As many of you know, we just updated the My Big Campus mobile app for iOS, and the update for Android will be released shortly. I wanted to take a moment to describe the highlights, and to let you know where to find more information.
New features:
- Notifications: There will be a new icon for Notifications, with an indicator for new notifications. Requests aren't supported yet, but you will be able to see when someone posts on a wall or discussion, or sends you a conversation. Tap the notification to go directly to the post or discussion.
- Group Pages: Group content will now include custom group pages. You'll be able to view but not edit pages.
- Numerous usability and performance improvements.
Frequently asked questions:
