Rocket.Chat

Rocket.Chat is moving its mobile apps to React Native

You may have noticed a lot of recent changes with the mobile apps. Rocket.Chat has been maintaining two native versions of the mobile app, one for Android and one for iOS. This has proved to be quite problematic and we had to split our resources which is inefficient. We therefore made the decision to build a new app based on a common framework. After months of deliberation, testing, and lots of community help, we have finally decided to move to the proven React Native framework.

Changes to notification behavior

Rocket.Chat has always tried to be smart when sending mobile notifications. We don’t want to disturb you with useless notifications, but we understand this is confusing to our users. Users expect notifications and think there are bugs when none are actually being sent. We have created a diagram to show the current conditions that cause Rocket.Chat to send a notification.
