External Release Notes: Egnyte iOS Mobile App v 9.4 (March 3, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
Siri and System Shortcuts Integration on iOS
Voice-enabled actions are now supported in the Egnyte iOS Mobile app, enabling hands-free access to commonly used workflows through Siri.
Users can initiate selected Egnyte actions using voice commands, including opening the AI-powered Ask-me-anything chat, accessing recent files, starting a document scan, opening Search, uploading files or photos, taking a photo, and uploading geotagged photos from a specific location.
To perform an action using voice, the command must include the word “Egnyte” (for example, “Hey Siri, Open Egnyte search”). The full list of supported voice commands is available here.
The same frequently used actions are also available in the iOS Shortcuts app. When a user taps an action button in the Shortcuts app, they are redirected to the Egnyte app and taken directly to the relevant screen, where the selected action is automatically initiated.
AI Chats Enhancements
Improved Text Formatting in AI Chat Responses
AI chat responses in the Egnyte Mobile app now correctly render Markdown-formatting. Text such as headings, bold and italic styling, bullet points, numbered lists, and links are displayed as intended within the chat interface.
Streaming AI Responses in Chat
AI chat responses in the Egnyte Mobile app are now delivered using streaming technology, allowing answers to appear progressively as they are generated.
Instead of waiting for the full response to complete, users can see the response build in real time, improving perceived response speed and providing a more responsive chat experience. The final content of the response remains unchanged.
Issues Addressed
Updated Office Editor Launch and Redirect Behavior
Tapping the editor icon to open Microsoft Office documents for editing in the Egnyte Mobile app previously sometimes prompted unnecessary installation flows or redirected users to the Microsoft Copilot 365 app, which can no longer be used for document editing.
Office files now open directly in the appropriate standalone editors - such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft PowerPoint - if they are installed. If the required editor app is not available, users are guided to the correct store listing to install it.
