Slack Introduces iPhone Widgets to Make Work More Inescapable

• Slack has launched four new widgets for its iOS app, three for the homescreen and one for the lockscreen, making it easier to access the app quickly.
• The Catch Up widget on the homescreen provides a quick glance at unread messages and mentions, offering more detail than the app icon's badge.
• Two other homescreen widgets streamline status updates, with one offering quick access to status settings and another providing preselected status options like 'Focus' and 'Lunch'.
• These preselected status options are currently not customizable, limiting user flexibility.
• With Slack's pervasive presence on our devices, these new widgets could make work feel even more nonstop, integrating it further into our daily lives.
