We knew Foursquare was planning on

spinning off its check-in feature to Swarm, a companion application to the location discovery app. That change is officially happening tomorrow, along with some other new changes and features to Foursquare, one of which is a brand new logo.

 

Aside from the flatter, cleaner logo, Foursquare is completely dropping off its ability to check-in to locations without Swarm. Fortunately, Swarm integrates nicely into Foursquare’s new user interface, which is seeing some pretty great improvements. It’s also getting a more personalized touch by allowing you to follow certain users and adding in your own tastes in stores, locations, and restaurants, which will cater specific results just to you. Even if you don’t put in much personal information, Foursquare will start curating suggestions just based on the places you visit and check-in at. Pretty handy new features.

 

Keep an eye out for the update to go live, and be sure to download Swarm if you haven’t already.
