Slack now offers four iPhone widgets - here's how you can use them

Designed for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, the new widgets let you use certain features without having to launch Slack.

Finally, there's the Lock Screen widget known simply as Slack, which takes you directly to the latest conversations on the last workspace you accessed.

In response to an X user who asked about widgets for Android, Slack said: "It's on our roadmap, stay tuned and thanks for your patience."
