When the Apple Watch was released, most companies developed an Apple Watch app for the device even if the app didn't do anything useful, because it wasn't yet clear how and when people would use apps on the wrist. It also let users receive and interact with notifications, features that are still available through an iPhone. The Slack Apple Watch app let users view unread mentions and view and respond to direct messages, but these features were not easy to use on a wrist-worn device.
Slack's Apple Watch app, like many of the Apple Watch apps that have been abandoned, was never particularly useful, so it's no surprise Slack has decided not to dedicate additional resources to it. It's like two for the price of one, but with apps. We've removed the standalone Watch App, but rest assured, receiving and replying to messages from your wrist works the same as before. Slack customers will, however, still be able to respond to incoming messages on their Apple Watch thanks to rich notifications.Īpple Watch users, there's now one iOS app for all of your needs. In an update to its iOS app today, Slack eliminated its standalone Apple Watch app. If you're unfamiliar with Slack, it's a team communication and collaboration platform for businesses. The latest company to nix its Apple Watch app is Slack.
Over the course of the last few months, several companies have decided to end development on apps for the Apple Watch, focusing instead on Apple's iOS platform.
