How to join or leave the Street Tag beta (iPhone & Android)

You can join or leave the Street Tag beta at any time, on iPhone, iPad or Android. The beta is an early version of the redesigned app, so it may have bugs.
Your Street Tag account, points and team stay the same whichever version you use. Please don’t rely on the beta during a school or community event. If you’re under 18, ask a parent, carer or teacher to join with you.
You need: the device you play on, a working internet connection, and your Apple ID (iPhone/iPad) or Google account (Android).

Join the beta on iPhone or iPad

The iPhone and iPad beta runs through TestFlight, Apple’s free app for testing new versions.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, install TestFlight from the App Store.
2. On the same device, open streettag.co.uk/beta and tap Join on TestFlight.
3. TestFlight opens. Tap Accept, then Install.
4. The beta replaces the Street Tag app already on your device. Open it and sign in as usual.
   If TestFlight says the beta is full or not accepting testers, all places are taken for now. Keep using the current app and check back later.
   Join the beta on Android

The Android beta runs through Google Play’s testing programme.

1. Open streettag.co.uk/beta and tap Join on Google Play. Sign in with the Google account you use on your phone.
2. Tap Become a tester.
3. Open the Play Store, search for Street Tag, and tap Update (or Install if you don’t have it yet).
4. Open Street Tag and sign in as usual.
   It can take a few minutes for the beta to appear in the Play Store after you join. If you only see the normal version, wait a little and check again.

Leave the beta on iPhone or iPad

1. Open TestFlight.
2. Tap Street Tag.
3. Scroll down and tap Stop Testing, then confirm.
4. Delete the Street Tag beta from your home screen if it’s still there.
5. Open the App Store and install Street Tag again.
6. Sign in as usual. Your account and progress are still there.
   If you skip steps 4 and 5, the beta stays on your device but stops getting updates, and it will eventually stop working.

Leave the beta on Android

You can leave in the Play Store app or in a web browser.

In the Play Store app

1. Open the Play Store and go to the Street Tag page.
2. Scroll down to You’re a beta tester and tap Leave, then Leave again.

In a web browser

1. Open the Street Tag testing page and sign in with the same Google account.
2. Under Leave the testing program, tap Leave the program.

Then go back to the public version

1. Uninstall Street Tag from your phone.
2. Install it again from Google Play.
3. Sign in as usual. Your account and progress are still there.

If you don’t reinstall, you keep the beta until the next public update replaces it.

Common questions
Will I lose my points or team? No. Your progress is saved to your Street Tag account, not your phone. Sign in after switching versions and it’s all there.

Can I have the beta and the normal app at the same time? No. Only one version of Street Tag can be on a device.

Can I rejoin later? Yes, using the same links, as long as places are still available. Leaving frees your place for someone else.

I left the beta but still see the beta version. Uninstall Street Tag and install it again from the App Store or Google Play.
