HubSpot Update: Indicate the meeting duration when logging and editing a meeting on Android

Ever tried scheduling, like, a quick meeting on your phone and you just end up, like, wrestling with the darn thing?

Oh, tell me about it.

It's the worst. Like, why can't I just, you know, pick a duration from a list like I can on my computer?

Right.

So speaking of which, HubSpot's finally doing just that for their Android app.

Oh, that's big.

Yeah. No more manual typing for those meeting durations. You just pick from a preset list, like, on the website. And I gotta say, this seemingly tiny change, it really got me thinking about the bigger picture of, like, mobile productivity and how much those little things really matter.

Absolutely.

And that's actually what we're gonna be kinda diving into today. Like, why does this HubSpot update matter? And what does it tell us about where things are headed with mobile work tools in general?

I'm excited to dig into this.

Me too. So just to give everyone a quick rundown, HubSpot's Android app will now let users pick a meeting duration from a list instead of having to type it in manually every single time. And the cool thing is it's not like some premium feature. Right? It's available for all HubSpot users no matter what plan they're on.

And that's a good point to highlight Yep. Because it shows that HubSpot's really thinking about the core user experience for everyone, not just folks paying top dollar.

For sure. But, I mean, it does make you wonder why they didn't do this sooner. You know?

Well, it's probably more complicated than it looks. Developers often talk about this concept of feature parity, basically making sure features work the same way across different platforms. But it's not always easy. Mobile and web, they have their own quirks and limitations.

Yeah. I can imagine.

So for HubSpot to prioritize this, even though it seems like a small thing, it kinda signals that they're serious about making their mobile experience just as good, if not better Mhmm. Than their desktop version.

And that's huge because let's be real. We're all glued to our phones for, like, everything these days. Work is no exception.

Exactly. It's almost like those days of mobile apps being watered down versions of websites. Those are gone, you know?

Totally. Like, remember when Google redesigned their mobile calendar app a while back?

Yeah.

Just that one change made such a huge difference for, like, how I manage my schedule when I'm on the go.

Right. And I think that's what's so interesting about this HubSpot update. It's a good reminder that these little changes, they might seem small, but they can actually make a huge impact on how people actually use and adopt a tool, especially for a company like HubSpot that has such a diverse user base.

Yeah. Totally. Now it's worth mentioning that the announcement did say this is based on HubSpot's current plans as of October 14th 2024.

Right.

And while we all know things change, especially in tech, what's here today might be gone tomorrow or at least, you know, different.

Absolutely. But even if the specifics of this update shift a bit down the line Yeah. I think it still points to something important. HubSpot's paying attention to how people use their mobile products Yeah. And they're actively trying to make them better.

And that in itself is a really good sign.

It really is. So to our listeners out there, we wanna hear from you. What really stands out to you about this HubSpot update? And, you know, what other things drive you crazy when you're trying to get work done on your phone? Like, what would make your life easier?

Let us know.

Yeah. Chime in. Because as we've been saying, sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. And you never know. Your feedback could be the thing that sparks the next big improvement in, like, the mobile work world.

Exactly. And that's what's kind of exciting. Right? This HubSpot update is just one small example of how things are constantly evolving and improving, at least, hopefully. And, hey, maybe it's a good reminder for all of us to speak up about the things we'd like to see change, you know?

Totally.

Because you never know who's listening and what small tweak could make everyone's workday a little bit brighter.

I love that.

Alright. That's it for today's deep dive. We'll catch you next time.

See you then.
