TripIt Upgrades to iOS 10SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TripIt® from Concur®, the world's highest-rated travel-organizing app, today announced substantial updates for iOS 10. These updates include the launch of TripIt for iMessage and enhancements to TripIt Pro's flight alerts that leverage the rich notification features Apple made available in its latest release. "The beauty of iOS 10 is that it opened up Apple's platform allowing us to extend the benefits of TripIt beyond the app," said Jen Moyse, director of product for TripIt from Concur. "With this update, we created a seamless experience between TripIt and some of the core features that Apple fans already enjoy." TripIt Makes Sharing Travel Plans as Easy as Sending a Text "The next time someone messages you asking where you're staying, you'll be able to respond with your hotel information—without having to open another app. That's a big deal when you're busy and all you have time to do is shoot off a quick text," continued Moyse. In addition, TripIt also recently expanded how travelers can share plans from the TripIt app. Using the technology built into a user's iPhone, TripIt allows users to send their plans through other apps they like to use. Travelers simply take a screenshot of their trip, or hand select the specific plans they'd like to share right from their trip itinerary, and the option to send those plans through compatible third-party apps will instantly pop up. "We communicate in a variety of different ways. We text our friends and family, stay connected to former colleagues on one app and collaborate with coworkers on another. Traveling is one of those unique experience where you need to share information with many different people, and having to switch back and forth between apps to stay in touch is just a hassle," continued Moyse. Real-Time Flight Alerts Get an Upgrade with iOS 10 "Now you can react instantly to a change in your flight. As soon as you see your flight has been delayed, you can pull up the airport lounges near you, or even check to see if you can jump on a new flight. Often a quick reaction can be the difference between a small hiccup in your plans and a complete disruption," continued Moyse. Flight check-in, cancellation and delay alerts have been enhanced with this latest update to the TripIt app. TripIt users with an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch will be able to use TripIt for iMessage. A subscription to TripIt Pro ($49/year) is required to receive real-time flight alerts. About TripIt About Concur Contact:
