JAKARTA - Slack released an update for the Slack iPad app on Wednesday, March 16. Updates are made because many workers need reliable, flexible and fully functional tools to do their best work.

Its main highlight is the powerful new interface. This feature was redesigned to introduce a two-column layout to the app and other improvements.

New two-column layout

The new iPad app will feature a redesigned two-column layout, to better reflect the layout of the desktop version.

When you select a Slack channel or direct message from the left bar, you'll see the content appear in the right pane. This new layout makes it easier for you to stay productive.

Sidebar Upgrade

Slack improves performance on the left sidebar of the iPad app to help you keep all your channels organized and easy to navigate.

Here are some of the most notable sidebar improvements:

Sidebar sections are now collapsible, so you can hide channel groups and focus on only important conversations Section preferences will now sync with the desktop version, keeping the sidebar consistent even when you switch between devices Usernames in direct messages now show avatar Channel activity can be sorted by most recent Just by long pressing on a channel name, you can access the menu to deactivate or leave a channel, copy a link to it, or mark it as “read”

Accessibility Improvements

The new Slack in iPad app offers a number of accessibility improvements. Now, the app has improved labels for Apple VoiceOver's screen reading functionality.

This will help visually impaired users to get more information about each conversation.
