Slack 24.04.30

version 24.04.30

Apr 18, 2024
Version 24.04.30
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Did you notice that custom status suggestions for your org were showing up on desktop but not mobile? Turns out things were just a little dis-org-anized on our end. Ha ha. Ha. No, but we’re sorry.
• Fixed: In some messages sent by apps that incorporated block quotes, the message text was not indented and overlapped with the left-hand border. Many thanks for your understanding as we work to get all our ducks (and words) in a row.

version 24.04.20

Apr 10, 2024
Version 24.04.20
What’s New
• Is it something in the air? A certain je ne sais quoi that’s hard to put a finger on? The world seems brighter, music sounds sweeter … what could it be? The Slack app has been updated, and we can neither confirm nor deny that we’re responsible for any lightness that descends upon you.

version 24.03.40

Mar 27, 2024
Version 24.03.40
What’s New
• We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is polished, well-oiled, and running as it should be. If you notice anything to the contrary, as always, let us know at feedback@slack.com!

version 24.03.30

Mar 20, 2024
Version 24.03.30
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: If your language was set to Chinese, Japanese or Korean, scheduled messages that included “@-channel” or “@-here” mentions saw them eventually rendered as “@...” While ellipses undoubtedly heighten the drama, they leave far too much to the imagination. With this bug fixed, you’ll now find proper mentions here, there and everywhere.

version 24.02.40

Feb 28, 2024
Version 24.02.40
What’s New
• We’ve sanded down some rough patches in the app so as to avoid any digital splinters. Did you know “digital splinters” were a thing? They are now, but they aren’t anything you’ll need to worry about.

version 24.02.30

Feb 21, 2024
Version 24.02.30
What’s New
• Welcome to your weekly catch-up with Slack. Today’s new feature: “Catch Up.” Triage unread messages in an instant by swiping to mark as read and sending quick replies inline. And for those moments when your thumb goes rogue, there’s even an Undo button. There’s no catch—try using Catch Up today!

version 24.02.20

Feb 14, 2024
Version 24.02.20
Bug Fixes
. In a move we’re calling “the worst kind of surprise party,” the app icon was failing to display a badge when you had unread messages until after you opened the app. Nothing like starting the day in a panic over messages you didn’t know you had. You should have seen the look on your face. No but really, we’re very sorry about that.

version 24.02.10

Feb 9, 2024
Version 24.02.10
Bug Fixes
. Let’s say you’re invited to a party that specifically states “No gifts,” but you show up with an immaculately wrapped empty box. That’s sort of what was happening when the app was allowing you to download blank email attachments even after file downloads had been disabled by admins. Let’s just tie a bow on this and say that no downloads of any sort will take place when that setting is in effect.

version 24.01.50

Jan 31, 2024
Version 24.01.50
Bug Fixes
. When canvas comments came up in search results, eagle-eyed folks noticed that a lock icon (like that of a private channel) appeared instead of the canvas icon. Is a canvas technically a private channel? Are hot dogs sandwiches? If you clean a vacuum, do you become the vacuum cleaner? While many mysteries remain, we unlocked the solution to this particular quandary.

version 24.01.40

Jan 24, 2024
Version 24.01.40
What’s New
. We tidied the shelves, cleaned the windows and ran a white-gloved finger over every flat surface. Just a little routine maintenance to ensure that everything is shipshape. Full steam ahead!

version 24.01.30

Jan 17, 2024
Version 24.01.30
What’s New
. Consider this the intermission between acts in a dazzling stage show-a minor release that allows us to tidy the aisles and refresh the patrons before the curtain rises once more. Put another way, this update has only very minor fixes and improvements, but we are setting the stage for what’s to come (lobby lights flashing off and on).

version 24.01.20

Jan 10, 2024
Version 24.01.20
Bug Fixes
. All bugs that were fixed in this release were too small for the eye to see or too fiddly for human words to describe. Nevertheless, work was done, things were tinkered with, and the app became a teensy bit better.

version 24.01.10

Jan 3, 2024
Version 24.01.10
What’s New
. New year, new app! This year’s resolution is to steadily improve Slack with each update (we promise not to abandon it some time in February). To that end, this version contains minor fixes and improvements to suit the calendar turning to 2024. Here’s to Slack, and all of us, getting a little better each day.

version 23.12.21

Dec 15, 2023
Version 23.12.21
Bug Fixes
. We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

version 23.12.20

Dec 12, 2023
Version 23.12.20
Bug Fixes
. Captain’s Log: Slackdate 23.12.20. Reports from engineering indicated that the workspace switcher was truncating URLs and removing all mentions of “Enterprise.” This is, of course, a violation of Slack’s Prime Directive (ensure information in app is accurate; also, don’t introduce bugs). We rerouted the tachyon particle emitter through the main deflector, and that seemed to do the trick. A round of tea (Earl Grey, hot) for everyone involved.

version 23.12.10

Dec 6, 2023
Version 23.12.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: We seem to have gotten our threads tangled on iPad, where threaded replies containing links were overlapping with other messages. A stitch in time saves nine, but an app update is, uh, pretty great.
. Fixed: On iPad, the Quick Switcher wasn’t jumping to the correct channel when selecting with “Enter” on the keyboard. Some found this behavior thrilling and laden with mystery; most found it confusing and annoying.

