Huddled’s new mobile experience has released, here’s everything you need to know about it
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the new Huddled mobile app, designed to take your experience to the next level. This major upgrade delivers faster performance, improved messaging, and a streamlined design to help educators, admins, and students stay connected effortlessly. You can read more about our approach to improving the communication performance in Mukil’s blog, Fast, Efficient Messaging for Huddled – our legendary full-stack engineer.
Why the big change?
To bring you the best mobile experience, we’ve made significant upgrades to the app’s performance, usability, and communication tools. These changes were so extensive that Google and Apple app store policies required us to create a brand-new app instead of updating the existing one. We’ve seen hundreds of other companies having to go through the same process too!
What’s New?
- Faster Load Times: Get into the app and access what you need in seconds, thanks to optimised performance.
- Enhanced Messaging: Send and receive messages faster, with improved reliability and responsiveness. Including a new chat search functionality too :)
- Better Notifications: Now our notifications will take you directly to the information you're looking for instead of just simply opening the Huddled app.
- Sleek, User-Friendly Design: The interface has been revamped to make every interaction seamless and straightforward.
What do I need to do?
To start enjoying the benefits of the new Huddled app, you’ll need to make a quick switch:
- Delete the old app, which is now renamed "Huddled (old)".
- Download the new Huddled app:
This is a one-time change, and all your login details, profile, chats and connections will remain the same. Updates following this change will be reflected automatically.
Why update now?
The new Huddled app ensures you’ll have the latest and greatest version of the platform moving forward. If you continue to use "Huddled (old)," you will experience slower load times, messaging delays, and other issues. Plus, “Huddled (old)” will no longer be supported or available for download.
Desktop users, don’t worry about this!
The desktop experience at https://web.huddled.net remains unchanged, so there’s nothing you need to do if you primarily access Huddled on your computer.
We listened to all of your feedback! We’re excited to bring you these improvements and can’t wait for you to experience how much easier and quicker Huddled is to use. Thank you for using Huddled.
