alice and alice is yours too.
v2026.8.17
August 17, 2026
- Dish pages now show every detected ingredient with its confidence and source — allergens highlighted, AI-inferred calls marked. Menus read cleaner: dish names link to details, and photo placeholders are gone. The menu scan is one tap from the homepage, and gluten checks got sharper at our live restaurants.
v2026.8.16
August 16, 2026
- Version history begins: BiteWorthy now carries a date-based version (year.month.day), shown in the site footer and in the app, with this page listing what changed in each drop.
v2026.8.15
August 15, 2026
- Share links now label themselves honestly — a menu filtered by a friend's shared profile says "Shared filter" instead of "No filter".
- Expired or invalid share links show the menu with an explanation instead of a "page not found" error.
- Clicking a restaurant from a diet guide (like "Celiac restaurants in Durango") now keeps that diet applied on the menu — and it stays applied while you browse dishes.
- Password reset works end to end: a "Forgot your password?" link on sign-in, reset emails that land on a working page, and old sessions signed out after a reset.
- The restaurants page gained a search box, and restaurant pages now show phone numbers and website links.
- New dietary guides index at /durango, so every diet page is one tap from browse.
