VRCPhone 2.0 is here! It comes with bug fixes, refined animations, new wallpapers, an optimized new mesh, and a brand new function FindMyFriends!

(The animations on the email are a bit broken, so if you wanna check it action, check the main page!)

With the new FindMyFriends map function, you can see where you are in the world! You can zoom in, out, and see where you are with the dynamic location dot.*

If you or your friends have the new VRCTag, or another VRCPhone/Vira device, you can see where eachother are in the world! And with privacy options to only allow friends to see you, or disable your icon all together!

The new VRCTag allows you to place beacons in the world for friends to see, or have it on you to show your location!

And its all fully customizable! You can change the look of the icon and the tag in a simple file, to whatever you want! Included within the tag are more than 20 icons for you to choose from!

Go ahead and get it for yourself!

For the techies:

Soon to come: Open source maps system, and new Works With YUCP integration!

In VRCPhone 2.0, we've integrated an open-source maps system that brings a whole new level of functionality and customization to the platform. This system is not only powerful but also flexible, allowing you to modify and extend the map features to suit your needs.

Additionally, we’ve introduced a new Works With VIRA integration. This ensures that VRCPhone 2.0 is fully compatible with the VIRA ecosystem, making it easier than ever to develop cross-compatible assets and features.

These enhancements make VRCPhone 2.0 not just a more user-friendly device, but also a more developer-friendly platform. Dive into the code, explore the new possibilities, and make VRCPhone truly your own!

*Only the advanced version has the map, but all devices have the FindMyFriends icon functionality.