version 23.11.40

Nov 29, 2023
Version 23.11.40
Bug Fixes
. In a strange show of solidarity, the app was crashing when toggling the option to “Collapse All Images,” mistaking minimization with complete dissolution. Whether you prefer your images visible or hidden, the app will now remain reliably present.
. Similar to the “observer effect” in physics, interacting with files and images in the Activity view was causing them to change states, moving around within the UI. To the best of our abilities, we have observed that this update provides a fix for the issue.
. Huddles in private channels will no longer begin with your microphone unmuted. Just because it’s a curated space doesn’t mean your team needs to hear everything.

version 23.11.30

Nov 15, 2023
Version 23.11.30
What’s New
. You know what's worse than getting an error message? Not getting an error message. We've added some contextual alerts within the app to let you know if we’re noticing a connectivity problem. What may be lacking in connection, we hope to make up for with communication.

version 23.11.20

Nov 8, 2023
Version 23.11.20
What’s New
. Don’t mind us-just making a few small adjustments to keep the app in tip-top shape. More to come soon. Cheerio!

version 23.11.10

Nov 1, 2023
Version 23.11.10
What’s New
. Thanks for updating the app! This round's changes don't lend themselves to tidy summaries, but we're doing all that we can to make sure the app is running as smoothly as possible. Here's to incremental gains!

version 23.10.40

Oct 26, 2023
Version 23.10.40
Bug Fixes
. Like a runner steadily improving their split times, this update is the sort that's less showy but no less important. You'll find the app a little faster, a little leaner, a little closer to the goal.

version 23.10.30

Oct 18, 2023
Version 23.10.30
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: We resolved the issue where Slack Connect messages failed to identify that you were in conversation with people from another organization. Apologies for any awkward introductions.

version 23.10.20

Oct 11, 2023
Version 23.10.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: VoiceOver was not indicating when a channel section had unread messages, often leaving your unreads undiscovered. It turns out that “the thrill of the hunt” is not something that pairs well with project deadlines. We’re sorry for making you work to find your work.

version 23.10.10

Oct 4, 2023
Version 23.10.10
What’s New
. Don't mind us-just removing some cobwebs. Minor bugs and digital detritus, begone!

version 23.09.40

Sep 27, 2023
Version 23.09.40
What’s New
. Minor tinkerings and tune-ups across the app. We appreciate your staying up to date! Let us know if you run into any problems by dropping us a line at feedback@slack.com.

version 23.09.20

Sep 13, 2023
Version 23.09.20
What’s New
. Hard work is happening this week, but nothing we can easily describe. It’s like a duck swimming on a river. Under the water, the duck is paddling furiously, but on top all that can be seen is the gentle gliding of a bird on water. This week, Slack is the duck.

version 23.09.10

Sep 6, 2023
Version 23.09.10
What’s New
. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Checked in the app store, there's a fresh update just for me. We could wax rhapsodic about some of the new features we have in store, but at the moment we're just setting the stage. Carry on, carry on-we'll have more for you in the future.

version 23.08.50

Aug 30, 2023
Version 23.08.50
What’s New
. This week we give you minor improvements too small to mention, but did you know that you can read through our past release notes anytime you’d like? Discover a feature! See how far we’ve come! Have yourself a sensible chuckle! They’re all available over at https://slack.com/release-notes/ios.

version 23.08.40

Aug 23, 2023
Version 23.08.40
Bug Fixes
. SSO making you want to send out an SOS? Our QR code login flow was looping back on itself when SSO was in place, leaving some feeling like castaways. You can put away your message in a bottle-QR codes are no longer an island.

version 23.08.30

Aug 16, 2023
Version 23.08.30
Bug Fixes
. We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

version 23.08.20

Aug 9, 2023
Version 23.08.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When waiting in a queue, it’s generally considered polite to order oneself single-file. Less polite was the app failing all uploads when more than one file was queued to be sent. Single file, indeed. Expediency is also polite, so feel free to queue your uploads once more.

version 23.08.10

Aug 2, 2023
Version 23.08.10
What’s New
. Fixed: Not a lot to share this week, but rest safe in the knowledge that we’re at work behind the scenes making sure everything is in tip-top shape. If you notice anything that shouldn’t be (or things that aren’t that ought to), drop us a line at feedback@slack.com!

version 23.07.30

Jul 19, 2023
Version 23.07.30
What’s New
. Curious to peek into a channel without marking it read? Just long-press on the conversation name in your channel list to pop out a preview! It’s like your own personal spyglass on the high seas of Slack.

version 23.07.20

Jul 12, 2023
Version 23.07.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Upon signing into a workspace on Enterprise Grid, some people found that the app was rather prone to crashing immediately after wishing them a warm and friendly welcome. Talk about a bad first impression! We’d love to welcome you back-please stay for as long as you’d like.

version 23.07.10

Jul 5, 2023
Version 23.07.10
What’s New
This is just to say
We have updated
the app
that is in
the App Store
and which
you are hopefully
using
for work
Forgive us
no big changes
carry on
and stay cool

version 23.06.40

Jun 28, 2023
Version 23.06.40
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Like a magic show without the fun, the menu for sending channel invites via email was “magically” disappearing before you even had time to see what it said. Now you see it, now you don’t, now you can’t add people to your channels. Now it’s fixed.

