NChat app: Conversations as the home screen, search and filters in view, notification bell and Apps tab

The NChat app now opens straight to your conversations πŸ“²

The app's navigation is now closer to WhatsApp, which your team already knows. Conversations becomes the home screen, and what used to hide behind icons now shows up without a single tap.

What changes

  1. Conversations is the home screen. When you open the app, you land on the conversation list, not on the Inbox.
  2. Search fixed at the top. The bar is always visible. Tap it to search contacts, conversations and messages.
  3. Filters always in view. Assignee, status, sort order, inbox and team appear right below the search bar. "Clear" is still there.
  4. Notification bell. The Inbox left the bottom bar and became a bell in the top right corner, with the number of unread notifications.
  5. Apps tab. Your account's apps, such as NLytics, now have their own tab and open in full screen. They are no longer in the conversation's three-dot menu.

The new bottom bar

Conversations, Apps, Contacts and Settings, in that order. The Apps tab is shown according to each user's permissions.

Benefits

  • Fewer taps to find a conversation or filter the queue in the middle of the rush
  • Pending notifications visible inside the app, not only on the phone icon
  • NLytics dashboards working on mobile the same way they do on the web

For those who handle guests on the go, between one check-in and the next, what you need is on the very first screen.
