Bigin is on iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma

Hello everyone!

 

We're excited to announce that we've integrated Bigin with the best features from Apple's recent software rollouts, and we're here to give you a brief rundown of the latest updates to our iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps. For a more detailed look, head over to this page.

 

iOS 17

Interactive Widgets  

Widgets have evolved. You can now mark tasks as completed in the Activities widget and initiate calls, messages, and emails through the Contacts widget.

Live Activities

Live Activities offers real-time tracking with timers for Bigin activities right on your lock screen, providing convenient, timely updates.

3D Model

Say goodbye to outsourcing 3D model creation. Effortlessly capture and upload product 3D models in Bigin with our user-friendly instructions.

3D Floor Plan

Our real estate experts love RoomPlan, so we've integrated Bigin with MultiRoom. Scan multiple areas, capture rooms, and let us render a 3D property model for you.

SharePlay

With SharePlay, Bigin users collaborate in FaceTime calls on a shared email composition screen, collectively editing and attaching files before hitting send.

App Shortcuts

The redesigned Shortcuts App and Spotlight Search help you quickly access your most frequently used functions in Bigin.

Visual Look Up

This feature enhances visual recognition in both images and videos, encompassing a wide range of subjects such as pets, nature, products, food, and art.

StandBy

Activate Standby mode to select the Bigin content that appears on your iPhone's screen when you set it down on your nightstand.

iPadOS 17

Lock Screen Widgets

All your day's tasks, events, calls for activity tracking, and pipeline overview to monitor the records are present on this very first screen.

Tips

We've added helpful in-app tips to improve your navigation experience within Bigin, ensuring you discover and use often-overlooked features.

macOS Sonoma

Widgets on Desktop

Mac widgets were once in the Notification Center, but now you can place them on your desktop for a spacious view, keeping you updated on Bigin activities and pipelines.

Access iPhone Widgets on Mac

Power users of Mac and iPhone will be thrilled as Bigin widgets set up on your iPhone seamlessly appear on your Mac desktop with Continuity, requiring no extra setup.

The newest Bigin versions for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma are now available for download. Go ahead and give these features a try!