version 23.06.30

Jun 21, 2023
Version 23.06.30
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When viewing a channel’s Info screen, the Topic field always appeared to be empty, even when a topic had previously been set. An occasional off-topic conversation is par for the course with robust discussion. However, it’s our intention to at least give you the option of being on topic.
. Fixed: In perhaps our most ironic bug this year, the text scaling for the blue unread message indicator was broken, meaning you might have had a hard time reading just how many unread messages you had. All it took was a new set of specs to bring a solution into focus.
. Fixed: Sharing a URL into a direct message through the iOS share extension wasn’t working. As anyone with children will tell you, sharing is often easier in theory than in practice. We’re trying, though. Baby steps.

version 23.06.20

Jun 14, 2023
Version 23.06.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Since our Posts feature was merged into the new canvas experience, accessing old Posts on iOS left something to be desired. Put more plainly, you couldn’t open them at all. Post-fix, you should find Posts much more useful (and, in fact, usable).

version 23.06.10

Jun 7, 2023
Version 23.06.10
What’s New
. iPad users with a Magic Keyboard (or any mouse, be it magic or Muggle) can now use the secondary click to open the context menu for messages and attachments. Magic words like “Abracaslackra” are not required, but encouraged.

version 23.05.30

May 17, 2023
Version 23.05.30
What’s New
. Ever have those weeks when it feels like nothing’s happening, but then you look back later and realize a lot of things actually were happening? This is one of those weeks for the app.

version 23.05.21

May 15, 2023
Version 23.05.21
Bug Fixes
. We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

version 23.05.20

May 10, 2023
Version 23.05.20
What’s New
. Bugs were squashed, performance was improved, work was done, and the result was good. Please enjoy Slack responsibly.

version 23.04.30

Apr 19, 2023
Version 23.04.30
Bug Fixes
. Imagine being invited to one amazing party. And another. And then another. And then when you decide to leave the first party to visit your friends at the other two, a bouncer has decided to pull your name from every guest list after leaving the first party. Our latest bug? It was kind of like that bouncer-signing some users out of every workspace when they only wanted to sign out of one. But we fixed it, which means you can now go to any party... err, workspace... you want.

version 23.04.10

Apr 5, 2023
Version 23.04.10
What’s New
. No big fixes to call out this week, but rest assured, there will be more in the future. Not that introducing bugs is our aim, of course. But missteps, adjustments, errors and corrections-these are the rhythms of life and the price of growth. We hope you're enjoying the ride, no matter where you happen to find yourself at present.

version 23.03.50

Mar 29, 2023
Version 23.03.50
What’s New
. No news is good news! Well, some news can also be good news, or no news could perhaps lead to uncertainty and speculation on par with bad news, but in this case our absence of news is a good thing. Or at least not a bad thing. No news is just fine. Never mind.

version 22.08.40

Aug 22, 2022 Version 22.08.40
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When composing a message in Korean, the first few characters were not rendering properly. Now anything lost in translation will be restricted to the vagaries of human communication rather than the whims of technology.

version 22.07.30

Jul 26, 2022 Version 22.07.30
What’s New
. Fixed: There’s no such thing as being too “matchy-matchy” when it comes to syncing app preferences. That is to say, using “Sync with iOS” under Preferences > Accessibility will now work as intended, making what you see in Slack agree with your system-level settings.

version 22.05.10

May 9, 2022 Version 22.05.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: In orgs where a mandatory mobile browser is required, the app was still defaulting to Slack’s in-app browser during sign-in. This would lead to situations where the browser would attempt to auth, be denied, then give up and sulk without providing any alternative. The appropriate browser will now be used, so if you’re locked out it’s your fault now. Probably.

version 22.04.20

Apr 26, 2022 Version 22.04.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When viewing a file on iPad, the menu bar was not appearing, meaning you could not share the file, comment on it, save it for later, or any number of other actions. You could only stare at it, as if in an art gallery. We’re certain that every file you upload is an aesthetic marvel, but we also want to give you tools to work with it.
. Fixed: Tapping on a notification while viewing a long thread would sometimes overload the app, leading to an unscheduled power nap. Scales have been rebalanced, energy flow rerouted, and crashes politely declined.

version 22.04.10

Apr 11, 2022 Version 22.04.10
What’s New
. iPad users, rejoice-a major update this way comes. A new layout more closely resembles the desktop experience, the sidebar has been upgraded for improved organization and navigation, and we’ve added greater support for iOS accessibility options. Get the full rundown here: https://slack.com/blog/news/ipad-app-new-look-improved-functionality

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Did you know you can use keyboard shortcuts with the iPad app? Well, now they work as intended! Use CMD + [ and CMD + ] to navigate back and forth through your recently-viewed conversations.

version 22.03.20

Mar 28, 2022 Version 22.03.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Changing a channel's description in the channel details screen would actually update the channel's topic, while changing the topic would update the description. We have ascertained that it is not, in fact, “Opposite Day,” which would be the only plausible explanation for such a thing. Additionally, Opposite Day is not a real thing. Or is it, and this denial is actually a confirmation? It is (it is not), so we did not fix this bug (we fixed it).

