External Release Notes: Android Mobile App v 9.1 (December 16, 2025)
New Features and Enhancements
Egnyte's AI Assistant Chat
Egnyte's AI Assistant is now available in the Android mobile experience, bringing AI-powered assistance directly into everyday workflows. AI Assistant provides a conversational interface grounded in the organization's data, offering concise answers, helping locate files, and supporting a wide range of workplace tasks through natural dialogue.
An Ask Me Anything button has been added to most screens, providing a quick and convenient way to open AI Assistant Chat as needed.
This feature is available for customers having Platform Plans with AI Add-on and included in the New Generation Platform plans. Contact the account manager or Egnyte Sales team for more information.
Voice Input for AI Chats
The Egnyte Android Mobile App now supports voice input in AI Chats, including AI-Driven Document Summarization & Document Q&A and Knowledge Bases. This enhancement allows prompts to be spoken instead of typed, offering an alternative and more natural way to engage with AI-powered assistance on the go.
A microphone icon is available within supported chats. When activated, speech is transcribed in real time, with a waveform visual indicating active recording. If a pause longer than three seconds occurs, recording automatically stops, and transcription remains available for review and optional editing. Recording may be manually resumed as needed (by tapping on the microphone icon), and the prompt can then be submitted through the standard submission control.
Voice input is currently supported in English only.
Redirecting Qualified Signatures to Mobile Browser
Egnyte Sign on Mobile now redirects qualified (Part 11-compatible) signature requests to the mobile browser.
This ensures that signatures requiring enhanced compliance are completed in the appropriate browser-based workflow, while standard eSignature requests continue to be handled directly in the app.
End of Support for Android 10
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible experience for our users, we will no longer support Android 10 in the Egnyte Android app. Beginning with version 9.1, the app will no longer be installable on devices running Android 10, and users on this OS version will no longer receive app updates, new features, or bug fixes.
To continue receiving updates and support, we recommend upgrading to the latest Android version available for the device.
