Mobile v4.1.73
Chat comes to the flair mobile app 4.1.73, released 19 October 2026.
🆕 New Features
Chat: Employees can now chat with colleagues in the mobile app. Start one-to-one or group conversations, send, edit and delete messages, rename groups, add or remove people, and leave a chat. A chat card on the home screen shows the latest conversations and unread messages, and tapping a chat push notification opens the conversation. Chat history stays readable while you're offline, and messages you send offline are queued. Chat is not shown when your company hides chats.
Onboarding: When a newer version of the app is available in the App Store or Google Play, the app now shows a message on start with a link to the store. You can dismiss it and keep using the app.
🔧 Improvements
Requests: Employees can now request an absence that overlaps an existing one when the absence category allows overlaps, for example sickness during vacation. The app explains what happens to the existing absence instead of blocking the request.
Requests: When an absence category requires a rejection reason, the app now asks for one before a manager can reject a request, on the task screen, in the approval requests list and in the request details.
Requests: The expense form now follows the same field settings as the Employee Hub: fields your admin hides no longer appear, and required fields must be filled in before submitting.
Requests: Employees can now choose the VAT rate for each line of a reimbursement instead of every line using the same default rate.
Settings: The app is now fully translated into German, French and Italian, and German wording now matches the web Employee Hub.
🐞 Bug Fixes
Dashboard: The app now respects the settings that hide absences, personal documents, expenses and workflows for some employees, also in the Add menu and the Workflows tab.
Requests: Expense groups can now be deleted only while they are drafts, matching the Employee Hub, and the app shows an error message if a deletion is refused.
Requests: Fixed the employee name and dates appearing swapped in the lists of absence requests and time change requests that managers review.
Requests: Hourly absence requests now record the hours you picked instead of a default 9:00–17:00 span.
Requests: Saving an expense no longer clears its category, merchant, project or date when your company has added these as custom form fields, and small receipt photos under 2 MB attach again on Android.
Time Tracking: When you clock in too early, the app now shows the required rest period, the same as the web Employee Hub, instead of the maximum daily working time.
Time Tracking: Fixed the work and break times appearing swapped in the break rules, the deficit being labelled "Overtime" in the monthly chart, and absence balances showing the number twice, such as "1 1 day".
Calendar: The shift transfers screen now shows its title.
Documents: The Company Documents screen opens again when one of the company documents has no file attached.
Onboarding: Signing in with a company domain no longer fails with an incorrect email or password message when the same credentials work on the web, and single sign-on with Google Workspace and other strict providers works again on Android and iOS.
Onboarding: After you sign out and sign in with a different account on the same device, the app no longer shows the previous account's absence requests, approvals or time tracking.
Settings: The "Delete account" and "Support" links on the More tab now open the right Knowledge Base pages.
Dashboard: Buttons at the bottom of the screen are no longer hidden behind the keyboard on Android 16 or behind the navigation bar on Android phones with three-button navigation.