version 22.03.10

Mar 14, 2022 Version 22.03.10
What’s New
. When previewing a channel prior to joining, you’ll now see the channel description displayed with the channel name to provide a bit more context. For when you’re unsure whether #the-owls is a channel for ornithologists, insomniacs or fans of the show Twin Peaks.
. If you’re someone whose workday doesn’t start at 9 am (or if you find Slackbot alerts first thing in the morning to be less of a pick-me-up and more of a put-me-down), you can now choose when your “Tomorrow” or “Next Week” reminders will appear. Head over to Preferences > Notifications to set the default that works best for you.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Tapping on a message link from an app would always take you to the parent message, as opposed to a specific threaded reply. That was about as helpful as asking for directions to the Liberty Bell and being told it’s somewhere in Philadelphia. We took another crack at the design and recast it into something more appealing.

version 22.02.20

Mar 1, 2022 Version 22.02.20
What’s New
. A friendly heads-up: In order to keep up with the growing capabilities of newer operating systems, this is going to be the last version of Slack that supports iOS 13. You’ll still be able to use Slack, but to receive new updates you'll first need to upgrade to iOS 14.
. We fixed a host of small bugs around creating messages and lists with Korean characters. What is the proper name for a group of bugs? A bundle? A bandolier? We fixed a benediction of bugs.
. Ever reply to a thread only to realize you should have sent that reply back into the main channel? Us too. That’s why you can now retroactively share your threaded messages with the rest of the channel. Just press and hold on the message in question, then select “Send Reply to This Channel” to give it the attention it deserves.
. Menus, begone! Now you can turn that text into a hyperlink by simply highlighting and pasting your URL right on top of it. Same old words with a brand new tappable destination.
. The first time you send someone a direct message, you’ll now see their pronouns displayed at the beginning of the conversation. We hope it’s a small step that will help foster respect among colleagues.

version 22.02.10

Feb 15, 2022 Version 22.02.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When sharing a file to Slack from another app, Group DMs were missing names altogether, showing only blank spaces and commas. As exciting as it was to treat file sharing like the throwing of a bouquet at a wedding, sending messages at work requires a great deal more precision.
. Fixed: If you were viewing someone’s profile in the mobile app, we were sometimes displaying long and ungainly URLs instead of clean, tappable links. These did not spark joy, so we have tidied up with a spirit of gratitude.

version 22.01.30

Jan 31, 2022 Version 22.01.30
What’s New
. You can now sort your conversations by Recent Activity! Tap the button in the top-right corner of your Home tab to see the tidy new timeline.

Bug Fixes
. Expanding the message composition view to full screen was not actually changing the size of the text box. It was an illusion, like those tricky pictures of vases and faces, or the idea of “just one more episode.” Enjoy composing on a larger canvas once more.
. Some folks were reporting being stuck in an SSO loop, repeatedly being asked for authentication like the worst kind of merry-go-round. A dismal-go-round. You can now get into the app and off the ride.
. The “Call” option was missing when viewing a teammate’s profile. Contrary to popular belief, this was not due to an “always text before calling” design philosophy, but was simply a mismatch of code.

version 22.01.20

Jan 18, 2022 Version 22.01.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you were viewing details about an app in your workspace and then tried switching to the Messages tab, the app would load for an uncomfortably long time. It was like a lengthy silence in the middle of a story, where you’re not sure if the speaker is pausing for effect, has lost their train of thought, or has become entranced by a squirrel passing by the window.

version 22.01.10

Jan 3, 2022 Version 22.01.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When the app was in dark mode, hyperlinks were displaying in a low contrast color that was hard to read. Dark mode was designed to make things easy on the eyes, not to simulate reading by candlelight, so we bumped the brightness up a few notches.

version 21.12.10

Dec 6, 2021 Version 21.12.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Feel like life (specifically in GIF and emoji form) has been passing by too quickly? That was actually a bug affecting Slack on the iPhone 13 Pro. Moving images will once again animate at the proper speed.
. Fixed: When delivering notifications for channels in which there were only 2 members, our system was being a touch informal and dropping the conversation name altogether. Titles have been reinstated so you’ll know whether that message is coming from #you-and-i or #just-the-two-of-us.
. Fixed: If you start a Zoom meeting by typing /zoom, you will find that the “Join” button now works as intended, meaning you can no longer blame this bug for being late to your call. We’re sorry / you’re welcome.
. Fixed: The official Apple symbol (option + shift + K on a Mac keyboard) was not displaying correctly in all areas of the iOS app. Worry not, these were simply a few bad apples, fallen too far from the tree.
. Fixed: Bulleted lists with punctuation were sometimes being sent with unexpected line breaks, making each statement feel isolated and a teeny bit passive-aggressive. That’s not what we were going for, and we’re sorry for any lists that seemed extra confrontational on our account.

version 21.11.20

Nov 15, 2021 Version 21.11.20
What’s New
. The channel list just got easier to command! Tap and hold on any channel or DM in the Home tab to mark a conversation as read, mute notifications, copy the channel name or leave it entirely. All this with the press of a finger.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Custom status information was not reliably showing up in all corners of the app, meaning you might have been halfway through writing a message before noticing the person you were DMing was on a plane. Or walking their dog. Or they had the :coffee-parrot: emoji as a status and you know that when Brian is :coffee-parrot: it’s not the best time to ask about meditation apps. Well, now that status will be visible no matter where (or how caffeinated) you are. How’s that for peace of mind?

version 21.11.10

Nov 2, 2021 Version 21.11.10
Bug Fixes
. Archived channels, while showing up in the “Jump to...” menu, were sitting preserved and inaccessible in a hermetically sealed corner of the app, as if holding a grudge for having been archived. They’ve since made nice, and you can once again access those channels for the historical data contained therein.

