Hey folks! We’ve had some requests to list changes made to the Perspective Mobile Apps. Since the mobile apps aren’t part of the normal release cadence, we’ve decided to start a separate topic for them.
We’ll list the app versions in the posts, but be advised that we generally have to wait a few days for the new apps to roll out on the various platforms.
