Slack has made a host of tweaks to its iOS app that have just made real-time group work easier than, well, Slack.

You can now upload files directly from any other apps you have on your phone, like Google Drive, via a new Import File option nestled in the upload menu next to the chat box.

Saving images shared in Slack just got easier with a new tap-to-save function and sharing your favorite emoji is now better too, along with making the dialogue box bigger, Slack now leads with the ones you use most often.
