We're currently on app version **40.0.0** — be sure to update your app to take advantage of these latest features. Let's take a look at what's new from our most recent release on ***July 6, 2025.*** ## Improvements ### Smarter contact management and search [Contact management and search](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#search-for-a-contact) on the Dialpad iOS app are now smarter and more helpful. - Search results now include executive assistant details, and fuzzy search makes it easier to find contacts, even with minor spelling errors. - Shared lines and device contacts now appear across all tabs and have their sections too. - Contacts with multiple numbers (or assistants/executives linked) now show all numbers clearly. - Tap to call anyone directly from the contact entry, no extra steps needed. ### Improved messaging experience Improvements on [sending and receiving messages](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#send-a-message) on your iOS app include efficient quick replies, message editing, enhanced media handling, and clearer reply labels. - You can access saved replies with a new button in the message composer. Long-press a message to edit it, and while editing, the camera and gallery buttons will be hidden for a cleaner view. - Sending photos is clear automatically from the input field, and videos over 32MB can’t be sent (you’ll see an error). You can also attach up to 10 photos per message. - The **Mark all as read** button now disappears instantly after you use it. - Direct replies are back, with clearer labels like **Reply to message**, **Start thread**, and **Open thread** depending on the message. - The **Latest message** label now matches what you see on other platforms for a more unified look. ### Call experience enhancements We’ve made updates to [make calling on your iOS app](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#place-a-call) more stable, easier to manage, and overall better to use. - The call selection method screen will automatically hide if there's only one call method available, streamlining your outbound calls. - We’ve moved the **Block Caller ID** option under the **Select Caller ID** so it’s easier to find and set up. - You can now transfer incoming calls to anyone within your company—like teammates, departments, or contact centers, even if external transfers are turned off. ### Improved home screen & channel sync [Home Screen](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#catch-up) and [channel updates](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#channel-preview) now reflect in real time, with smoother syncing and improved reliability across devices. - Channels now automatically appear or disappear from your Dialpad home screen when created, joined, or left on another device. - Changes like muting or unmuting a channel on another device now reflect immediately on your iOS app home screen. Muted channels are also moved toward the bottom for less distraction. - Badges now correctly show unread mentions when notifications are set to **mentions only**. - Audio processing has been disabled for iOS 16 and 17 to prevent crashes, keeping your app stable and smooth. ## Critical bug fixes ### Call notification bug Some users reported that [calls kept ringing](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#notification-settings) even after the call ended. This has been fixed! ### Make a call bug A few users reported that they could [start a new call](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#place-a-call) while another was still connecting. We’ve fixed this. ### Caller ID bug Some users reported that their [selected Caller ID](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#caller-id) wasn’t showing correctly during calls. This has been fixed! ### Channel bug A few users reported an intermittent issue where the [channel](https://help.dialpad.com/docs/use-the-ios-app#channel-preview) list failed to load properly. We’ve fixed this. ## Other improvements We've also fixed some minor bugs and behind-the-scenes functionality, improving your overall experience with Dialpad. Happy Dialing! ## Related - [Use the iOS App](/use-the-ios-app.md) - [iOS Best Practices](/ios-best-practice-tips.md)
