Slack is following the redesign of its desktop app with a similar review for the mobile crowd. The company is rolling out updates for Android and iOS that remove some of the clutter and make it easy to access the features you’re most likely to use when you’re away from your computer. Instead of scrolling through the side menus, there’s a tabbed home screen for quick access to your DMs, mentions, and personal features like your status and notification settings. It should be much easier to respond to a request after business hours or to postpone alerts entirely when you are determined to improve the balance between your work and personal life.
You’ll also find enhancements for more specific tasks. The compose button has reached the mobile to quickly start a message (even for an existing chat), and the Call button is easily available in DM for those times when the text simply doesn’t work. Swipe gestures make it easy to navigate between screens with one hand, and the lightning bolt icon near the input bar lets you perform actions on other services without leaving Slack.
