Overview
Early Access lets you try new features before we roll them out to all members. Your feedback helps us improve them.
You'll be invited to test Early Access features as they become available. If you don't have an invite yet, you'll need to wait until we open up testing further.
Once invited, you can opt in to testing by going to Profile → Early access hub in the app.
You can opt out of testing at any time and rejoin later if you choose.

Early Access features may include bugs or other issues, and your feedback helps us improve them before launching to more members.
How do I start using early access features?
Early Access features may already be turned on for you in the app. If so, you can start using them right away.
If you have been invited to try a new Early Access feature, or you want to start testing a feature again after opting out:
Go to Profile → Early access hub in the app
Tap Find out more on the feature (for example, Sleep tracking)
Tap I understand, start testing to opt-in
How do I know if I’m testing an early access feature?
Go to Profile → Early access hub in the app, then open the feature page. If you are testing the feature, you will see the label “Enrolled” at the top of the page.
How do I stop testing an early access feature?
You can stop testing at any time in the app:
Go to Profile → Early access hub
Tap Find out more on the feature
Select Stop testing at the bottom of the page
Confirm you want to stop
Any data collected while you were testing is saved to your account and will be available to view if you opt back in.
If a feature feels too inconsistent, or if you're spending too much energy helping us test, you can opt out at any time and rejoin later if you choose. We’ll share updates in the Member Digest and on our blog as improvements are made.
How can I share feedback on early access features?
Every Early Access feature includes a way to give feedback. This is so you can report issues or share your thoughts with us at any time. Depending on the feature, you might see the following feedback options on the feature page:
A thumbs-up/thumbs-down rating
A Give us feedback button
Early Access features are still being built, so some things may not work as expected. This is normal. All feedback shared goes directly to the team building the feature, giving us the chance to improve it.
We value your feedback. It helps us understand what’s working and what needs improving before full release.
