🆕 Task Visibility for Admins.

Hey everyone!

We've been paying close attention to your feedback, and one feature that's been highly requested is the ability for project leaders or curators to view not only their own tasks, but all tasks within a collaborative project.

✅ You asked, and we're delivering!
Administrators of Telegram groups, which serve as the basis for joint projects, now have the option to enable visibility of all project tasks in their project settings.

⚙ To do this, simply navigate to the project and click on the gear icon next to its name - this will take you to the project settings. Under the "Personal" section, you'll find the option "Task Visibility for Admins", which is off by default.

In addition to this feature, there are several other exciting enhancements in the current release that we'll be sharing soon 😉

We've just translated our first article about the app into English! Now, our English-speaking users can enjoy an insightful interview that our CEO, Denis, gave last month ➡️

Dive into the article to uncover a few secrets and gain a sneak peek into the near future of UTasks.

But wait, there's more!

📄 We're considering launching a series of articles, and we want to hear from you. What topics about our app, planning in general, and tasks pique your interest?

Drop your suggestions in the comments below.

Hey there! We're excited to introduce a new segment:
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions.

We've teamed up with our support crew to compile all the top queries. By the end of this, you'll be UTasks pros!

➡ How does "Date Planned" differ from "Date Due"?

In a task, there are two similar fields: Date Planned and Due Date. They're both of type "date" and may seem alike, but let's break it down:

The "Date Planned" field is when you plan to complete the task. Both the Author and Assignees can adjust this.

The "Date Due" field is the actual deadline by which the task must be completed. Only the Task Author can set or change it.

Example: You assign John the task "Paint the fence." The Date Planned is set for tomorrow, while the Due Date is next Friday.

John starts painting but can't finish in a day, so he reschedules for the next. He's aware of the Due Date and aims to meet it.

With multiple tasks, John plans when to tackle each to hit their respective Due Dates.

As the Due Date nears, both the Author and Assignee will see tasks due today in the TODAY block, along with a total count, highlighted in red. It's an extra nudge for both parties.

So, dive in and make the most of this handy feature! What's the next burning question?

Announcement: TRANSITION TO SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT VIA TELEGRAM STARS ⭐️

What's Happening?

A couple of weeks ago, all developers of Telegram apps received a notification from the messenger's administration stating that starting June 12th, all payments should be switched to Telegram Stars.

Telegram Stars is Telegram's internal currency, which users can purchase through in-app purchases in the Apple and Google stores or via the PremiumBot.

Why is This Happening?

Telegram's requirement stems from the pressure it's facing from Apple and Google. The messenger is in violation of their rules by allowing its apps to accept payments for digital goods and services directly from customers, bypassing Apple's in-app purchase mechanism.

How Will This Affect Users?

To be honest, when we learned about this a couple of weeks ago, we were a bit panicked. We were concerned: how will the payment process actually work? We prepared in advance, and yesterday, right after Pavel Durov's announcement in the channel, we were among the first in the world to try the update, and we were pleasantly surprised!

Subscription payment is very quick, convenient, and maximally secure!

You can pre-purchase Telegram Stars and then spend them on a subscription in our service, or you can do it all at once, in one action, when purchasing a PRO subscription. Externally, this is no different from a regular purchase in the Apple or Google store.

When Will the Transition to the New Payment Method Take Place?

We are currently in the final testing phase and will be ready to activate it at the beginning of next week!

Preliminarily, on June 10th or 11th, you will be able to pay for your subscription in Telegram Stars😉

⭐️ Payment via TELEGRAM STARS.

Hey everyone!
Starting from last night, we've switched over to subscription payments using Telegram Stars.

Here are the prices:
Monthly = 100⭐️
Yearly = 750⭐️ (-38%)

This pricing is actually cheaper than before, especially for the annual plan. Plus, the purchasing process is super convenient and secure.

If you want to be one of the first in the world to try out stars in action - hop aboard!

Task History and Comments.

Hi everyone!

We've rolled out a highly requested feature that many of you have been asking about. Here are the details.

📄 Task History.
Within the complete task card, you'll now find a new section called "History and Comments." Expand it, and you'll get a comprehensive view of all changes made to the selected task: from its opening to every modification, all documented with timestamps.

💬 Task Comments.
Now, when you respond to any task notification in the chat, your comment will be stored and visible to other participants in the task history.

🚪 For instance:
You might adjust the task completion date, add performers, or set new deadlines. The bot sends a notification to the main chat, and your reply can explain your decision. Similarly, after task completion, adding a brief comment about the outcome is just as simple.

These features make it easier to track task changes and keep everyone informed with participant comments.

Give them a try and let us know what you think in the comments!

Hello friends!

It's been a while since we last updated you - we've been fully immersed in our work. Exciting news is coming your way, so here's a sneak peek!

📣We're preparing to launch the feature that allows you to attach files to tasks.

You've been asking for this, and the time has come to deliver. This task proved to be more challenging than expected, primarily due to our rigorous security measures. Ensuring the safety and privacy of your data is our top priority!

We've been testing this feature for the past two weeks, identifying issues, making corrections, and testing again. We're almost there: soon, we'll have everything ready for the first version to roll out.

Stay tuned and cheer us on with your support!🔥

ATTACHING FILES TO TASKS

Hey everyone!

We've just rolled out a new app update overnight that introduces a cool new feature – file attachments! Here's the scoop:

Now, with every task you create, you can attach files using two methods:

1⃣ Simply click the paperclip icon when setting up a task to attach files. Each file can be up to 20MB, with a total limit of 10 files per task.

2⃣ Alternatively, in the bot chat, just hit 'reply' to any task notification and attach files as you normally would in Telegram. No file size restrictions apply here.

Where do we keep your files?

➡For personal tasks, your files are securely stored in your personal chat with the bot.

➡For team projects, files are stored right within your group chat.

ℹ Unlike other task managers, we don't store your files on our servers. We only keep secure links to them. This ensures your data's privacy and security.

To access attached files, simply click on the file name, and you'll be taken directly to the chat where it's stored. We're also working on a file viewer for the next version to enhance your experience.

⭐️ File attachments are exclusively available in our PRO plan.

We're eager to hear your thoughts on this new feature! Share your feedback in the comments or reach out to our support team.

Hello everyone!

We have a couple of good news from Telegram:

1⃣ Telegram has resolved the issue where the app used to display an annoying warning window (see picture) upon launch! Many of you requested this change and it's finally done.

2⃣ Another breakthrough from Telegram — now you can minimize the app and return to it at any time! It's incredibly convenient. Just minimize, send a message, and with one click, you're back.

It's great to see Telegram consistently improving the platform, making it more developer-friendly!
