Work Faster on the Go: New Mobile for Jira Updates That Change How You Manage Work

[#1]

Mobile work should not feel like a limited version of your desktop experience. With this latest update to Mobile for Jira, we are closing that gap by giving you more control, clearer visibility, and better support for advanced use cases.

Here is what is new and why it matters in your day-to-day work.

Customize Your Space Screen Around Your Workflow

You can now decide what appears on your Space screen, making it easier to focus on what matters most.

Instead of navigating through unnecessary sections, you can prioritize the views and information that support your role. For example, a project manager can highlight key project spaces, while a developer can focus on active work items.

What this improves:

• Faster access to relevant content
• Less time spent navigating
• A more personalized mobile experience

See Progress Instantly in the Timeline

The Timeline feature now shows progress directly within the view, giving you an immediate understanding of how work is moving forward.

This is especially useful when reviewing project status during meetings or while away from your desk. Instead of opening multiple issues, you can quickly assess whether work is on track.

What this improves:

• Immediate visibility into issue progress
• Faster status checks during meetings
• Better decisions without extra steps

Set Smarter Defaults in Calendar Filters

Calendar filters now support default issue type and default assignee, helping you land directly on the most relevant view every time.

For example, a team lead can open the calendar and instantly see all assigned tasks for the week without reapplying filters, while a QA engineer can focus only on specific issue types.

What this improves:

• Less repetitive setup
• More consistent views
• Faster planning and scheduling

Bring Script Runner Power to Mobile (Cloud)

Script Runner fields are now supported on Cloud across issue details, search, and sorting.

What this improves:

• Full visibility of custom fields on mobile
• Consistent experience across devices
• Stronger support for advanced workflows

Closing Thoughts

This release is focused on one goal: making Mobile for Jira a tool you can rely on, not a fallback when you are away from your desk.

By improving customization, visibility, and support for advanced features, you can now manage work with more confidence directly from your mobile device.
