Hi everyone,
This is the July community update. You can read last month’s update [here]( > Monthly Community Update -- June 2025).
Since my last update, we opened the native mobile beta to the public and we’ve already seen 49,000 apps built! Now, we’re full steam ahead on building out key mobile features as well as chat-based AI editing. More on that below.
If you haven’t heard, we recently announced the next two stops for Bubble Tour: Paris and London. We’ll be hosting BubbleCon in the US again in 2026, but so far this year we’ve been spending more time on the road. Bubble’s community is truly global, and these international stops have been a really exciting way to meet you where you are.
Let’s get into the updates.
What we shipped last month
The native mobile beta is officially available to everyone! Thank you to everyone who attended our livestream event and our celebration at Bubble HQ in NYC. Emmanuel and I have been looking forward to this since we announced it at BubbleCon in 2023, and it’s gratifying to see this beta out in the world.
Since launch, we’ve been busy building. Most notably, the mobile debugger is out now. This was built from the ground up specifically for mobile to help you inspect your app, trace your workflows, and refine layouts. Read more on the forum here. We’ve also been bug bashing and adding smaller usability improvements, including adding a filter on the plugin search page to make it easier to find plugins that are compatible with native mobile functionality. See below for what we’re working on next.
The team is hard at work on longer-term AI work (more on that below), but we’re continuing to make improvements to app generator outputs. Now when you create an app, Bubble AI creates a logo rather than leaving a blank placeholder. We’ve also made adjustments to how photos generated for your app are displayed alongside text to prevent instances of “overflow” that could make text hard to read.
On the security front, we’ve just gone through our SOC 2 renewal and passed with no exceptions, which validates our commitment to being a secure platform.
We’ve also added a new security check through Flusk which will flag if your API setup could expose sensitive information. Read more in the manual here.
Lastly, we shipped a few boosts to the editor. We added more context to the Go to page action to specify current page or dynamic page and we updated changelog to track changes to conditionals in a workflow which should help improve visibility as you build, especially for teams. Lastly, we added clearer confirmation wording when you purchase a plugin.
What we’re working on
Mobile: Now that the beta is in your hands, we’re focused on three key initiatives (outside of bug fixes and tweaks):
-
In-app purchases: When this is live, we’ll be the only visual development product on the market that integrates natively with Apple and Google instead of through a third-party service. Right now we’re working on a proof of concept for a simple subscription. Once that’s released, we’ll follow up with support for other purchase types.
-
Plugin editor: The marketplace is a huge part of the Bubble ecosystem, so we’re working on getting the plugin editor out of alpha so that you can build your own React Native plugins.
-
Deep links: This is a super high priority feature for us. Deep linking allows you to send users to a specific “view” in your app (often from a push notification) and is important for functionality like password resets and OAuth.
AI: The team is all-hands on deck for extending AI from MVP generation to the entire building experience. We’re aiming to release chat-based editing later this year.
-
Currently, our in-editor chatbot can help give you instructions and provide information on how to build, but we’re working toward a native-built bot that can make changes to your app on your behalf. An important element of that feature is making sure that you’re always aware of what the bot’s doing so that you stay in the driver’s seat the whole time.
-
Data type generation is in progress. The first iteration is designed specifically for new users (although it will be available to everyone) to help them build their app’s data schema. Describe a new feature you want to build, and Bubble AI will help create the data types and fields. It will also automatically generate privacy rules for any sensitive data types.
-
The team is also working on a proof of concept for mobile app generation. We’ll have more to share soon!
Property editor: We’re in the process of early user testing for our revamped property editor. Like I said last month, one of the main goals of this project is to improve pain-points around visibility. That means making the layout more logical, which in turn should make editing and deployment more efficient. We’ll be testing with subsets of power users to make sure this update is useful for apps of varying complexity and for builders across experience levels.
