This article provides a summary of all brioHR product updates (for mobile) released in Week 1 of November 2026.

Mobile App Update

My Team on the Mobile App

See your team in one tap. The Home screen now has a My team section that opens a new My Team page, with your direct reports and, for onboarding stakeholders, a dashboard of every new joiner they’re supporting.

Key Benefits:

👥 Your team at a glance – See your team members’ photos and member count on Home, and tap through to the full list.
🔍 Find anyone fast – Search your direct reports by name and tap to open their profile.
🚀 Track new joiners on the go – The Onboarding card shows each new joiner’s status, progress and overdue tasks, with search and filters.
💬 Everything in one place – Open a new joiner’s tasks, profile, chat, stakeholders, activity and orientation schedule without switching to the web.
✅ Nothing for admins to set up – My team appears for anyone with direct reports. The Onboarding card needs the Onboarding module and the Onboarding team page permission.

📱 Available from app version 2.16.0.

Edit Profiles and Approve Changes on the Mobile App

Employees can now update their profile from their phone, and managers and HR can update a colleague’s profile and approve changes wherever they are.

Key Benefits:

📸 Update your profile picture – Take a photo or choose one from your gallery, crop it and save. iPhone photos are converted automatically.
📝 Edit About, Photo Gallery, Experience and Education – With the same fields and formatting as the web.
👥 Update an employee’s profile – Managers and HR with permission can edit the same sections on an employee’s profile.
✅ Approve on the go – Approve, edit, reject, or dismiss Professional Experience and Education change requests from your Task list, with new push notifications for approvers and employees.

Onboarding Update

Complete Onboarding Tasks on the Mobile App

Managers and other onboarding stakeholders can now complete their onboarding tasks from their phone, so a busy week away from the desk no longer delays a new joiner’s start.

Key Benefits:

📋 Review submissions on the go – Approve a new joiner’s personal, payroll, bank and qualification details, or send back specific sections with a reason.
✍️ Handle contracts – Validate a contract, or download the signed copy and upload the company-signed one to countersign.
🗓️ Plan orientation – Schedule meetings and trainings, set first-quarter objectives, and give objectives feedback.
💻 Prepare day one – Request equipment, accounts, cards, seating and welcome packs, then confirm what’s ready, with serial numbers saved to the employee’s profile.
✅ Same rules as the web – Tasks appear in your Task list or under My Team, with the same steps and approvals as on the web.

📱 Available from app version 2.16.0.
