Improved reconnection experience for mobile VDI users - Technical Preview

Enhanced features

The following are the improved features:

• Clear reconnection status across mobile platforms: Citrix Workspace app for Android clearly displays when it attempts to reconnect to a disconnected session. Users need not switch apps or minimize the screen to trigger or view reconnection status. The app handles all reconnection activities transparently within the application.

• Improved session control for Android: Users can cancel or close a VDI session directly. This feature provides greater flexibility and control when reconnection attempts are unnecessary or unexpected.

• Informative error messaging: When a session disconnects, the app displays meaningful and actionable messages instead of generic alerts.

The app provides specific information for these scenarios:

• Network connection interruptions
• Server communication failures
• Idle session timeouts
• Session disconnections during device lock and unlock events

These messages help users understand what occurred and identify necessary next steps.

Benefits

These enhancements provide the following improvements:

• Reduce uncertainty during unexpected disconnections
• Improve transparency through real-time status updates
• Minimize frustration during mobile VDI usage
• Build confidence in connection stability and recovery

Together, these enhancements provide a smoother, more intuitive experience — especially for users working on the go.

Single sign-on for Microsoft Entra ID enabled VM

This feature is in technical preview from 24.5.0 release.

Citrix Workspace app for Android supports users signing in to Azure AD-joined VM devices using single sign-on authentication. For the first launch of Azure AD-joined virtual machines (VMs) in Citrix Workspace app, users are prompted to enter Azure account credentials for authentication. The subsequent VDA sign-ins happen automatically without prompting for credentials until the authentication token expires.

Notes:

• This feature is applicable only for Azure AD joined cloud stores.
• By, default, this feature is disabled. This feature is a request-only preview. To get it enabled in your environment, fill out the Google form.
• You can provide feedback for this technical preview by using the Google form.

Audio redirection with external microphones

This feature is in technical preview from 24.5.0 release.

Previously, you could use only one audio device in the session. Starting with the 24.5.0 version, Citrix Workspace app for Android displays all available local audio devices in a session with their names. In addition, plug-and-play audio devices are also supported.

Notes:

• By, default, this feature is disabled. This feature is a request-only preview. To get it enabled in your environment, fill out the Google form.
• You can provide feedback for this technical preview by using the Google form.

Support for an enhanced Single sign-on (SSO) experience for web and SaaS apps

This feature is in technical preview from 22.3.5 release.

This feature simplifies the configuration of SSO for internal web apps and SaaS apps while using third-party identity providers (IdPs).

The enhanced SSO experience reduces the entire process to a few commands. It eliminates the mandatory prerequisite to configure Citrix Secure Private Access in the IdP chain to set up SSO. It also improves the user experience, provided the same IdP is used for authentication to both the Workspace app and the particular web or SaaS app being launched.
