I can’t wait for the next macOS + iOS updates so I can use Universal Control to run Slack on my iPad and never have to open their bloated web/electron app ever again. I wish Slack would just let us run the iOS app on our macs with Catalyst, but they seem pretty bent on pushing desktop OS users to the web/electron version.

Is the iOS app not also web based?

  Last I knew the Slack iOS app is built with React Native, which still isn’t the best in terms of resource usage but is better.

  Probably, but if it’s not using my development system’s resources I don’t particularly care.

  For a short while when the M1 macs first released, people were successfully sideloading the iOS versions of Discord and Slack on them which were significantly lighter, but I think Apple has patched it now and it's not possible anymore

    Why would they block that? That's a huge selling point of the M1!
