Words are fleeting, but emoji are forever is what our recent bug seemed to say when it prevented you from removing emoji from titles of lists. Our retort: Mistakes are inevitable, but improvement is a lifelong project. Please enjoy the tiny improvements in this update. Links to huddles within canvases were appearing as empty pills on the mobile app. We put our heads together to handle this huddle hurdle. Slack wasn't reliably appearing as an option within the Android share sheet. It's hard to share when the recipient isn't very... receptive. You should find Slack much more agreeable with this new build.

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.

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.

Don't mind us — just making a few small adjustments to keep the app in tip-top shape. More to come soon. Cheerio!

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.

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.

Huddle invitations weren't playing any sound, arriving instead as silent banners vying for your attention. We reckon that's marginally better than flag semaphore — but only just. If you felt adrift without our familiar ringtone, this fix is for you.

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.

When adding someone to a DM, the search function wasn't being very ... searchy. We sought, scoured, sifted, and scouted for the cause. The result? One fixed bug in this update. We accidentally turned out the lights on older versions of Android, forcing dark mode without sufficient contrast. We've always felt it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness, so this update brightens things up.

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.

Sharing your screen during a huddle would sometimes cause Slack to crash without warning. Sharing is caring, and so is fixing bugs. This update contains a double dose of care, from us to you.

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!

If you scheduled a message via the New Message flow, you may have noticed it didn't actually schedule or send; it just vanished into the ether. The technical term for this behavior is (checks notes) incredibly annoying. We're very sorry for the trouble, and have scheduled a fix for this update.

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.

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!

Did you know you can filter searches with modifiers like from: and with:? It's a great way to narrow results to messages from specific teammates. Better still, the autocomplete menu now works as expected, so finding the right colleagues is faster than ever.

Better still, the autocomplete menu now works as expected, so finding the right colleagues is faster than ever. Some users reported that push notifications weren't coming in after the app had been closed for a period of time. This update should improve notification handling, but please report any oddities to feedback@ slack.com.

Quick replies from notifications now include a Reply in thread option, ensuring your message always lands where you intend.

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.

Images uploaded to Slack were missing a menu option to View in browser. Should you browse this menu again, you'll now find this option in view.

When downloading a file to your phone, the file name was being pulled from the URL rather than its proper title. Furthermore, if that URL contained any non-English characters, those letters would be replaced with underscores, resulting in files with unhelpful names like ________.pdf. For those of you who enjoyed the game show element of having to guess the names of your files, we're sorry to report that this has been fixed. Forwarding messages to other channels and DMs wasn't providing the option to add your own accompanying blurb. Add context or don't — the choice is now yours.

If you were removed from a private channel where you had a message drafted, a "1" would remain stuck next to Drafts with no way to clear it. We'll hang on to that draft for you in case you re-join the channel, but we'll hide the notification in the meantime. Those using the VoiceOver feature were unable to select or play audio clips. All voices deserve to be heard in Slack — this update brings harmony to the app.

Everything is an itty-bitty bit better than it was before. Trust us.

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.

Nothing major to report this week. Nothing minor to report either, as it turns out. Work is still happening, mind you — it's just more the sort that happens behind the curtain in between scenes at a play. We're quietly setting the stage for what's to come.

We've tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

Tapping "View in Browser" on remote files added via API was appending a "/" at the end of the URL, effectively breaking the link. Let us never underestimate the power of one small character to topple even the most complex systems. Batch image uploads were broken in canvases, forcing you to upload one at a time. Sometimes it's rewarding to take the slower, more deliberate path toward accomplishing a goal — mindfully connecting with each individual element and savoring the satisfaction. Sometimes you just need to upload 20 photos at once. This was the latter.

What's black and white and (re)read all over? Your Slack messages — when conversations stayed unread on mobile even after you'd read them on desktop. This riddle of a bug is solved in our latest update.

We've tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

Have you met the revamped Slackbot? It's everywhere these days — even in places it shouldn't be. For example, if you set an emoji icon for emails being posted to Slack, that icon would instead show up as Slackbot. We love you, Slackbot, but stay in your lane. Microsoft Intune users were reporting problems logging in to non-enterprise workspaces. This update provides a tune-up that should have things properly harmonized once again. If two or more Bluetooth devices were paired to your phone, it wasn't possible to choose which one to use during a huddle. Instead, the audio preferences menu would simply display a single mystery Bluetooth option with no additional information. While the gamblers among us may have enjoyed the element of danger, the rest of us are glad it's been fixed. The option for workspace owners and admins to delete others' messages was intermittently disappearing from the long-press menu. We can accept some degree of uncertainty when it comes to predicting the weather, but not administrative privileges. Here's something we can say with confidence: this bug has been deleted.

We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

Sharing into Slack from third-party apps (such as the Android photo gallery) was sometimes failing with the message Can't share content to the current workspace. After extensive testing in our labs, we've concluded that sharing is caring — and so is this fix. Like a receipt for the wrong purchase, a media player notification was appearing in the drawer after tapping on an image in Slack. Weirder still, pressing play on the notification would begin playing audio or video from a separate file further back in the channel history. Talk about Stranger Things. Here's hoping we've seen the series finale of this bug.

One of our menus didn't get the memo when it came to turning notifications on or off for a particular thread. Specifically, when tapping into a thread and selecting additional options (...), "Turn off notifications" was always visible, even after notifications had been disabled. Going forward, all unsubscribe requests will be honored, and records shall be updated accordingly.

