# What's new

**Bottom line:** This page lists changes to Mytherapist.ng that have shipped and that users, therapists or organisations can see, newest first. App dates are the day the version went live on the App Store; Android builds of the user app ship alongside. Work that is built but not yet released is not listed here.

Products named below: the **user app** (iPhone and Android), the **web app** at app.mytherapist.ng, the **Caregiver App** for therapists, the therapist **web dashboard** at partners.mytherapist.ng, and the **website** at mytherapist.ng.

## October 2026

- **14 October 2026, user app:** Group therapy. Users can join a circle of up to twelve people led by a licensed Mytherapist.ng therapist, meeting on video every week or every two weeks, from the **Therapy** tab. Members pay for a block of sessions at a time, and Prime members pay 20% less. See [Group therapy: how circles work](https://mytherapist.ng/product/group-therapy.md).
- **9 October 2026, website:** The help centre at [mytherapist.ng/support](https://mytherapist.ng/support) was rebuilt, with separate guides for users and for therapists, grouped by topic and searchable. Each guide asks "Was this guide helpful?".
- **6 October 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.7):** Booking requests now have a deadline. A therapist has 2 hours to respond to a request made between 08:00 and 17:00 Lagos time; a request made overnight gets until 10:00 the next morning. If the therapist does not respond in time, the booking is cancelled and refunded in full to the user's wallet.
- **6 October 2026, Caregiver App (iPhone 1.0.7):** Each booking request shows the time to respond before. Therapists can also set the time zone their working hours are in.
- **3 October 2026, website:** New in-depth condition guides for anxiety, depression, stress and ADHD. Each one carries a note saying it is awaiting clinical review.
- **2 October 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.4) and web app:** Users can fill in questionnaires their therapist sends them, such as the GAD-7 and DASS-21. The app asks for consent first, saves answers as you go, and only the therapist sees the answers. Skipping a questionnaire changes nothing about your care.
- **2 October 2026, Caregiver App (iPhone 1.0.5):** Therapists can send a client a questionnaire from the assessment library and read the scored result in the app.

## September 2026

- **30 September 2026, web dashboard:** An assessment library. Therapists can send a client a standard questionnaire, such as the GAD-7, DASS-21 or K10, from the client's record. The client consents and answers, the answers are scored, and the result appears in the therapist's pre-session brief. Only the therapist and the client see it.
- **28 September 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.2):** More bookable times. When a therapist works more than one block of hours in a day, such as a morning and an evening, every block can be booked.
- **28 September 2026, Caregiver App (iPhone 1.0.4) and web dashboard:** Therapists can set more than one block of working hours in a day.
- **24 September 2026, web dashboard:** When a client enters the session room, the dashboard tells the therapist "Your client is calling" so they can join.
- **23 September 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.1):** When your therapist opens the session room, the app rings full screen so you can join straight away.
- **23 September 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.1):** Your therapist can suggest a few times for your next session. They appear on your Home screen, and one tap takes you to booking. Nothing is booked until you choose.
- **23 September 2026, user app (iPhone 1.9.1):** If your employer or organisation covers your sessions, the app shows how many covered sessions you have left, and you can claim a benefit with the code or link your organisation sends.
- **16 September 2026, web dashboard:** Reference letters. Therapists who meet the requirements can request a reference letter from Settings. The letter can be verified, and the page shows what is left to qualify.

- **6 August 2026, web dashboard:** An Account Standing page shows therapists any complaints recorded against them and lets them appeal.
- **6 August 2026, web dashboard:** Time off can be set as a date range, and the dashboard warns about sessions that clash with it.

- **4 August 2026, user app (iPhone 1.8.3):** A new onboarding flow for new users, and a dedicated "My HMO" payment option. Members of a supported HMO enter their enrollee ID at checkout and pay nothing in the app; Mytherapist.ng confirms cover with the HMO before the session.
