Version History
version 24.04.30.0
posted on 2024-04-24
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Did you notice that custom status suggestions for your org were showing up on desktop but not mobile? Turns out things were just a little dis-org-anized on our end. Ha ha. Ha. No, but we’re sorry.
version 24.04.20.0
posted on 2024-04-17
What’s New
• 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 that we’re responsible for any lightness that descends upon you.
version 24.03.40.0
posted on 2024-03-27
What’s New
• 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!
version 24.03.30.0
posted on 2024-03-20
What’s New
• We cleaned the code to make sure everything’s running smoothly. Slack—now with a streak-free shine.
version 24.02.40.0
posted on 2024-02-28
What’s New
• 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.
version 24.02.20.0
posted on 2024-02-15
Bug Fixes
• Android users couldn’t trigger workflows in canvases if the workflow was displayed as a URL. This was, in fact, detrimental to the flow of work. Slack features need no dress codes, so however you choose to display your workflow, we’ll go ahead and run it.
version 24.02.10.0
posted on 2024-02-07
What’s New
• Happy February—how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? We’re not here to judge. Our resolution was to never just write “Bug fixes and improvements” for our release notes, even when we don’t have any particular changes to call out. Well, what do you know? Looks like we’re keeping up our streak.
version 24.01.50.0
posted on 2024-01-31
Bug Fixes
• Quick replies from push notifications were not being delivered, making the feature more of a slow and confusing notification dismissal. Everyone disliked that. This update restores both speed and accuracy to your quick replies.
For more information about this version (and the others), see https://slack.com/release-notes/android
version 24.01.40.0
posted on 2024-01-24
What’s New
• 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!
version 24.01.30.0
posted on 2024-01-17
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: An extra space can sometimes make all the difference. “Nowhere” can easily become “now here” with a tiny bit of separation. We also found that usernames with spaces made our search feature break. Oops. Luckily, there was just enough room to squeeze in a fix.
version 24.01.20.0
posted on 2024-01-10
Bug Fixes
• Now that the holidays are over, you may be feeling like you need a break from direct communication. However, that’s not why the DM tab was showing up as completely empty within Slack. That was just a good old-fashioned bug. New year, new bugs, same app you know and love, doing our best.
version 24.01.10.0
posted on 2024-01-03
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: The emoji picker, when failing to load, was causing the app to hibernate quickly and without warning. What’s the best emoji for a sudden crash? We hope this latest update elicits a positive reaction (emoji or otherwise).
version 23.12.21.0
posted on 2023-12-14
Bug Fixes
• We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.
version 23.12.10.0
posted on 2023-12-06
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: If you built an app using Block Kit, you may have noticed that your `plain_text_input` fields were not saving the text that was entered. Selective memory? A touch of forgetfulness? No matter the excuse, it’s been fixed.
For more information about this version (and the others), see https://slack.com/release-notes/android
version 23.11.30.0
posted on 2023-11-16
What’s New
• 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.
version 23.11.20.0
posted on 2023-11-08
Bug Fixes
• We’ve heard that, under the right circumstances, an uploaded video can “break the internet.” As it turns out, uploading a video can also “break the Slack app.” If the evidence is circumstantial, this fix is direct: No more app crashes during video uploads.
For more information about this version (and the others), see https://slack.com/release-notes/android
version 23.11.10.0
posted on 2023-11-01
What’s New
• 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!
version 23.10.40.0
posted on 2023-10-25
What’s New
• Like a runner steadily improving their split times, this update is the sort that's less showy but no less important. You'll find the app a little faster, a little leaner, a little closer to the goal.
version 23.10.30.0
posted on 2023-10-18
What’s New
• We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough cleaning. Everything is now running smoothly again.
version 23.10.10.0
posted on 2023-10-04
Bug Fixes
• Don't mind us—just removing some cobwebs. Minor bugs and digital detritus, begone!
version 23.09.40.0
posted on 2023-09-27
What’s New
• Alert: This will be the final version of Slack that supports Android 9. We know; goodbyes are hard. While you’ll still be able to continue using Slack on this build, you’ll need to update your OS in order to get all the goodies coming in future updates. Thanks for helping us keep Slack at the top of its game!