Like a boomerang, bad penny, or persistent telemarketer, DMs kept reappearing in the sidebar no matter how many times you tapped close conversation. No means no, closed means closed, and fixed (we hope) means fixed. Scrubbing through a video was scrubbing the progress bar clean off, making it impossible to go forward or back while the video was playing. Since we can't press rewind on this bug, allow us to fast-forward to a fix with this update. If you were logged out via your workspace's session duration settings, you may have gotten a Sorry, an error occurred message when attempting to log back in. While technically correct, that's not very helpful (the message or the being locked out). With this update, you may come and go as you please.

iPhone-specific emoji (such as Animoji or Memoji) were failing to send within Slack. Please accept our sincerest apoloji. Emoji were also occasionally not matching across desktop and mobile due to a localization issue. Our emoji interpreters have been working overtime to ensure this won't happen again. :ok_hand: :man-bowing:

The VoiceOver feature was glossing over certain details when announcing messages delivered via webhook. Going forward, its screen reading will be more thorough, helpful, and (dare we say it) accessible. Returning to the main channel view after replying to a thread sometimes left a large, empty rectangle where the keyboard used to be. To put it in radio-friendly terms: We had a blank space, baby, and it was swiftly resolved.

Highlighted text in dark mode didn't have a ton of contrast, making it hard to read the words you had selected. With this update, we've illuminated the problem. Dim mode is out; dark mode is back in. Occasionally, when opening an app within Slack, the app's main page would be completely blank. We determined that this behavior was erroneous, unhelpful, and just plain confusing. Apps will now appear less tongue-tied when you access their home pages within Slack.

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!

Emoji with names written in Korean characters were failing to render within the app. We apologize for not providing you with the full picture (or, indeed, any picture) when it came to these emoji.

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.

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.

Online indicators for guest accounts were in bad shape — that is, they weren't displaying their correct shapes (squares and triangles), defaulting instead to the familiar circle. We've quite literally squared the circle on this one, returning guest indicators to their proper geometric glory. The mobile emoji picker wasn't taking into account your most frequently-used emoji on desktop, so if your favorite handshake reaction wasn't making the handoff to mobile, that one was on us. We promise not to let that happen again. Shake on it? Different skin tones of the same emoji will once again be grouped together when reacting to a message. No matter our complexion, we're all one human family, even when represented as cartoon pictographs.

The filter option within the DMs tab was doing... nothing. It was ornamental, vestigial, and most definitely broken. We've filtered the offending code right out, and DMs are now A-OK. Did you know you can send emails to a Slack channel? Pretty neat, huh? Did you also know that forwarding that message to a different channel within Slack would change your avatar to that of a bot and/or app? Notably less neat, we contend. Slack: Now with fewer identity crises. Launching the app by tapping on a notification banner would sometimes cause channel headers and the "Back" button to be conspicuously absent. There are few things in life from which there is truly no return; go forth in Slack and know that you can always retrace your steps. When two users had the same display name, we weren't showing their full names alongside in autocomplete menus. This gave the act of tagging someone in a message the same thrilling anxiety as greeting a person whose name you're only 50% sure you remember. Enjoy this fix, brought to you by Slack [Full Name: Slack Technologies, LLC].

Color us surprised that custom theme colors for notifications were getting stuck, meaning if you switched to hot pink for Fuchsia Friday, you might have no choice but to continue into Magenta Monday. Bugs, like tricky stains, eventually all come out in the wash. Many thanks to our engineers for laundering this eye-catching error. Switching to a different workspace while on an active huddle meant you were unable to return to the workspace hosting the huddle. It was a very no ins-and-outs policy, like a concert that doesn't allow re-entry. The thing is, it wasn't a policy at all; it was just a bug. Come on back in — the show's about to start.

Shooting stars may be ephemeral, but starred conversations in Slack are forever — at least that was the buggy behavior folks experienced when they found they could not un-star channels and DMs on mobile. We thank our lucky stars (not to mention our mobile engineers) for this bug fix. The "[Name] is typing..." indicator was not appearing within threads. Please take this message as indication that the bug has been fixed.

If your workspace did not allow messages to be copied, we were also erroneously preventing you from viewing file attachments. Here's a message we're not just copying from previous bug fixes: We're sincerely sorry for the trouble.

We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

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!

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).

This will be our final release for 2025, which has us reflecting on all the ways we've grown this past year. Whether you favor radical reinvention or a slow and steady bloom, we hope these past 12 months have been nourishing and expansive. As The Beatles put it, There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. We're very glad you're here with us.

Don't mind us — just making a few small adjustments to keep the app in tip-top shape. More to come soon. Cheerio!

Apple VoiceOver was not able to select buttons anywhere in Slack outside of threads. Like your favorite cardigan, buttons and threads will, at times, be in need of repair. Here's a cozy thought: This bug has been all sewn up and tied off. We dropped the ball on dropdown arrows, which were hovering awkwardly in the center of the screen instead of sitting politely on the side. The next time you need to expand a menu, you'll find the tappable button right where you expect it to be. Dropdown menus were also not selecting the default value if you just pressed "Submit" without choosing anything. Perhaps it's a good reminder to always be intentional in our individual choices? Eh, probably just a bug. Our bad.

The /feedback command was broken, sending the bug report meant for Slack into whichever channel you happened to be viewing. It's now been fixed. /gif celebrate. We checked out some inconsistent behavior around checkboxes within the app. Having triple-checked the fix, we're now checking this bug off the list. Certain photo uploads were not allowing you to zoom in to the picture after it was sent. What is this, an app for ants? Feel free to take a closer look in order to make sure everything is really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

Form fields were not accepting numbers preceded by the # sign (#1, #2, etc.). If you recall a time when this was a number sign and not a hashtag, this one's for you. #fixed

Apps built in Slack which included a Number Input block would not, in fact, allow any numbers to be input. It was a real "you had one job" sort of situation for that particular element. The number of bugs in this feature has been updated from 1 to 0.

Bugs were squashed, performance was improved, work was done, and the result was good. Please enjoy Slack responsibly.