version 21.10.20

Oct 18, 2021 Version 21.10.20
What’s New
. If you’re using Slack Connect to share a private channel with another organization, we’ll make sure it stays private on the receiving end. That is, there is no option when accepting a private shared channel to make it public. More peace of mind for you, more security for all.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Notification sounds were always delivered with the “Device Default” sound, no matter what you had selected. It was like if a restaurant handed you a menu and then served you meatloaf regardless of your order. No offense to meatloaf.
. Fixed: Some images with unique sizing (panorama photos, cropped screenshots) were not displaying properly after being uploaded. The app is now more welcoming and inclusive of pictures of all shapes and sizes.
. Fixed: It was discovered that certain messages containing non-English characters and emoji would sometimes end up truncated when sent. A mystery, to be sure, but no less irritating at the end of the day. Going forward, your full and complete messages will be delivered, however they are composed.
. Fixed: We regret to inform you that copying a list of bullet points from Slack and pasting it elsewhere will no longer result in the bullets turning into castle emoji.

version 21.10.10

Oct 4, 2021 Version 21.10.10
What’s New
. You can now record video and audio clips right within Slack. Add some face time to your team updates, talk through feedback, or just say hello. Want to sing your portion of the stand-up? Best check with your manager on that one.
. Channel sections can now be collapsed or expanded with a tap of your finger, making for a tidier, more focused experience.

version 21.09.21

Sep 27, 2021 Version 21.09.21
Bug Fixes
. We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

version 21.09.20

Sep 20, 2021 Version 21.09.20
What’s New
. If you’re running the new iOS 15, you’ll now see avatars for message senders on your push notifications. Because we all could use more friendly faces these days.
. Slack now integrates with iOS 15's Focus Mode, so that when you need a moment of calm and re-centering we will not knock-brush you right out of it.

version 21.09.11

Sep 9, 2021 Version 21.09.11
Bug Fixes
. We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

version 21.08.20

Aug 23, 2021 Version 21.08.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: A gnarly little bug caused a crash for some people trying to mention others in a message. We carefully captured the bug in a metaphorical paper cup and released it out the metaphorical front door, at which point our metaphorical neighbor walked by and offered us a real slice of blueberry pie, which was incredible.
. Fixed: If you poked around in the settings of a Slack app, you may have seen emoji displayed as text like :this: instead of looking like the intended emoji. This has been fixed, and emoji should appear correctly. :thumbs-up: all around.

version 21.08.10

Aug 9, 2021 Version 21.08.10
What’s New
. This will be the last version of Slack that supports iOS 12, which means this is the last version that supports devices such as iPhone 5s and 6, iPad Mini 2 and 3, iPad Air (1st generation), and iPod Touch (6th generation). In addition, starting on September 1st, you’ll need to be running iOS 13.3 or later in order to connect to Slack. We know this is potentially frustrating news, but these minimum requirements are necessary in order to ensure Slack remains as secure and seamless as we built it to be. Thank you for your understanding.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When using markup, adding a closing backtick after a period would not end the code section. You may now punctuate to your hearts’ content, safe in the knowledge that code blocks will not continue ad infinitum.
. Fixed: Those of you using VoiceOver may have noticed that a recent update made it much more difficult to swipe between messages. The reasons why are about as exciting as trying to navigate through the bug itself, so suffice it to say that things should just be better now.
. Fixed: A memory issue was causing the app to crash more often, primarily on older devices. There’s no way around it - crashes are frustrating. We’re doing our best to minimize their frequency, and we appreciate your patience.

version 21.07.20

Jul 26, 2021 Version 21.07.20
What’s New
. How’s everybody doing out there? Are you getting enough sleep? Drinking enough water? Eating some vegetables here and there? We don’t have any big updates this time around, so we wanted to use this space to remind you to be kind to yourself and those around you. That’s all. Love ya.

version 21.07.10

Jul 12, 2021 Version 21.07.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Copying text from a Slack message and then pasting back into Slack sometimes resulted in a crash and/or a rift in the known universe. We’ve patched this bug (as well as any outstanding wormholes), and our scientists assure us the app is once again safe to use in this timeline.
. Fixed: For users of the Japanese Kana Flick keyboard, the “Smart Full width spaces” setting should now work as expected, as well as inserting new text into the middle of a message. You might say we flicked both of those bugs off the table.

version 21.06.32

Jul 1, 2021 Version 21.06.32
Bug Fixes
. We tweaked some things too small to notice or too difficult to explain. We’ll return you to your regular, more interesting types of release next time (we hope).

version 21.06.30

Jun 28, 2021 Version 21.06.30
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Those who had VoiceOver enabled were not able to access URLs within messages. It’s pretty frustrating when an Accessibility option makes an app less accessible, so we’ve made sure this works now.

version 21.06.20

Jun 14, 2021 Version 21.06.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Tapping on an empty input field used to show the options for “cut” and “copy,” but there was nothing to select. What do you copy when there is no text? If you copy text that isn't there, does it even exist?
. Fixed: When editing a channel’s topic, changes were being saved even if you tapped “cancel,” essentially telling the app, “Yes, absolutely do that right now” instead of “Undo.” This bug has now been undone.
. Fixed: Beginning a message with a “slash” would cause the shortcuts menu to open, which then had to be dismissed before you could return to composing your message. Shortcuts are for saving time, not adding to it, so our inadvertent “longcut” has been whittled down.
. Fixed: Sometimes your workspace would indicate “-1” new users had joined, which was pretty spooky. While our terms of service do not have a specific clause against nonexistent individuals using Slack, we have made the executive decision to limit all workspace members to those denoted by positive integers.

