New look for seat diagrams / selection in app….

You can see for yourself if you “Change seats” on any reservation. Not big change, but change….

Not seeing any differences with the seat map.

I did notice lately the aircraft image is larger on the app Flight Status page though.

Agree that looks different, though it's not what I'm seeing.

Is this in the booking engine or after you've booked when you choose a seat?

Seat selection after flight booked/ticketed. No change in pre-ticketed seat selection maps. Not sure why UA decided to have separate looks.

And no, the new look doesn't include more seats...

It's not in iOS for me either and I have the latest version of the app. Just went through my reservations and I only see the old seat maps. And, yes, I verified there's no new update for the app either.

As I checked in this AM the boarding pass is noticeably different. It’s much cleaner with status, pre check confirmation all much more visible.

didn’t notice an app update but some things are definitely tweaked and so far it looks great.

So the seat maps are now vertical vs horizontal scrolling? Still seeing horizontal scrolling in v4.1.95 here.
