Smart Link Detection

Now when a MangoApps feed URL is shared in an email and clicked on, it will launch the MangoApps iOS client and the user will be taken to the feed details screen in it. Similarly, links shared on a coworker’s profile page, project, group, or department page, will launch the iOS client and the appropriate coworker info page, project page, group, or department page is shown.

Improvements in Private Messaging

The following improvements have been made to the private message interface:

  • As part of replying to a private message you can now add new recipients to it.
  • You can also attach a video, photo, audio, or location to your reply in a private message.
  • Small UI improvements have also been made.
Send private messages to more than one recipient.

When replying to private messages, you can now add new recipients.

Edit Your Posts

After you have posted your update or comment, you now have the ability to edit the text of the post. The edit can be done by tapping on the “Edit” link below the post. If a feed or comment has been edited, all users will see the edited version of the text.

Find Coworkers

It’s now easier to find any coworker (and not just the coworkers you are following) in this release of the client. You can just type in the name or email address of the coworker in the quick find box and get a list of applicable coworkers in the search. Once you select a coworker from the results, you can send a private message, follow him or her, send an IM, assign a task, or write on his or her wall.

Improved Support For Guest Users

In this release, guest users using the client have access to projects or groups they are a part of. The UI has been simplified, so now modules guest users don’t have permission to access are no longer shown to them.

Improvements With TinyTake Captures

If a TinyTake captured screenshot URL is shared in a feed or comment,  you can now view the thumbnail of the screenshot. You can also view the image in full screen without opening the URL in browser.

Now when images are shared, a thumbnail is made available.