version 21.06.11

Jun 7, 2021 Version 21.06.11
Bug Fixes
. We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

version 21.06.10

Jun 1, 2021 Version 21.06.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Attempting to send a message via Quick Reply (replying to the notification) would sometimes not send a message at all. This was frustrating for the sender, embarrassing for us, and not befitting at all of the moniker “quick.” Replies of all velocities shall now be supported.
. Fixed: Previously, attempting to start a new thread would simply kick you back to the main channel view without so much as an apology or explanation. This has been rectified so that no matter where you go, there you can thread.

version 21.05.20

May 17, 2021 Version 21.05.20
What’s New
. We’ve spruced up the channel list for your enjoyment. You’ll now see profile photos alongside direct messages and all the names associated with a group DM. We’ve also improved accessibility, adding support for larger text sizes, more accommodating tap targets for your fingers, and additional actions when using the VoiceOver rotor.
. Small thumb update (er, the update is small, but it applies to any size of thumb or appendage) - if you follow a link from one channel to another, swiping to the right will now take you back to the previous channel instead of the channel list.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: For some people, channels remained bold and unread-looking despite being very read. This was rather unpleasant and is now fixed.

version 21.05.11

May 6, 2021 Version 21.05.11
Bug Fixes
. We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

version 21.04.20

Apr 19, 2021 Version 21.04.20
What’s New
. If you’re well versed in Simplified or Traditional Chinese - or aspire to be one day - you can now use Slack in those languages. Set your language preferences in You > Preferences > Language.
. A bit daft, but drafts are now available everywhere you use Slack. Start a message on your computer and finish it on your phone. Snap a photo of a whiteboard sketch, attach it on your phone and finish the message on your computer.
. We’ve made it easier to express emotions or, to put it more accurately, send an emoji in Slack. The message input is now accompanied by an emoji button for you to find and select an emoji that best fits the situation.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: An unfortunate bug caused the /invite slash command to crash the iPad app. You can now quickly invite people without ending the party.
. Fixed: The /giphy slash command stopped working in threads. This may have left your train of thought in tatters as you were unable to weave the right GIF into the conversation at the right time. The bug has been mended and you can “/giphy thimble” in threads to your heart’s content.

version 21.04.10

Apr 5, 2021 Version 21.04.10
What’s New
. Put the people you work with at the top of your list. Now, when you tap the “share” icon in any iOS app, your Slack DMs and MPDMs will appear right up top.

version 21.03.10

Mar 8, 2021 Version 21.03.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: You can once again reorder the workspace switcher with a tap, hold and drag. Everything is in its right place, including your workspaces.

version 21.02.20

Feb 22, 2021 Version 21.02.20
What’s New
. Fans of the workspace switcher, take note: First of all, we are flattered you consider yourself a fan of the workspace switcher. Chuffed, even. Second, we’re giving it a refresh, so you can better distinguish your workspaces and switch between them more easily.
. For some, search is the heart of Slack. Now, it’s also the feet, because search is moving to its own tab at the bottom of the app.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If a message from an app had a button, and that button had an emoji in it, the emoji would appear like :this: instead of showing the emoji itself. This bug was very :woman-gesturing-no:, and is now fixed.

version 21.02.10

Feb 8, 2021 Version 21.02.10
Bug Fixes
. If you were to select “People” in the workspace menu, pick someone, click “Message,” and then try to send the message, well, this used to be too much for Slack. Not anymore. Send away!

version 21.01.20

Jan 26, 2021 Version 21.01.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Custom emoji appear in the picker, right where they should - as opposed to not appearing at all.
. Fixed: When using one of your team’s homemade workflows, entering Japanese or Korean characters no longer adds bonus, unintended Japanese or Korean characters.
. Fixed: App messages were missing the colorful line that appears alongside their buttons and forms. No longer! Color has been returned to all the places it should be.
. Fixed: When you’re reacting to a message, Slack puts your most-used emoji up front - because that’s a helpful thing to do. Recently, and in very specific circumstances, Slack has been showing blank spaces instead of emoji. This is much less helpful. And now it’s fixed.

version -

version 21.01.10

Jan 11, 2021 Version 21.01.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Previously, tapping on a link from an app in Slack might have taken you to an unsettling place: nowhere. We fixed that, so now you’ll land in the right place at the right time.

version 20.12.10

Dec 16, 2020 Version 20.12.10
What’s New
. Sharing files into Slack from outside Slack - say, from your photos app - is now much nicer than before. You’ll see your teammates’ pictures, and their full names, so it’s easy to make sure you’re sending the right file to the right person. Should things have always been this way? Yes! And so they are.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: The “Add a File” button will now work as you might have expected it to, adding files aplenty to your channels and DMs.
. Fixed: Folks who choose to auto-collapse images in Slack were occasionally seeing black squares in the place of delightful GIFs. No more! Now your GIFs will surprise, delight, and inspire, at least as much as any one GIF can.
. Fixed: Tapping and holding on emoji reactions now shows you the list of people who reacted. This is an improvement on its previous behavior, which was to crash the Slack app entirely.

