Deployment Date: October 30, 2026


ENHANCEMENTS

iPhone Duo and iPad Support

  • Better support for larger Apple screens: ParkWhiz now makes better use of the full display on iPhone Duo and supports landscape mode on iPad. The app no longer appears in a narrow portrait window with black bars on the sides. Standard iPhones remain portrait-only.
  • More reliable credit card scanning: On iPhone Duo, the credit card scanner guide now stays within the camera view, making it easier to scan cards successfully. QR and ticket scanner guides also adjust automatically to stay visible when the screen size changes or rotates.
  • Improved map experience: Map controls are now easier to access on iPhone Duo. The map uses the standard iOS Back button, and Filters, Recenter, and the location card are positioned along the bottom of the screen so system controls no longer get in the way.


Valet Tipping

  • Easy valet tipping at checkout: Drivers can now add a tip for their valet attendant directly in the app with just one tap. Depending on the location, tip buttons may show simple dollar amounts (for example, $1 / $2 / $3) or percentages of the parking fee (for example, 10% / 15% / 20%). Drivers can also choose “Custom” to enter their own tip amount up to $99.99. Tip amounts display in US or Canadian dollars based on the location.
  • Clearer tip totals before you pay: When drivers add a tip, it now appears as its own line in the Payment Summary and the total updates right away. Drivers can still tap “Remove” to take the tip off before selecting Pay & Request Vehicle.
  • Clearer receipts, confirmations, and booking records: Tips now appear as their own line on your in-app receipt, booking confirmation, and the driver’s emailed receipt, above any discounts. Tip details also appear under “Purchase Info” on the booking details page in ParkWhiz Admin, giving drivers clearer records for expense reports and making it easier for support and finance teams to confirm tip amounts when customers have questions. Bookings without a tip simply won’t show a tip line.


Updated Active Session Card Experience

Drivers with an active parking session will now see a refreshed session card that matches the iOS app experience. From the card, they can quickly view their pass, extend their session, or get directions without navigating away.


UI / Copy Updates

Clearer payment button labels for guest checkout and branded payment providers

Drivers will now see clearer, more natural call-to-action button labels on the payment selection landing page, making it easier to choose guest checkout or a branded payment provider with confidence.


Search Improvements

  • Improved ParkWhiz iOS search start screen: Drivers will now see an improved search landing screen in the ParkWhiz iOS app. This update keeps the experience familiar while making the screen more accessible and easier to maintain, supporting a smoother experience for future search improvements.
  • Easier arrival and departure time selection: Drivers can now choose arrival and departure times using updated date and time pickers in the parking search flow. If there is an issue with the selected time, the message now appears directly on the screen instead of in a pop-up alert, making it easier to understand and fix before continuing.


Authentication

  • Secure SSO sign-in for attendants: Attendants can now use Cognito-backed single sign-on (SSO) to access the app with their company credentials. The login screen now shows a Sign in with SSO button instead of email and password fields, opening a secure company sign-in page for a simpler, more consistent login experience.
  • Android sign-in with email verification: The Android app now uses email verification as the only sign-in method, making the sign-in experience consistent with iOS and web. The Sign in with password instead option and Password pages in Account settings have been removed. Existing password users can continue signing in with email verification, and users who are already signed in will stay signed in after updating.
