And the rest of the decisions made were also geared around trends that are changing in terms of mobile app usage. “I’m extremely surprised at the number of enterprise people using chat on their tablets these day,” Curley said, talking about the need for an iPad-specific overhaul in particular.

And for Android users, the update that arrived mid-month in April is still a huge improvement, though Curley says now the HipChat mobile team is working on bringing the improvements from this iOS release back to that platform, too. Those who’ve used the previous versions of HipChat for iOS are definitely in for a pleasant surprise.

The update should also drastically improve performance, and will be especially welcome for users of HipChat on iPads, according to Curley. The HipChat for iOS revamp adds quick switching between open rooms via a lefthand sidebar file, link and chat history plus search new swipe gestures like those you’ll find in system apps in iOS 7 and much more convenient photo sharing. HipChat co-founder Pete Curley told me all about the changes made to both apps, which include a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements focusing on stability and performance, as well as totally new user interfaces that offer things like vertical tab navigation on the Mac for active chats, Notification Center support and more. Alongside that, HipChat is also launching version 2.0 for iOS, another native overhaul, and both show ample evidence of the progress the group chat and collaboration app has made since its acquisition by Atlassian last year. HipChat has done a whole lot of overhauling when it comes to its desktop and mobile clients over the past year, and now the native Mac app, which was released as a beta on February 14, is getting its full 2.0 launch today.