version 20.11.21

Dec 7, 2020 Version 20.11.21
Bug Fixes
. We tweaked some things too small to notice or too difficult to explain. We’ll return you to your regular, more interesting types of release next time (we hope).

version 20.11.20

Nov 30, 2020 Version 20.11.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: For the briefest of moments after opening Slack, DMs would sometimes appear unread even if there wasn’t a new message. It was so quick, you might not have noticed, but we fixed it anyway.
. Fixed: Sometimes, if you opened the description of an app in Slack, you might encounter some ~strangely~ *formatted* _text_. These app descriptions now appear beautifully formatted, as the developers intended.
. Fixed: When you step away from your computer to enjoy a sandwich, drink some water, or just stare into the middle distance for a while, you can now tell Slack how long to wait before sending your notifications to your mobile device. Take your time.

version 20.11.10

Nov 9, 2020 Version 20.11.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you were invited to an audio chat and accepted the invite on desktop, sometimes the mobile app continued to ring. It’s not your alarm, that was us. We’re very sorry for the extra ringing in your ears, and now things are back to normal.
. Fixed: Your app may have crashed while you were in the middle of formatting a message that had hyphens and spaces. We fixed this, so you can practice proper punctuation without pesky interruptions.

version 20.10.10

Oct 19, 2020 Version 20.10.10
What’s New
. Slack is now available in Korean, which means you can finally DM your favorite BTS member! That was a joke, please do not do that.

Bug Fixes
. We came up with custom emoji so you could express yourself in Slack. What we did not mean to do was cut off the end of a message from a bot if it contained a custom emoji. We’ve fixed that-so express away!

version 20.09.20

Oct 5, 2020 Version 20.09.20
What’s New
. Maybe you’ve heard of Slack Connect, which reduces countless back-and-forth emails by letting you add partners, clients or vendors to a channel. Now, if your organization allows it, you can add another company to a new channel straightaway in the mobile app.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: A picture is worth a thousand words. None of those words should be “This content can’t be displayed,” which was the case for some linked images in Slack. Images should now appear as intended, their word count fully intact.
. Fixed: Sometimes Slackbot or an app will send a message that is for your eyes only. A secret missive from the cybersphere. For some users, they were unable to copy the text of that message. This is now fixed, and you’re all free to copy the ephemera as you see fit.
. Fixed: Before, when you set a channel’s topic, we notified everyone with a message that ended with an extra period. We shouldn’t change punctuation rules just for kicks, and will no longer pepper these messages with prolific periods.

version 20.09.10

Sep 14, 2020 Version 20.09.10
What’s New
. Bugs were squished, performance was improved, work was done, and the result was good. Please enjoy Slack responsibly.

version 20.08.30

Sep 2, 2020 Version 20.08.30
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you’ve been using an external keyboard with your iPad, you might have tried to accept an auto-correct suggestion and found that Slack sent your message-in-progress instead. Hitting enter at times like these will now accept the suggestion without sending your message early, as you’d want it to.
. Fixed: When an image was viewed full-screen, swiping did not dismiss it properly. You may now swipe and dismiss images with confidence.

version 20.08.20

Aug 17, 2020 Version 20.08.20
What’s New
. We can’t think of any references, cultural or otherwise, that involve swiping left or swiping right. But now, if a message has more than one image, you can tap one of them and swipe left or right to browse between images.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Ever tapped a search result or a saved message and ended up in the right channel, but not at the right message? No? That’s good to hear. But if you have, we’ve fixed it. No more surprise endings - now you’ll always end up exactly where you planned.

version 20.08.10

Aug 3, 2020 Version 20.08.10
What’s New
. New: For something you’ve read but need to come back to later, you can now mark a thread as unread! Hurrah! Long-press on the message you’d like to start from, and then select the option to mark unread from the menu. Yes, you’ve been able to do it with channel messages for a long time, but now, you can do it in threads too. Useful!

version 20.07.20

Jul 21, 2020 Version 20.07.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: A few of our sidebar themes were taking dark mode a bit too seriously and obscuring the status bar. You’ll no longer have to choose between the comfort of your retinas and being able to check the time.
. Fixed: iPad users noticed that long-pressing on a pinned or starred item in the Channel Details section caused the app to take an unforeseen nap. It’s better-rested now, so hopefully that won’t be happening again.

version 20.07.10

Jul 6, 2020 Version 20.07.10
What’s New
. You can now customize your notification preferences on a per-day basis, which is a fancy way of saying that you can now pause interruptions with Do Not Disturb down to the day. (Looking for a feature to pause interruptions from pets, kids, or package deliveries? We feel you.)

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: On mobile, some messages from apps would display with missing text. It certainly was not our intention to pull a vanishing act, so we’ve fixed that.

version 20.06.20

Jun 22, 2020 Version 20.06.20
What’s New
. This is the last version of Slack that will work on iOS 11. To get updates in the future, you’ll need to update your device to iOS 12.2 (or newer).

