Do you have our mobile app installed on your phone? Here’s the important news: we’ll be sunsetting Slido’s mobile apps for iOS and Android on March 30, 2026. Don’t worry, as a participant, you can still interact with polls and ask questions in Slido through your desktop or mobile browser and video conferencing platforms. Our goal with the mobile app was to give you another easy way to join Slido. Since less than 0,1% participants use it now, we’ve decided to focus our resources on improvements that align with our vision and better serve our users in the long run.  What’s happening next?In January, anyone accessing Slido via mobile app will see an in-app notification about this change. We’ll also remove the app from app stores at that time, so it won’t be available for new downloads. If you already have the app installed, you can continue using it on your device
