Beta testing
The Yandex Maps team is constantly working to improve the app. We really value our users who try out new features as soon as they are released and then share their impressions with us. Any users can participate in beta testing.
What is beta testing?
Generally, beta versions contain all the features that the public version of the app does, along with several new features.
All functions are checked before the app is sent for testing. Nevertheless, it's possible that some bugs or areas for improvement might be discovered. The Yandex Maps team is grateful when users report these issues.
You can exit the beta testing version of the app at any time and go back to using the current version of the app.
