Slack26.10.20

Companies in every industry around the world grow their business in Slack because it gets busywork off their plates and wasteful meetings off their calendars.

Slack brings everyone from coworkers, customers, and contractors into one secure place, so you don’t have to chase approvals or wait around on emails. Slack even has AI that can search to find the information you need instantly and summarize conversations to catch you up with a click.

Better yet, Slack makes it easy for anyone on your team to automate the small stuff, giving everyone more time to focus on the big picture. AKA, growing your business.

• Hard work is happening this week, but nothing we can easily describe. It’s like a duck swimming on a pond. 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. 26.09.30 Sep 16 Bug Fixes
• Everything is an itty-bitty bit better than it was before. Trust us. 26.09.20 Sep 9 Bug Fixes
• Forwarded emails were crashing the party in disguise, showing up in channels wearing the icon and name of totally unrelated apps. Turns out that's not appropriate business attire. The masquerade is over, and these emails will now be clearly labeled as themselves. 26.09.10 Sep 2 Bug Fixes
• 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. 26.08.40 Aug 26 Bug Fixes
• Dismissing the keyboard with a quick downward swipe sometimes resulted in the message input field getting stuck in the center of the screen. The keyboard and input will once again stick together like the best friends they are, moving in and out of view in tandem. 26.08.30 Aug 19 Bug Fixes
• HDR videos weren't playing back correctly on iOS. A world this vivid deserves an app that can keep up, and now ours does. 26.08.20 Aug 12 Bug Fixes
• Photoshop files pulled a disappearing act when shared in the same message as an image, leaving the image preview as the only visible element. This is now fixed, allowing PSD and PNG files to once again coexist peacefully. 26.08.10 Aug 5 Bug Fixes
• A little reminder as you go about your day: The world is a more unique place simply because you’re a part of it, and you’ve affected others in ways you can’t imagine. Oh, and no big changes to the app this time. Happy messaging! 26.07.50 Jul 29 Bug Fixes
• 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. 26.07.40 Jul 22 Bug Fixes
• Button, button, who's got the button? Workflows with Salesforce links certainly did not — those buttons couldn't be tapped on iOS. This update should button things up nicely. 26.07.30 Jul 15 Bug Fixes
• Regrettably, some emoji were not rendering in canvases when viewed on the mobile app. If each of those little pictograms is indeed worth a thousand words, then we owe you a whole lot of characters under the current exchange rate. Might we submit that an app update is actually worth a thousand emoji? No? Fair enough. 26.07.20 Jul 8 Bug Fixes
• 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 we’re responsible for any lightness that descends upon you. 26.07.10 Jul 1 Bug Fixes
• 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. 26.06.40 Jun 24 Bug Fixes
• If you created a custom filter in the Activity view to show only @mentions of your name, we were also displaying messages mentioning your keywords and user groups. Looks like there were some holes in that filter of ours. It's fixed now — don't mention it. 26.06.30 Jun 17 Bug Fixes
• In some cases, the Home view was loading in ever-so-slightly scrolled down from where it should have been. All the elements were still in view, but it just wasn't quite right. When you care about your guests, you want everything to be just so — and we do care about you — so please enjoy this very tiny fix. 26.06.20 Jun 10 Bug Fixes
• A little reminder as you go about your day: The world is a more unique place simply because you’re a part of it, and you’ve affected others in ways you can’t imagine. Oh, and no big changes to the app this time. Happy messaging! 26.06.10 Jun 3 Bug Fixes
• Is there something strange in your neighborhood? iPad users were spooked to notice a ghostly white image in place of their newly-uploaded profile pictures. We knew who to call; this bug is now busted. 26.05.40 May 27 Bug Fixes
• If mandatory two-factor authentication was enabled for a workspace, but an owner or admin had not yet set up their 2FA, the login screen would disappear when attempting to sign in using a magic link. This type of vanishing act isn't the sort people pay to see. Behold, the prestige: Magic link login screens have reappeared in their rightful place. 26.05.30 May 20 Bug Fixes
• Callout sections in canvases can now be edited on mobile. The ink never dries on a Slack canvas — revise to your heart's delight, no matter the device in hand. 26.05.20 May 13 Bug Fixes
