So I teased this in my last post<\/a>, but we’ve been hard at work improving the mobile experience for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its still a work in progress with more updates to come, but the first batch of updates was released earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re super pleased with the results, so lets get straight into the juicy details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Mobile builder optimisations – Amplify, Capture and Engage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have radically improved both the front end display and the mobile builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst there are a number of changes, I’ll mention the ones you’ll be able to see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A) Element autosize.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’re employing some new super cool AI to automatically detect screensize and scale text and other elements to best fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most other web design solutions make you manually set font sizes for mobile display (which can get tedious real fast), we wanted to be able to offer a solution where this was all handled auto-magically for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything which speeds up deployment of campaigns whilst also ensuring they look as good as possible for all users is a win-win, and we think we’ve nailed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s some before and after pictures so you can see how the changes look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

B) Images can now be resized for mobile output.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a nice addition, as if using a large image on the desktop variation you can now make the image smaller for mobile display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This screenshot shows how easy it is to scale your images for mobile devices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

C) Font auto-alignment.<\/strong>  You can see this in the before\/after pics above, all text will now be centred by default on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This goes for standard headline and paragraph text as well as other text found on buttons, form fields, etc…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small change, but one with high impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Facebook Instant Articles optimisation – Share<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Facebook is always keeping us on our toes with their continual updates.  One of the most notable updates they’ve released recently is Instant Articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many big publishers have already made the switch to Instant Articles which means that when you click a link to these articles from your mobile newsfeed, the article itself opens within Facebook’s Instant articles ecosystem, instead of within a regular browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, this meant that any Call to actions created via Wishloop Share wouldn’t work on mobile for any publishers with Instant Articles enabled \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happily, this is no longer the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how we felt when we cracked this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We will be releasing more platform-wide upgrades in the coming weeks so watch this space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all for now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
