Introducing Expanded Support for Interfaces on Mobile

[Rosalind_Lutsky]

Hi all! I’m Rosalind – a product marketing manager at Airtable focused on helping teams build powerful, custom applications that make work more efficient. I’m happy to share that we have expanded the capabilities of our interface feature for our Airtable mobile application. 

Starting today, users can access an expanded list of layout types on mobile, including Kanban views, Charts, and Numbers.

New Interfaces functionality on mobile 

Automatic setup. We’ve designed interfaces on mobile to work without any user setup required. All you need to do to access your interfaces is log in to your Airtable account through our mobile application on an iOS or Android device – your interfaces will show up automatically!

Note that interfaces on mobile do not yet support the Blank, Timeline, Record Review, or Record Summary layout types. 

Support for List, Gallery, and Calendar views. We’ve optimized multiple view types of display on mobile – making each easier to navigate and edit.

Support for Charts and Numbers. Now, you can view charts and numbers on your dashboards from mobile. Right now, this functionality is only supported on iOS, but we plan to expand this to Android devices in the future.

The expanded capabilities of the Airtable mobile app will make it easier to take quick actions on the go like commenting, viewing important information, and updating records, keeping you more connected with your work.

If you haven’t tried the Airtable mobile app, you can download it from the App Store or the Google Play store.

While we’ve prioritized mobile features that support user’s most urgent tasks, we will continue to expand our feature set across both iOS and Android devices, so stay tuned!

@EricGuy @idodan -- you may be experiencing this issue because your Interface pages are built on legacy layouts. We've been spending the last year improving those layouts so that they can be automatically responsive on Mobile. Hope this helps.

@Kelly_OShaughne I'd say about a month after this post, all of the interfaces currently available began working for me on mobile, so further issues on my end. I doubt that I'm building on legacy interfaces though since we've only just adopted Airtable as of December '23, but thank you for your follow-up!

@Eric Glad that it's all working now!

How come I still didn’t receive this update on my iPhone?? I am located in the EU (Denmark) and still running version 10.6.5 that doesn’t support these new interface features.

D you know when this update will be rolled out in my region?

Hi guys, the Charts and Numbers inteface has stopped working on mobile app. Can you guys check?

Hi there - am I experiencing a bug or are there any plans for Mobile Interfaces to automatically refresh for users on at least some interval? Currently, me and all of my employees have to go back all the way to the Airtable app's home page and by pull down to refresh, then go back into the interface again. I can't imagine this to be what everyone using mobile interfaces has to rely on for getting updated data to display?

Hello, I have a question for the list interface in mobile

I have a button in the interface that links to and external URL but the button only appears in the desktop, not on the mobile

I also tried putting the URL as a hyperlink in the description of the list and the link will not work in the mobile environment.

Is there a fix for this or not an available feature yet?
