Microsoft Yammer fixes a PDF file viewing issue on devices running Android Nougat with an SD card.

Yammer is Microsoft's social network for enterprises, a platform that lets you collaborate with team members "and stay on top of it all". Microsoft has updated Yammer for Android with a few fixes, no new features this time around.

Microsoft made sure users can view PDF files should their network block the download of such files. They also fixed an issue where users were having trouble viewing PDFs on Yammer on devices running Android Nougat with an SD card. This is no longer an issue and Yammer will now be able to open these PDF files stored on the storage card.

If you use Yammer at work, and if the update has been approved by your system administrator, get it in Google Play Store.

Microsoft fixes Yammer crash on devices running Android 8.0 Oreo.

Yammer, Microsoft’s social network for the enterprise, has been updated on Android. The update does not add new features to the app, but includes some fixes that make it compatible with Oreo, the latest iteration of Android. This version of the popular mobile OS is also known as Android 8.0 and was released last month. However, the update is available on Google’s remaining Nexus and current Pixel devices. No other device manufacturers have released the update yet, but some, like Motorola and HTC have already announced the upgrade will be made available for some of their devices without specifying any dates.

That said, Microsoft has published an update for Yammer on Android that will prevent the app from crashing. In other words, Yammer is now Oreo friendly. Microsoft also fixed a crash on Android 5.1 and below version when downloading an attachment.

If you’re a Yammer user, grab the update in Google Play Store.

Tabs navigation is much, much faster in Yammer now.

Yammer is or tries to be the Facebook of enterprises. The company has been acquired by Microsoft a few years ago and it seems the team has kept its independence within the company. However, I'm not sure Yammer is the goto platform when it comes to collaboration within the enterprise. Microsoft, obviously, uses Yammer internally. They updated it with some serious performance improvements, to the point of stating that the "Loading icon is an endangered symbol". In other words, navigating through the Groups, Feed, Inbox and Notifications tabs will be "much, much faster now."
