# 󠀁[Contribute to the Future of the WordPress App](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2023/04/11/contribute-to-the-future-of-the-wordpress-app/)󠁿

[Since July 2022](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2022/07/27/refocusing-the-wordpress-app-on-core-features/),
the WordPress mobile team has been refocusing the WordPress app on coreCore Core
is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds
WordPress. features. We’re excited to announce that most of this work is now complete,
and there are ample opportunities to get involved in shaping the future. 

# What’s Changed?

The following Jetpack features have been removed from the WordPress app and are 
now only available in the Jetpack app:

 * Stats
 * Reader
 * Notifications
 * Activity Log
 * Backup
 * Sharing (Jetpack Social)
 * Jetpack blocks (BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units 
   of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using
   the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have
   achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent
   API and user experience. Editor)
 * @-Mentions and Crossposting (Block Editor)

In addition, core features that relied on the WordPress.comWordPress.com An online
implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress
environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by
Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best
place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. [https://wordpress.com/](https://wordpress.com/)
APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that
allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined
ways., including People, Themes, and Menus, have been removed from WordPress.com
and Jetpack-connected sites. (These features have never been available to self-hosted
users without a Jetpack connection from the WordPress app.) Placeholders of Jetpack-
powered features will remain in the app for some period of time to allow for a transition
for users of these features.

There is still some work to be done, particularly with login, which we knew would
take some time to decouple. The WordPress.com REST APIREST API The REST API is an
acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests
to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think“
phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or“
file system”) [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/)
still authenticates WordPress.com users, and these users should have the option 
to use the WordPress app if desired. The mobile team will continue to work on this
challenge with the aim of eventually removing this dependency.

However, with many Jetpack-specific features now removed, we’re ready to look to
the future of the WordPress app. 

One of the goals behind refocusing the app was always to enable larger involvement
from the community, and we look forward to seeing all the great contributions and
developments that will come from this decision. 

# How to Get Involved

Do you want to help shape the future of the WordPress mobile app? Here’s how you
can contribute and make a difference:

 * Write and submit code. If you’re a developer, you can contribute to the app’s
   codebase by submitting pull requests through GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website
   that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared,
   copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host,
   private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept
   of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can
   be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/):

 * [WordPress for iOS](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS) is ~80%
   Swift, with Objective C making up some parts of the codebase.

 * [WordPress for Android](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android)
   is written in Kotlin (~66%) and Java (~34%).

 * If ReactReact React is a JavaScript library that makes it easy to reason about,
   construct, and maintain stateless and stateful user interfaces. [https://reactjs.org](https://reactjs.org/)
   Native is your jam, you could consider contributing to the editing experience
   in both apps with [Mobile Gutenberg](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile).

 * Test and review new features. Fortnightly [calls for testing](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/tag/call-for-testing/)
   are posted to this blog, with steps you can take to participate. 

 * Report bugs. This can be done through the [WordPress for Android](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android),
   [WordPress for iOS](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/), or [Gutenberg](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg)
   GitHub repositories. If you’re unsure where to file your report, you can get 
   guidance in the [#mobile](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/tag/mobile/) channel
   on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
   The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
   or add your comment to the fortnightly calls for testing. 

 * Suggest or design new features. If you want to get further involved in the app’s
   design, check out the [#design](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/tag/design/)
   channel on Slack and follow +design.

 * Open GitHub tickets with your proposals for the path forward.

 * Translate the app. If you’re fluent in a language other than English, you can
   help by [translating the app](https://translate.wordpress.org/) so more people
   can use it.

 * Translate the WordPress docs. You can help by [translating the WordPress docs](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/helphub/translating-helphub/)
   so more people can find help.

 * Help others. You can answer questions and help others in [the new WordPress mobile app’s support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/mobile/).

Have questions? Not sure how to contribute? Comment on this post or ask in the Slack
[#mobile](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/tag/mobile/) channel. We’re excited 
to continue building something great together!

# 󠀁[New Mobile Support Forum](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2023/03/28/new-mobile-support-forum/)󠁿

### TL;DR

For the past few months the mobile team has been working on [refocusing the WordPress App](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2022/07/27/refocusing-the-wordpress-app-on-core-features/)
to provide a closer-to-coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.
The Core Development Team builds WordPress. experience. As part of this effort, 
we saw an opportunity to rethink how we handle support for the WordPress mobile 
apps and the outcome of this was the new forum for the WordPress app: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/mobile/](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/mobile/).

### The problem this solves

For the past few years, WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress
code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your
content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest
multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you
have never touched WordPress before. [https://wordpress.com/](https://wordpress.com/)
Happiness Engineers have been providing support for the WordPress app, including
support for self-hosted users. Tickets submitted via an in-app support flow routed
to a private queue that WordPress.com Happiness Engineers can reply to.

Separate from the in-app support flow, dedicated WordPress.orgWordPress.org The 
community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is 
where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as
well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)
support forums previously existed for the Android and iOSiOS The operating system
used on iPhones and iPads. WordPress apps. These forums were closed as part of an
effort to retire older and infrequently used bbPressbbPress Free, open source software
built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. [https://bbpress.org](https://bbpress.org)
installations. As most users were going through the in-app support flow for help
and the mobile forums were rarely used, it wasn’t deemed necessary to migrate the
forums to the newer forum setup on WordPress.org.

With the effort to remove all WordPress.com and Jetpack dependencies from the WordPress
app, it no longer became appropriate for support requests to only be routed to WordPress.
com Happiness Engineers. The mobile team revisited the current in-app support flow
to figure out where users who are looking for help can be best served. 

### The new vision for support

In the spirit of providing a closer-to-core experience, from WordPress mobile app
v22.0 onward, all users will now be directed to the new forum to get help in public
from the WordPress community. 

We created the new forum as the best resource to get support for the WordPress mobile
apps. By guiding users to the dedicated forum to get help, we bring the WordPress
mobile apps in alignment with the way core WordPress software handles support.

### How did we make this happen

The WordPress community made this happen through collaboration in [the Support Team discussion channel](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQC6RW)
in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
and MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us,
this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and
Make WordPress. TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for 
bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/).
tickets such as [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6686](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6686).

A big thank you to everyone involved in this initiative to provide better and more
open support to the WordPress app.

   describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout

   into a single consistent API and user experience. Editor to enable the block 
   editor for new posts.

   issues and leave a new comment if it has already been reported or create a new
   issue if you cannot find a previous report.
 * If you find a problem with any part of the app other than blocks in the block
   editor, please search the [WordPress-iOS issues](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues)
   and leave a comment it has already been reported or create a new issue if you
   cannot find a previous report.

   this post.
 * Please always note the app version and device info you tested with!
 * In GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git 
   repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
   Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription.
   GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in
   branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by
   the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/), a bot may ask
   for labels but you may not have rights to add them. Know that labels will be 
   added by someone on the triage team.
 * Please **do not** include full Activity Logs which include tokens. Activity Logs
   can be very helpful for debugging but you should only include them if you have
   removed tokens as those should not be shared publicly. You can find the logs 
   at Account > Help & Support > Application log.
