Search, filters and the map
How to search the way you talk, narrow things down with the chips, and browse on the map.
Search
- Tap the magnifying glass at the top right of Home.
-
Describe what you want, the way you'd text a friend: "live music somewhere chill tonight" or "something for my toddler Saturday morning".
-
Tap Search.
Exact matches come first. Close-but-not-exact ones follow under Related. If your search mentions a time or who you're going with ("movie tonight with my wife"), Fig sets the matching chips for you, so you can see and change them.
Search shows what you asked for, even things you gave a 👎. Only your chips and your Never show me settings narrow it, and Fig tells you when they do ("3 hidden by your settings · Show").
Looking for a person or business? Switch from Happenings to People under the search box, then start typing a name or @username.
At the bottom of the results you can Save as feed to keep the search, or Scout this to make it a Fig Scout.
The chips
The chips under the top of the feed narrow what you see. Tap one to change it:
- When: Live (Now), Tomorrow, This weekend, This month, or pick your own dates.
- Start time: only things starting after a time you choose.
- Where: the place to look from and how far, up to 100 miles.
- With: Anyone, Solo, Date, Friends or Kids.
- Type: kinds of happenings, like Music or Outdoors.
- Price: Any price, Free, Under $20, $20–50 or $50+.
A chip that's narrowing your feed is filled in. Tap ↺ at the start of the row to put every chip back.
Looking somewhere else
Use the Where chip to pick a neighborhood, city or ZIP code instead of your location. If Fig doesn't have happenings there yet, the feed says so. If Fig doesn't know where you are, it asks "Where are you?" first.
The map
Open the Map tab to see the same happenings as pins.
- Pins close together merge into a bubble with a number. Tap it to zoom in.
- The cards along the bottom show what's on screen, soonest first.
- Move the map and tap Show happenings here to look in a new spot. Tap Back to near me to return.
- Friends who share where they are with you show up as their photo. See Sharing your location.