For more information about this version (and the others), see https://slack.com/release-notes/android
version 23.09.20.0
posted on 2023-09-20
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: In rare cases, when on a particularly weak connection, drafts would be sent to the next channel you opened rather than the channel it was intended for. Can you imagine if mail carriers treated “Return to sender” as “Deliver to the next house on your route”? We’ve fixed the bugs and double-checked our postage to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.
version 23.09.10.0
posted on 2023-09-06
What’s New
• Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Checked in the app store, there's a fresh update just for me. We could wax rhapsodic about some of the new features we have in store, but at the moment we're just setting the stage. Carry on, carry on—we'll have more for you in the future.
version 23.08.50.0
posted on 2023-08-30
What’s New
• This week we give you minor improvements too small to mention, but did you know that you can read through our past release notes anytime you’d like? Discover a feature! See how far we’ve come! Have yourself a sensible chuckle! They’re all available over at https://slack.com/release-notes/android.
version 23.08.40.0
posted on 2023-08-23
Bug Fixes
• Like a storyteller who can’t stop once they get started, the TalkBack feature was reading the entirety of a Slack message, even when you only wanted to hear a paragraph, a line or just a single word. That was fine if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, but for everyone else, TalkBack will now talk less when you ask it.
version 23.08.30.0
posted on 2023-08-16
What’s New
• Nothing new to announce this week, but did you know that you can read through our past release notes anytime you’d like? Discover a feature! See how far we’ve come! Have yourself a sensible chuckle! They’re all available over at https://slack.com/release-notes/android .
version 23.08.20.0
posted on 2023-08-09
What’s New
• Long channel names will now wrap in your sidebar, #instead-of-cutting-off-rando…
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Tapping on a channel’s bookmarked links would result in an error message that “Something went wrong.” We hope that every time a link works henceforth, you will think to yourself, “Something went right.”
For more information about this version (and the others), see https://slack.com/release-notes/android
version 23.08.10.0
posted on 2023-08-03
What’s New
• Fixed: Not a lot to share this week, but rest safe in the knowledge that we’re at work behind the scenes making sure everything is in tip-top shape. If you notice anything that shouldn’t be (or things that aren’t that ought to), drop us a line at feedback@slack.com!
version 23.07.40.0
posted on 2023-08-03
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Trying to use the same custom emoji multiple times in the same message resulted in only one instance of the emoji posting. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but consecutive custom emoji are awesome, so that’s been fixed.
version 23.07.20.0
posted on 2023-07-12
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but it seems that Android conversation bubbles were sometimes sticking around long after the messages in question had been read. We popped in a fix. Break out the bubbly!
version 23.07.10.0
posted on 2023-07-12
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Our magnifying glass illustration was obscuring search results, the irony of which is not lost on us. We hope you can see a little clearer now in its absence.
version 23.06.40.0
posted on 2023-06-29
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: “It’s now or never” seemed to be the implicit message when the app would crash after responding “Be there soon” to a huddle invitation. We know that there are myriad things pulling for your attention. Take your time; we’ll hold the huddle for you.
version 23.06.30.0
posted on 2023-06-21
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: In larger group DMs, scheduling a message was triggering the “no backsies” clause, whereby the app would crash suddenly if you tried to make any changes from the Drafts & Sent screen. We appointed our amazing mobile engineers to be “it,” and they went ahead and tagged out this bug.
version 23.06.10.0
posted on 2023-06-14
What’s New
• We’ve updated some of the language and illustrations within the app to make certain flows clearer and more inviting. It’s the same place you know and love; we just did a little dusting to prepare for company.
version 23.05.20.0
posted on 2023-05-10
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Eager to “return” to a moment before your message was sent? We found that when typing in Japanese on an external keyboard, the Return key was sending the message instead of adding a line break. We’ve “entered” a fix and “sent” that bug packing.
version 23.04.30.0
posted on 2023-04-19
What’s New
• Hello. Is it release notes you’re looking for?
‘Cause we wonder where you are, and we wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, because we have no release notes here for you?
Tell us how to win your heart, for we haven’t got a clue.
But let us start by saying: I have no release notes for you.
version 23.04.10.0
posted on 2023-04-05
What’s New
• 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.
version 22.04.20.0
posted on 2022-05-09
What’s New
. 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 impacted others in ways you can’t imagine. Oh, and no big changes to the app this time. Happy messaging.
version 22.04.10.0
posted on 2022-04-25
What’s New
. Dash on over to the Quick Switcher to find that searches will more accurately return channels with dashes in their names. If your hopes were previously dashed, we ask for a dash of forgiveness and wish to say you’re looking very dashing today.
version 22.03.20.0
posted on 2022-04-11
What’s New
. The size of the Slack app (the amount of data you download) is now a bit smaller, lighter, more compact. More efficient. Trim. Tightly engineered. Streamlined. Pared down to its essentials. You know, unlike this update copy.
version 22.03.10.0
posted on 2022-03-28
What’s New
. When previewing a channel prior to joining, you’ll now see the channel description displayed with the channel name for a bit more context. For when you’re unsure whether #the-owls is a channel for ornithologists, insomniacs or fans of the show Twin Peaks.
version 22.02.10.0
posted on 2022-02-14
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When attempting to edit your profile, the keyboard was obscuring the text entry field, with no way to scroll down and see your edits. We’d like to say that this is the sort of challenge that ultimately builds character, but instead we’ll say it was a bug which ultimately was just a pain.
version 22.01.30.0
posted on 2022-02-14
What’s New
. Prefer for tappable URLs to be underlined? We’ve added a new Accessibility option to the Preferences menu to increase visibility for those words that are, in fact, links.
Bug Fixes
. Long-pressing on a URL would bring up a menu with several prompts, none of which would actually do anything. We’d call it a false dilemma, but that would imply that any of the choices you were given were real options.
version 22.01.20.0-externalflavor
posted on 2022-01-31
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you opened the DMs tab and repeatedly scrolled up and down, you may have noticed that the preview text would slowly be replaced by multiple copies of the word “You.” It would seem our “New Year, New You” initiative had gotten a bit out of hand.
version 22.01.11.0-externalflavor
posted on 2022-01-07
Bug Fixes
. 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).
version 22.01.10.0-externalflavor
posted on 2022-01-03
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you manually marked a message as unread, you may have found the app took your instructions to heart with such conviction and intensity that the message could then never be marked as read. Time softens our most rigid postures (a code change doesn’t hurt either), so you should find message read states are now more appropriately fluid.
version 21.12.10.0
posted on 2022-01-03
What’s New
. No news is good news! Well, some news can also be good news, or no news could perhaps lead to uncertainty and speculation on par with bad news, but in this case our absence of news is a good thing. Or at least not a bad thing. No news is just fine. Carry on.
version 21.11.20.0
posted on 2021-12-06
What’s New
. The channel list just got easier to command! Tap and hold on any channel or DM in the Home tab to mark a conversation as read, mute notifications, copy the channel name or leave it entirely. All this with the press of a finger.
version 21.11.10.0
posted on 2021-11-16
Bug Fixes
. If you’re someone who sets their screen zoom and font size to the maximum values, you may have noticed that the text editing field was getting pushed offscreen. We want there to be room for everyone in the app, so you should find the editor now remains in view no matter how much you “enhance” the image. 🔬
version 21.10.20.0
posted on 2021-11-01
What’s New
. New emoji reactions will now appear immediately while in the All Threads view, because it’s exhausting switching back and forth just to see if people laughed at your Squid Game jokes.
. If you’re using Slack Connect to share a private channel with another organization, we’ll make sure it stays private on the receiving end. That is, there is no option when accepting a private shared channel to make it public. More peace of mind for you, more security for all.
version 21.10.10.0
posted on 2021-10-18
What’s New
. You can now record video and audio clips right within Slack. Add some face time to your team updates, talk through feedback, or just say hello. Want to sing your portion of the stand-up? Best check with your manager on that one.
