If there's one thing we need, it's to be more logged on. And Slack has found a way to do that for us.

If you have Slack on your phone, first of all, I'm so sorry. But apparently some smartphone app users who totally have a regular relationship with their jobs have been begging for widgets.

"Three new Slack iOS widgets are here to make your workday a whole lot easier," Slack said in a post on X announcing the addition. "Add the Catch Up widget, Status widget, and Slack Launcher widget to your device and stay in the know on the go."

The Catch Up widget occupies a 2x2 space and lets users see a quick overview of what they missed, as the name implies. You can see unread messages and mentions without having to actually open the app. The Status widget also takes up a 2x2 space on your phone and lets users select and change their status quickly. The largest of the three new widgets is the 4x2 Status widget, which allows users to use one of three predetermined options: one-hour "focus" and "lunch" statuses and a half-hour "take a break" status.
