What's New with Thunkable? July 2023 Product Updates
We have another month of exciting updates and announcements just for you! Join us in exploring all our latest releases to make Thunkable the best tool in your mobile app-building arsenal.
Let’s begin!
Toggle Between Your Frequently Used Screens
We understand there is much to keep track of when building a mobile app. So, we’ve made it easier to toggle between the screens you’ll use most to accelerate your app development speed.
What Does This Mean for You?
Easy-to-use keyboard shortcuts are now available on the platform to enhance your building experience. See what you can do:
- Design and Blocks: Easily toggle between your Design and Blocks tab for rapid design and functionality building of your app by hitting the T key.
- Web Preview and Editing: Use the P key to switch between the designer and preview screen to better understand how your app is rendering on devices as you are building it.
- Zoom and Pan: Hit the Space key + Mouse drag to pan through your project and F to zoom out.

Commenting is Now Available in Thunkable Organizations
Take collaboration to the next level with comment capabilities in Thunkable Organizations.
What Does This Mean for You?
Collaboration efforts got much more manageable!

With this new commenting ability, your team can move faster, address concerns, or make changes immediately — without delays in feedback.
Who Is This Available To?
Teams can benefit from Thunkable Organizations, as it provides a more flexible and structured workspace for every team member to collaborate while building mobile applications. Are you interested in adding your team to a shared workspace and benefiting from this feature?

Android Software Updates
Android is releasing its latest update, Android 13, which is meant to improve productivity, provide new photo picker features, and deliver a better user experience on tablets and large screens.
What Does This Mean for You?
Starting August 31, 2023, new apps and app updates submitted to the Google Play Store will be required to target Android 13 (API level 33) or higher. With Thunkable’s multiplatform publishing capabilities, we make it easy for you to meet Android’s and Google Play Store’s requirements. When you publish your Android app, simply check the Android 13 box and fill out an Advertising ID declaration. View our docs for more information.
Who Is This Available To?
The latest Android 13 update is available to everyone with Android devices but will only impact Creators developing apps for Android devices who plan to publish or have previously published an Android app to the Google Play Store.
