What’s new in 25.9.0

Enhanced troubleshooting with Citrix Troubleshoot Connection

Previously, resolving virtual app or desktop launch issues has traditionally required IT support. With the enhanced Citrix Troubleshoot Connection feature, through a revamped UI, Citrix Workspace app enables users to self-remediate and fix launch issues by providing clear error messages and step-by-step recommendations. User’s will see the detailed error and a button to fix issue. You can resolve common problems, such as network issues or unavailable resources, with one-click recovery actions. This reduces your need for IT support and helps you get back to work faster. For more information, see Citrix Troubleshoot Connection

Support for landscape mode on iPhone

The feature also includes landscape mode support on iPhone for a better troubleshooting experience on your device. This setting allows you to select the orientation of the app for optimal viewing of desktop content and data-intensive screen. With version 2509, the default orientation is automatic rotation.

Enhanced desktop launch experience

Starting with version 2509, Citrix Workspace app for iOS ensures an enhanced desktop launch experience. Users experience a seamless, flicker-free transition to the desktop without intermediate screens. The app also eliminates black screens and flickering when resizing or stretching, providing a stable and modern interface. This feature is enabled by default.

Improved Caps Lock synchronization for external keyboards

Starting with version 2509, Citrix Workspace app for iOS improves the handling of Caps Lock synchronization when you use external keyboards. The app ensures that the Caps Lock state remains consistent between the iOS client and the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA), providing seamless typing behavior for you. Switching between local iOS apps and Citrix sessions no longer causes mismatched uppercase or lowercase input.

Audio Device and Volume Sync Improvements

We’ve enhanced how audio devices and volume are managed in your virtual sessions:

Improved Audio Device Sync: Only your currently selected system audio device is now mapped to the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA), preventing unnecessary device mapping. The device’s actual name is preserved, making it easier to identify within your session.

Enhanced Audio Volume Sync: Speaker volume now syncs one-way from your system to the VDA. Also, you can now adjust microphone gain directly within the VDA, and Citrix Workspace app saves this setting for use in future sessions.

Deprecation notifications of legacy features

Starting with version 26.3.0, Citrix Workspace app for iOS no longer supports the following legacy features. Support is discontinued for the following features:

• Citrix X1 Mouse
• Citrix Casting
