The days of checking in on Foursquare are coming to an end.
Beginning Thursday, Foursquare will get rid of all check-ins from its main app and move them over to Swarm, several months after it announced plans to split its service in two.
The main Foursquare app will now be all about discovering places to go while Swarm is for checking in and keeping up with friends. All your past Foursquare check-ins, friends, and photos will automatically transition over to Swarm.
A brand-new, more personalized Foursquare app is also on the way. "In a couple weeks, we're rolling out a brand new version of Foursquare that's all about you," the company wrote in a blog post. "Tell us what you like, and we'll be on the lookout for great places that match your tastes, wherever you are."
To go along with this new focus, Foursquare unveiled a new logo, which looks like a cross between a map pin and a superhero emblem, and replaces the old check-in checkmark.
The new Foursquare app will offer personalized recommendations, tailored to your tastes. "No two people view the world exactly the same, so no two people will have the same experience with the app," Foursquare said. "Once you teach Foursquare a couple things about you – add tastes, follow experts, or even just walk around for a few days – the app will be 100 percent yours."
If you use Foursquare and Swarm, the apps will work together. You'll still be able to check in from the main Foursquare app, but only if you also have Swarm installed on your device. Foursquare said that more than three-quarters of its users have already downloaded Swarm, which launched in May for iOS and Android.
"If you've been waiting for real local search, not just the yellow pages on your phone, stay tuned," the company wrote. "The all new Foursquare will be here really soon."
Another firm that got a new logo recently was Airbnb, though some thought it too closely resembled female anatomy. For more, check out Yahoo and 10 Other Controversial Logo Changes.
