New Mobile app

Chat during a podcast recording session in the app

In the mobile app, Chat in a recording session opens over the studio, so recording carries on while you write to the others.

A recording session in the mobile app now has Chat at the top of the screen, for the host and for guests who joined by invite link. It opens the same conversation the website shows beside the studio, in a sheet over the room: the microphone, the call and uploads carry on underneath, and the take's state and time stay in sight above the messages. Done returns to the studio as it was. While the sheet is closed, Chat shows a dot when there are new messages.

A guest's seat is linked to their account the first time they open Chat, and the conversation stays in Messages after the session ends, where threads and profiles open. These changes apply to the mobile development app; native device testing is still required.
