In this Platform Academy session, explore real use cases, see it in action, and learn how platform owners, process owners, and fulfillers can use Dynamic Guidance to reduce support tickets, accelerate onboarding, and maximize time-to-value on the platform.

July 7th, 2026 - What's new for mobile in Australia

The Australia release enhances the ServiceNow® Mobile Platform with intelligent, mobile-first innovations that help users stay productive anywhere, introducing an AI-powered voice assistant for hands-free interaction, seamless online-to-offline continuity that keeps work moving even without connectivity, and improved offline capabilities that preserve data, attachments, and actions until automatic sync on reconnection. Administrators benefit from a new mobile_admin role that delivers more precise and secure control over mobile configuration, while frontline teams can securely share devices with support for multiple users accessing a single account through personalized PINs, reducing friction in shift-based environments. Together with enhancements like configurable PIN timeouts, offline form reliability, and push notifications for logged-out users, these updates make the mobile experience more resilient, secure, and adaptable to modern work environments.
