A Smarter, Simpler Nearby Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nearby Instant App<\/a> has been refreshed with a redesigned experience that makes it easier for users to find what matters, especially on mobile. This update focuses on a cleaner interface, improved mobile usability, and new configuration options that give you more control over how your app behaves and how users get started.<\/p>\n

A Cleaner, More Intuitive Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n

The updated Nearby UI simplifies the experience and helps users stay focused on their task. A refined layout improves visual hierarchy, reduces clutter, and makes tools and results easier to access.<\/p>\n

Expanded theming now extends beyond the core app to include the results panel and map tools, creating a more cohesive and polished look across the entire experience.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2973594,"id":2973594,"title":"Theme","filename":"Theme.png","filesize":349098,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/instant-apps\/announcements\/nearby-instant-app-gets-a-refresh-improved-ui-mobile-experience-and-new-options\/theme-8","alt":"Updated look of the Nearby app","author":"6941","description":"","caption":"","name":"theme-8","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2973579,"date":"2026-06-26 16:26:18","modified":"2026-06-26 16:26:32","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":624,"height":427,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","medium-width":381,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","medium_large-width":624,"medium_large-height":427,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","large-width":624,"large-height":427,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","1536x1536-width":624,"1536x1536-height":427,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","2048x2048-width":624,"2048x2048-height":427,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","card_image-width":624,"card_image-height":427,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Theme.png","wide_image-width":624,"wide_image-height":427}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

When choosing to open a tool at startup, now select whether you\u2019d like it to open on mobile as well.

More ways to guide users from the start<\/strong>
\nProvide a clearer introduction to your app with flexible onboarding options. In addition to the Information panel, you can now enable an introduction window, giving you multiple ways to present key information, instructions, or context.<\/p>\n

Use a panel for persistent guidance, or a focused window to capture attention upfront and help users get started quickly. Find these options in the About section.<\/p>\n