. The channel list just got a little friendlier. You’ll now see avatars next to your Direct Messages, and for those group conversations with lots of names, we’ve given you a bit more space to see just who it is you’re talking to.
version 21.09.20.0
posted on 2021-10-04
What’s New
. Minor improvements have been made, and bug fixes taken place, but they’re the kind that are out of sight, behind closed doors, and quietly just doing their job, deep in the inner workings of the app, making things just a little bit better.
version 21.09.10.0
posted on 2021-09-21
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Tapping the search option on the Android keyboard while an active search was already underway created a feedback loop of meta-searches, eventually concluding in a crash. Turns out the app didn’t like being faced with the existential crisis of having a search within a search. A question within a question. A void within a void. Where were we?
version N/A
posted on 2021-08-23
What’s New
. This will be the last version of Slack that supports Android 6 and 7. In addition, starting on September 1st, you’ll need to be running Android 8 or later in order to connect to Slack. We know this is potentially frustrating news, but these minimum requirements are necessary in order to ensure Slack remains as secure and seamless as we built it to be. Thank you for your understanding.
version N/A
posted on 2021-07-26
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Custom skin tones were not being respected in reacji, giving you the generic yellow version instead. Going forward, the emoji you choose will now be the emoji that's shared.
. Fixed: If you start a new message with a ‘> ’ symbol, the message will be formatted as a block quote, just like it would be on our other platforms. You can (block) quote us on that.
version N/A
posted on 2021-07-12
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Links were not opening when Slack’s preferences were set to hand off to an external browser app, instead providing a vague and unsatisfying error message. This has been fixed, and the only thing vague and unsatisfying now is the ending to that screenplay we’ve been working on.
version N/A
posted on 2021-06-28
What’s New
. You know how sometimes you just become aware of how much tension you’re holding in your body, then take a deep breath and slowly let it out? This update is like that. It’s still Slack, just with a tiny bit less friction.
version N/A
posted on 2021-06-14
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you had your settings such that images would not be automatically expanded, our “tap to expand this image” prompt would get mixed up with any text previews generated from a posted URL, leading to similar amounts of confusion as experienced when describing this bug.
. Fixed: If a direct message from a bot contained buttons, and you tapped the message to view its details, the buttons would no longer work. Broken buttons beget bitterness, but better buttons bring bliss.
version N/A
posted on 2021-06-01
What’s New
. Did you know you can tap and hold on an emoji reaction to see who reacted to the message? Well if you didn’t, now you do. And if you already knew about that, go ahead and give it another go. We’ve made it dramatically easier to see who’s reacted to what. How dramatically? Eight years of theater school and a summer production of Hamlet.
version N/A
posted on 2021-05-17
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Long-pressing on the app icon to jump to a recent DM now actually takes you to that DM. We thought it would be better if our buttons actually did the thing we told you they would do.
version N/A
posted on 2021-05-03
What’s New
. If you’re well versed in Simplified or Traditional Chinese - or aspire to be one day - you can now use Slack in those languages. Set your language preferences in You > Preferences > Language & region.
version N/A
posted on 2021-03-22
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Marking a reminder as complete should give you a deep and profound sense of satisfaction, not an error message. Those errors are gone now, so you can keep blazing through your to-do list.
. Fixed: While you were crafting the perfect message, the slightest tap outside the keyboard would take you to a different place entirely. Now, we keep you where you are until you’re ready to leave.
version N/A
posted on 2021-03-09
What’s New
. Fans of the workspace switcher, take note: First of all, we are flattered you consider yourself a fan of the workspace switcher. Chuffed, even. Second, we’re giving it a refresh, so you can better distinguish your workspaces and switch between them more easily.
. For some, search is the heart of Slack. Now, it’s also the feet, because search is moving to its own tab at the bottom of the app.
version N/A
posted on 2021-02-23
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Tapping a profile picture or username in a thread used to do nothing. We weren’t ignoring you; we’re just really into this show at the moment. Tapping a profile picture or username now opens that person’s profile.
version N/A
posted on 2021-02-08
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: An obscure, odd, out-of-left-field crash. If you’ve ever tried editing your profile while also rotating your phone, you may have seen this crash. Now, you won’t.
version N/A
posted on 2021-01-25
Bug Fixes
. We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.
version N/A
posted on 2021-01-11
What’s New
. Previously, the keyboard would appear and disappear in a way that felt inelegant - or even choppy. We’re happy to report that the appearance and disappearance of keyboards has been smoothed out for Android 11 and newer.
version N/A
posted on 2020-12-14
What’s New
. Noble adventurer, your “slash command” skill has been upgraded. You now have access to the /expand and /collapse commands, and the power to expand or collapse inline images and video courses through your veins.
