During March and April, GitHub Mobile introduced several updates, including bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and a range of new features to make coding and collaboration on the go more seamless. From selecting the model you prefer when using Copilot, to a new way to search within a file, these updates enhance productivity and keep you connected wherever you are.
What’s new?

- Introducing sub-issues on GitHub Mobile. Track progress and understand remaining work within a parent-child hierarchy on the go.
- Issue timelines now include events related to sub-issues.
