We've released a new version of OpenPhone for Android which adds some functionality and fixes a few issues. Here's what's changed in version 4.0.15:

• Share received files and images to other applications.

• Added the option to login with a password instead of a magic code.

• Muted phone numbers are now clearly indicated in the side menu.

• Created an empty state for home, team, and search screens.

• Set OpenPhone as your default outgoing phone app when tapping phone numbers in other applications.

• Added your unread message count to the "skip to bottom" button.

• Fixed an issue where the screen sometimes needed to be unlocked when receiving an incoming call.

• Fixed an issue where the keypad sometimes overlapped with call information and controls.

• Fixed an issue where property tags were not syncing on contacts.

• Other fixes and improvements (26 in total!)

Update via the Google Play store to see all the changes. We'll have more to share soon, so stay tuned!

In the past, whenever someone on your team would create a new contact, OpenPhone would default to keeping that contact private. But we've heard from workspace owners that they'd like the opposite: to make new contacts shared by default.

So today, we're giving you that option:

• Workspace owners and admins can now set sharing defaults for new contacts added to their workspace. New contacts can be shared with the entire workspace, select phone numbers, or even specific individuals.

• Defaults will apply to contacts created in OpenPhone or synced from Google or CSV imports. Contacts synced from your phone's address book will remain private by default (though you can always share those manually using the "bulk share" option in the contacts section).

• We've also made usability improvements to both individual and bulk contact sharing.

• Webhooks are now sorted in reverse chronological order.

• Fixed a bug where the incoming call notification on desktop would not automatically be dismissed when you answer a call from a mobile device.

• Lots of other fixes and improvements.

We've released a new version of OpenPhone for Android which adds some functionality and fixes a few issues. Here's what's changed:

• Started displaying country codes (e.g. +44) for all non-US and Canadian phone numbers.

• Added support for downloading attachments.

• Started displaying sender name and number in group messages.

• Fixed a bug where the app would return to the home screen if your phone was rotated.

• Fixed a bug where your proximity sensor would stay active while on a call if OpenPhone was running in the background.

• Fixed a bug where OpenPhone would stay in the foreground after rejecting a call.

• Fixed a bug where date properties could not be saved on contact cards.

• Other small fixes and improvements.

Improvement

We've made a small (but significant!) improvement to our HubSpot integration:

• Call and text activity would previously fail to log if OpenPhone was unable to match a custom activity type to your HubSpot instance. Now, rather than fail, OpenPhone will log all your call and text activities without a custom activity type until the two fields match exactly.

This is just one part of a larger project to improve the stability of HubSpot contact syncing and activity logging. Stay tuned for more!

• Fixed an issue where the OpenPhone web app was crashing due to “Minified React error #311”

• Plus, other under the hood fixes and improvements.

🤖 OpenPhone for Android (4.0.11)

• Added a date separator to the beginning of a conversation so you know when the first message was received.

• Fixed a bug where files could not be downloaded unless you tapped outside of the file icon.

• Fixed a bug where swiping a conversation would cause multiple conversations to flicker.

• Fixed a bug where notifications did not display the inbox emoji.

• Fixed a bug where contacts were missing property tags.

• Fixed a bug where, in rare cases, users would see a "missing user id" error when attempting to text a number that wasn't previously saved as a contact.

• Plus, many other behind the scene fixes.

Completely rebuilt from the ground up (and thoroughly beta tested by hundreds of our amazing users 🙏 ), we’re finally delivering the Android experience you deserve.

Check out our launch video!

There’s plenty to get excited about, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty:

• With a faster and more responsive UI, OpenPhone for Android is now the snappy and refined experience you’ve come to expect.

• Reliability was another major focus for this rebuild. Rest assured—calling and texting work just like they should.

• Starting today, you can expect a much more consistent experience with your notifications. If you get a call or text, you'll know.

• Even better call quality. With this rebuild, we’ve made improvements to ensure you can hear—and be heard on—every call.

• As we wrap up our rebuild, we’ll switch to working on feature parity. The best is yet to come.

The all-new OpenPhone for Android is available now

We tied this release off with a bow and shipped it off to the Google Play store this morning. It might take a few days to reach your device, but you can look forward to it soon!

Golly, we sure do ship a lot. Hopefully you're not getting tired of these, because today's update is chock-full of goodness for our friends on iOS.

What's new

• Call transfers got a big overhaul. Now you can select -any- number in your workspace and even see their names and symbols.

• We integrated with Siri so you can use commands like "Hey Siri, call Jordan with OpenPhone." I can't wait to hear from you.

• Long-press any OpenPhone notification to see some handy quick actions. Fewer steps mean faster responses.

  

• Visiting the Activity tab now clears the red dot from your OpenPhone icon. Don't worry—blue 'unread' dots won't clear until you actually tap in.

• Now you can have recent calls from OpenPhone appear alongside regular calls in the "Recents" tab of your "Phone" app. Check settings for that.

• You can enable or disable international calls and automatic call recording directly from your phone number settings.

  

• Long-press any phone number in any app to find the new "OpenPhone 📞" option. That's right—you can now make OpenPhone calls from anywhere!

Bug fixes

• We stopped adding a string of random characters to your copied-and-pasted links. That was my idea. Sorry.
