Mobile apps in 2026 are moving beyond static screens and basic forms. Users expect apps that anticipate needs, understand input, and adapt in real time. React Native combined with AI provides a clear path to build cross-platform apps that feel smart and responsive on both iOS and Android.

You may have noticed a lot of recent changes with the mobile apps. Rocket.Chat has been maintaining two native versions of the mobile app, one for Android and one for iOS. This has proved to be quite problematic and we had to split our resources which is inefficient. We therefore made the decision to build a new app based on a common framework. After months of deliberation, testing, and lots of community help, we have finally decided to move to the proven React Native framework.