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: On phones with a “notch” (you’ll know it if you’ve got it), some content was hidden beneath the notch when viewing images full screen. Slack is now aware of - and respects - the notch.
version N/A
posted on 2020-11-30
What’s New
. Fixed: Adding a new line to a block quote or code block used to make Slack crash. That was then. Now, we won’t be blocking you from building your blocks however you’d like.
version N/A
posted on 2020-11-09
What’s New
. We do these releases every week to keep on top of performance... but sometimes there's nothing specific to tell you. So let's talk about some things we should have been better about telling you about in the first place. Like, did you know that you can long press on a message on mobile to set it to "unread", so it's there waiting for you when you get to your desk? Or set a reminder to look at it later? Oh, you did? Never mind, then. Carry on.
version N/A
posted on 2020-10-26
What’s New
. Slack is now available in Korean, which means you can finally DM your favorite BTS member! That was a joke, please do not do that.
Bug Fixes
. Time may be a construct, but you shouldn’t have to do math to know what hour it is. Now, we match your device's preferences when we display times. If you use a 24-hour clock, you’ll see it reflected when you set a custom status that expires or when you snooze a notification.
version N/A
posted on 2020-10-19
What’s New
. Maybe you’ve heard of Slack Connect, which reduces countless back-and-forth emails by letting you add partners, clients or vendors to a channel. Now, if your organization allows it, you can add another company to a new channel straightaway in the mobile app.
version N/A
posted on 2020-09-28
What’s New
. Bugs were squished, performance was improved, work was done, and the result was good. Please enjoy Slack responsibly.
version N/A
posted on 2020-09-14
What’s New
. Sometimes, we make improvements that are important, but invisible. This is one of those times. You shouldn’t notice anything different, and that’s the idea - Slack should just keep working like you expect it to.
version N/A
posted on 2020-08-31
What’s New
. Sometimes we release a new version of our app with improvements and bug fixes so intricate and unseen they can’t be conveyed by a collection of words. So instead of something new, and speaking of collections of words... have you tried keyword notifications - a nifty way to stay tuned in to topics you care about? Set or see your keywords by tapping You > Settings > My keywords. They’re very good.
version N/A
posted on 2020-08-14
What’s New
. New: For something you’ve read but need to come back to later, you can now mark a thread as unread. Long-press on the message you’d like to start from, and then select the option to mark unread from the menu. Yes, you’ve been able to do it with channel messages for a long time, but now, you can do it in threads too. Useful!

. Fixed: A few people noticed that you could select “Also send to channel” by tapping the blank space next to the checkbox in a threaded reply. We’ve tightened up that space so your replies only appear outside the thread when you want them to.

What’s New
. You can now customize your notification preferences on a per-day basis, which is a fancy way of saying that you can now pause interruptions with Do Not Disturb down to the day. (Looking for a feature to pause interruptions from pets, kids, or package deliveries? We feel you.)
version 20.06.20.0
posted on 2020-07-07
What’s New
. This is the last version of Slack that will work on Android 5.0. To get updates in the future, you’ll need to update your device to Android 6.0 (or newer).
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: If you drafted a reply to a thread, and then that thread was deleted, you were unable to open the draft you’d drafted. This was bad, but now it’s better: you can open, copy, and delete those drafts.
version 20.06.10.0
posted on 2020-06-19
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: When viewing the channel list, the ‘+’ buttons that let you browse channels or start a new direct message sometimes, well, didn’t. Now they do, every time.
version 20.05.10.0.
posted on 2020-05-26
TL;DR: We’ve redesigned the layout of the app. Read more about the improvements on our blog at SlackHQ.com or in our help center. Here though, we’ll stick to what’s new, and what has been fixed.
version 20.04.20.0.
posted on 2020-05-09
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: On some devices, the text input area sometimes wouldn’t be visible after changing channels. It hadn’t disappeared, it had just scrolled off the bottom of the screen. Cheeky. It is now once again possible to send messages without playing hide and seek with the message box.
version 20.04.10.0
posted on 2020-04-27
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Some users who are required to use a passcode when accessing Slack were experiencing a crash when entering that passcode. Entering the passcode will now cause you to experience the app. Which, we hope, is better.
