Every time you edit or remix an app, Whip saves a new version. Versions show up as cards on your chat timeline, each with its own icon, title, and description, so you can trace exactly how your app grew — and open any earlier one to see how it looked and worked.

​
How versions work

As you build and refine, your chat becomes a timeline. Each completed version drops in as its own card, from version 1 to wherever you’ve taken it.

Each version is a snapshot

A version captures your whole app at that moment. Editing never overwrites an older version — it adds a new one alongside it.

Its own icon, title, and info

Whip refreshes the icon, title, and description for every version, so each card reflects what your app actually was at that point.

Browse and open any of them

Tap a version card on the timeline to open that version and see exactly how it looked and worked.

Failures don't break history

If a build fails, it won’t damage the versions that came before it. Your working history stays intact.

​
Undo a change you don’t like

Whip doesn’t have a one-tap “restore this version” button — the way you go back is the same way you got here: by chatting. Because nothing is ever overwritten, your earlier versions are always there on the timeline to look at while you decide what to ask for.

Find the version you preferred

Scroll your chat timeline to the version card you liked, and open it to confirm it’s the one.

Ask Whip to bring it back

Tell the AI in chat — “go back to the previous design”, “undo that last change”, or describe the older version you want. Whip builds a fresh version that returns to it.

Keep going from there

Carry on editing — every change lands as a new version, so you can always course-correct again.
Nothing is ever lost. Even after you move on, every earlier version stays on your timeline — so a change you regret is only a message away from being reversed.

​
Two different kinds of “update”

These two are often confused, so here’s the difference in plain terms:
  • A new version of your app is what you create every time you edit or remix. These are the version cards in your chat.
  • A new version of the Whip app itself is an update to the Whip app on your phone. When one is available, Whip shows an “Update available” prompt asking you to reload or update from the store. This has nothing to do with your app’s versions — it only keeps the Whip app itself current.
So if you see an update prompt, that’s about Whip, not about your creation.

​
Common questions

Open the earlier version you preferred to remind yourself what it was, then ask the AI in chat to go back to it. Whip creates a new version that restores that design — and your other versions stay on the timeline.
No. Editing only ever adds new versions; it never overwrites or deletes the ones before it. Your full history stays on the chat timeline.
Yes. A remix starts its own version history, separate from the original app it came from.
That’s a new version of the Whip app itself, not your creation. Reload or update from your app store to keep Whip current.

Edit your app

Keep chatting to shape your app — each change is a new version.
