🍏 Nextcloud on the App Store

🆕 Updated image viewer: swipe up!

When viewing images, swipe up to check out the full details of any picture, just like in the images below.

📺 Updated movie viewer, activate the PiP mode

The movie viewer has been updated with nice improvements as well! When you are watching a video in your Nextcloud app, if it is completely downloaded on your device you can activate Picture in Picture mode. Keep an eye on your video while you’re using other apps on your mobile or tablet.

🟢🌜⛔ View avatar and user status

The “status” setting feature was introduced in Nextcloud Hub 20 for the first time, and now it is available on the iOS client as well! You can see each user’s status with their avatar or picture. Know when your colleagues are:

🟢 Online and available – coordinate tasks with them

🌜 Away – don’t expect to hear from them until they are back online

⛔ Busy and really focused on something – they’ll not get any notification and you will know why.

Full resolution image view

“Use images in full resolution” is a new option added in advanced settings. If the images you’re viewing are not available locally in your device, they will be downloaded in full resolution.

📱No more split-mode

The split-mode has been removed! Now the Nextcloud app on all iOS devices, iPhone or iPad, is displaying the same view using the entire screen of your device.

🆕 Context menu

Long press on a picture instantly pops a new context menu to manage the file. Copy or move an image to another folder, open the image in its location see the full detail list, open it with another app, download it to your device or delete it completely.

Updated document scanning tool

Improvements as well have been brought on document detection while scanning a document. There are available if your device is running iOS 13 or newer.
