"In the aftermath of the pandemic, the platform has seen something of resurgence. As of late 2025, Gen Z and young Millennials make up 40 percent of Meetup's active user base and represent its most engaged group of users. This year, the app has also seen a 20 percent year-over-year increase in new registrations. Going into 2026, Bending Spoons is hoping to build on that momentum with a redesign of Meetup's mobile app."
"The new interface, which starts rolling out today, brings the Android and iOS app inline with Meetup's recently redesigned website. Across the application, users can expect updated fonts, new more colorful icons and better spacing. The goal of the redesign is to make the app "vibrant, fun and more modern than before," says Chiara Vivaldi, Meetup's product lead. She adds the redesigned app retains all the key features found in the previous version, while making those easier to find."
Meetup experienced multiple ownership changes and has been operated by Bending Spoons since 2024 following earlier sales to WeWork and others. The platform saw a post-pandemic resurgence, with Gen Z and young Millennials comprising 40 percent of active users by late 2025 and a 20 percent year-over-year increase in new registrations. Bending Spoons is rolling out a mobile redesign that aligns Android and iOS with the redesigned website, updating fonts, icons, spacing, and navigation. The redesign preserves existing features while making them easier to find and establishes groundwork for community and safety improvements in 2026, with an emphasis on boosting attendee confidence, particularly for women.
