Activity Feed: Track Everything in Real-Time

Omar Masad -

The Activity Feed gives your team a real-time stream of everything happening within an app. Every release upload, task update, blocker report, and comment is logged automatically, so you always know what your team has been working on.

Where to Find the Activity Feed

To access the Activity Feed, navigate to any app in your TestApp.io portal and click the Activity tab in the sidebar. Each app has its own dedicated feed, so you see only the activity relevant to that project.

What Shows Up in the Feed

The Activity Feed captures a wide range of team actions, including:

  • Release uploads — When a teammate uploads a new build, it appears in the feed with version details.
  • Task creation and updates — New tasks, status changes, assignments, and completions are all tracked.
  • Blocker reports and resolutions — See when blockers are raised and when they get resolved.
  • Version status changes — Track when a release moves through different statuses.
  • Integration sync events — Activity from connected tools like Jira or Linear appears here automatically.
  • Comments and mentions — Comments posted on releases and tasks show up in the feed, along with any @mentions.

Interacting with Activity Items

The Activity Feed is not just a read-only log. You can interact directly with any item in the stream.

Reply to Activity

Click Reply on any activity item to add a comment directly in context. This is useful for asking quick questions about a release or acknowledging a completed task without navigating away from the feed.

@Mention Teammates

Type @ followed by a teammate's name to mention them. They will receive a notification, making it easy to pull someone into a conversation or flag something for their attention. For example, you might reply to a release upload with @Sarah can you test this on Android 14?

Add Emoji Reactions

React to any activity item with an emoji. Reactions are a quick, lightweight way to acknowledge an update without adding a full comment. Use them to signal approval, celebrate a milestone, or simply let your team know you have seen an update.

Real-Time Updates

The Activity Feed updates in real time. When a teammate uploads a release, creates a task, or posts a comment, the new activity appears in your feed instantly — no page refresh needed. This makes the feed a reliable, always-current view of what is happening across your app.

Tips for Using the Activity Feed

  • Morning standup catch-ups: Open the Activity Feed at the start of your day to see what happened overnight. It gives you a quick summary of all team actions without needing to check multiple pages.
  • Track release progress: Use the feed to follow a release from upload through testing to completion. Every status change and comment is captured in one place.
  • Stay in the loop on mentions: Keep an eye on the feed for @mentions directed at you. This is how teammates flag items that need your attention.
  • Use reactions to reduce noise: Instead of writing "looks good" or "got it," drop a quick emoji reaction to acknowledge without cluttering the feed.
