Side Bar app on mobile device

julietmb — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 17:11:45 GMT

I've been creating my test application. But I notice that it doesn't appear on the side bar within the mobile app, only the desktop app. Is there a way to make it appear in both?

Hi @julietmb,
Thanks for checking here!
Could you kindly confirm what exactly the App you created, is it a Webex Bot or, Embedded App.
Could you share some reference screenshots, that'd help here to understand the exact problem area or, the item you're querying about.

Regards!
Sandip

Sidebar apps are not currently supported by the mobile Webex apps. There is a mention of this on https://developer.webex.com/docs/embedded-apps in the "Sidebar Notes" section towards the bottom of the page.

Are there any plans to enable this within the mobile app, as I know customers get frustrated when functionality isn't consistent?

There are plans to add it but an ETA is not defined at this time.