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: December 31, 1969 was a fine day (we’re pretty sure). It was not, however, a day in which you received any direct messages, regardless of what our app previously claimed.
. Fixed: Some files could not be deleted, and not for lack of trying - the option to delete those files was missing from the menu. This has been fixed and all files can be deleted as desired.

version 20.06.10

Jun 10, 2020 Version 20.06.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: The /remove command is now working properly, so those with permission can once again remove people from channels if they need to.
. Fixed: A pesky bug tried to cut your messages short. We’ve restored the limit to the intended 12,000 characters per message. Write on!

version 20.05.20

May 26, 2020 Version 20.05.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you were in a workspace that required secondary authentication, then previews of notifications from that workspace were always hidden (even if you wanted to be able to see them). Now, the previews will show up like normal - as long as you’re currently authenticated. (You can also, as always, choose not to show previews of the messages).

version 20.05.10

May 11, 2020 Version 20.05.10
TL;DR: We’ve redesigned the layout of the app. Read more about the improvements on our blog at SlackHQ.com or in our help center. Here though, we’ll stick to what’s new, and what has been fixed.

What’s New
. What’s new? Most things. We changed almost all of the things. So many things! Much change.

Bug Fixes
. Previously, it was complicated to get to the four main things people do on mobile. We’ve fixed this with a new nifty navigation bar at the bottom of the app containing: a Home view for your sidebar, DMs, (still listed most recent first), Mentions (for quickly catching up), and You (because you’re great) (and also because setting your status/preferences on mobile needed to be easier).
. The quickswitcher on the desktop app is wonderful, but we discovered an issue where people weren’t using it as much on mobile. So we made the Jump To box more prominent (and smarter) to fix this. Fingers crossed!
. It seemed bizarrely hard to create a new message in a channel or DM without finding that precise location first. With an application of logic, software engineering, and a new “Compose” button in the bottom right corner, this has been rectified.
. Our apologies to people who have been wanting to easily set reminders, start workflows or access favourite apps in channels and conversations - it was hard to work out how to do that on the move. A new lightning bolt under the message box now gives quick access to shortcuts, and thereby solves this age-old problem.
. And finally, it came to pass, as time went by, that in the old version of the app, there was a lot of swiping back and forth to get places. We’ve simplified that: Now,swiping right will reveal your workspace and preferences, and swiping left will get you back to the last conversation you were in. With this change in behavior, we hope to give you the powers of both omniscience and time travel. nbd.
. And yes. We know. Change is hard! All our fingers have all built up muscle memory, but after continually adding features and functionality over the years, we needed to step back and make sure things made sense. You can find more about these improvements in our blog post, and as always, we welcome your feedback. Thank you for reading all the way to the bottom. We appreciate it, and you.

version 20.04.20

Apr 27, 2020 Version 20.04.20
What’s New
. All bugs that were fixed in this release were too small for the eye to see or too fiddly for human words to describe. Nevertheless, work was done, things tinkered with and the app became subtly better.

version 20.04.10

Apr 13, 2020 Version 20.04.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When a message held more than 5 images, a button telling you how many more images were included but hidden (+3, for example) was... not making them any less hidden. Basically it wasn’t working. It now works.
. Fixed: When sharing a file you will now only be able to share with users or channels that are active in the selected workspace (and not deactivated users, which could occasionally be selected before)
. Fixed: On an iPad, tapping “Archive Channel” will now archive the channel. Instead of crashing the app. Right impulse, overenthusiastic execution.

version 20.03.30

Mar 30, 2020 Version 20.03.30
What’s New
. Minor improvements have been made, and bug fixes taken place, but they’re the kind that are out of sight, behind closed doors, and quietly just doing their job, deep in the inner workings of the app, making things just a little bit better.

version 20.03.20

Mar 16, 2020 Version 20.03.20
Bug Fixes
. Tapping the “Tap to expand image” button was sometimes not, wait for it... expanding the image. It will now do the thing it promises. No more, no less.
. Using two-factor authentication, which is a brilliant idea in general for all things, was occasionally not working if multiple types of authentication had been enabled (app, sms, etc). Let nothing dissuade the security-minded: it now works seamlessly once more.

version 20.03.10

Mar 2, 2020 Version 20.03.10
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Sometimes, when sharing a file to Slack, some usernames appeared, very unhelpfully, as blanks in the list of Direct Messages, identifying your colleagues as “@ “, instead of say, “@jane”. This is now fixed.
. Fixed: Sometimes an app or bot would send a long message containing beautiful formatting and links. And sometimes, the formatting didn’t render correctly, or the links were untappable and that, we feared, risked angering the bots, as well as not being very helpful for the user. Now, the formatting is honored, tapping the links works perfectly, and the bots are, for now, placated.

version 20.02.20

Feb 18, 2020 Version 20.02.20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Sending a “/me” command that contains an emoji resulted in a crash. /me had no idea this was a thing, but is glad that it’s fixed :relieved:

version 20.12.10

16. Dez. 2020 Version 20.12.10
What’s New
. Sharing files into Slack from outside Slack - say, from your photos app - is now much nicer than before. You’ll see your teammates’ pictures, and their full names, so it’s easy to make sure you’re sending the right file to the right person. Should things have always been this way? Yes! And so they are.

Bug Fixes
. Fixed: The “Add a File” button will now work as you might have expected it to, adding files aplenty to your channels and DMs.
. Fixed: Folks who choose to auto-collapse images in Slack were occasionally seeing black squares in the place of delightful GIFs. No more! Now your GIFs will surprise, delight, and inspire, at least as much as any one GIF can.
. Fixed: Tapping and holding on emoji reactions now shows you the list of people who reacted. This is an improvement on its previous behavior, which was to crash the Slack app entirely.