version 20.03.20.0
posted on 2020-03-24
What’s New
. While you might not be able to see anything changed, we’ve been hard at work keeping things ticking over. It’s all going great.
version N/A
posted on 2020-03-04
What’s New
. What’s new? Nothing and everything. Or rather, it’s an update that makes things better, but is all invisible to the human eye or not something you could, as a user, put your finger on. Literally. So, in other words: “Bug fixes and Minor Improvements”.
version N/A
posted on 2020-02-20
What’s New
. The Android app has been looking after itself to bring in the new year, and as a result, it’s now a smaller download, with faster performance to boot.
version N/A
posted on 2020-01-23
What’s New
. 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!
version N/A
posted on 2020-01-08
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: In a message from a bot, buttons and menus configured to respond to a user’s actions weren’t actually doing that. This was not the first stage in a robot uprising: it was merely a bug. And is no more.
version N/A
posted on 2020-01-06
What’s New
. For those who love to format their messages on the move, good news, you can now get that done in a few clicks using the new formatting tool in the message field.
Bug Fixes
. If, by some chance, you rotated your device immediately after sending a message, a copy of that message would sometimes remain in the input field (as well as being sent). Why? Who knows! Technology is weird. But at least it’s now weird and fixed.
version N/A
posted on 2019-11-20
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Sending the /rename command to rename a channel without any other text no longer causes a crash. The /crash command, meanwhile, is still not working at all, so if you were using /rename to get that effect, apologies for the inconvenience to your workflow.
version N/A

What’s New
Nothing to see here... just plenty of tinkering behind the scenes to make room for other features (and bugs, of course) to come.
version N/A
posted on 2019-10-23
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: The “Aubergine Classic” theme was using the color scheme for the new, (perhaps future-classic) Aubergine theme. We have reverted to classic-classic.
. Fixed: Sometimes, when we tried to show a long message in a dialog window, it would show a blank window instead, which is basically the opposite. Sometimes things are said best when one says nothing at all. This, however, was not one of those times. So we fixed it.
version N/A
posted on 2019-10-09
What's New
. All default sidebar themes are now also supported in dark mode - so when you shift into dark mode, whichever of our default themes you use will subtly shift to complement it.
. In accordance with the unstoppable march of time, updates will only be available to devices running Android 5.0 (aka Lollipop) or later.
version 19.09.20.0
posted on 2019-10-07
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: In the Threads screen, after removing a reaction, it was not possible to add other reactions. Changing your mind, or your emoji, is your prerogative, and you are now once again free to indulge that.
version 19.09.10.0
posted on 2019-09-11
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Sometimes, if you checked the box in a thread to post your reply in channel as well, the reply would look like it had been sent twice in the thread... until you closed the thread and reopened it. It only ever posted once, but now it looks that way too. Apologies for the confusion.
version 19.08.20.0
posted on 2019-08-28
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: A crash that sometimes occurred after sending a message while offline, and then coming back online no longer occurs. The app stays up, and the message is sent. Everyone wins.
. Fixed: For those using Slack in UK English, the “Join Channel” button displayed at the bottom of a channel you had not yet joined was reading “Join %1$s”. It has been pointed out to us that this is not how the British spell “channel”, so we changed it. Awfully sorry about that.
version 19.07.10.0
posted on 2019-07-15
Bug Fixes
. Fixed: Sometimes, after tapping an image to view it in full-screen, it would disappear, which is the opposite of full-screen. It now does the opposite of the opposite, which was the thing you wanted all along.
. Fixed: @-mentioning or searching for users with names containing Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters now works as it should.
version N/A
posted on 2018-03-14
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: A notification for a new message in a thread will now direct you to the message, as it should.
• Fixed: Sometimes, when scrolling through search results, users would find a crash. This turned out not to be something anyone was looking for, so we fixed it.

Slack 2.50 Release Notes:
• Fixed: Where users couldn’t sign in with a longer org name of more than 21 characters, they now can, because after all, what’s in a name? (Spoiler: it is “sometimes more than 21 characters”)
• Fixed: Tapping on a bot or app icon with no network connection could cause the app to crash. Contrary to appearance, this was not the first sign of the robot uprising, just a bug.
