Webex arrives on the iPhone Duo

Cisco has explained how it adapted Webex, its collaboration and video meeting app, for the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable iPhone. According to 9to5 Mac, the app has supported the device since launch and is already available on the App Store.

Apple has been promoting Webex as a distinctive app for the foldable, and Cisco has now outlined the design work behind it. The company says the app is built natively for the device rather than simply scaled up from the standard iPhone version.

Cisco says Webex adjusts to both displays and every position of the device. With the phone opened, users can see more meeting participants at once, keep shared content in view while talking, or collaborate with others on a whiteboard.

The app also supports multitasking. According to Cisco, users can run Webex alongside another app using Split View, the feature that shows two apps side by side on the wider screen.

Cisco's history with Apple platforms

Cisco describes Apple devices as a priority for its collaboration software. In a statement quoted by 9to5 Mac, the company said it has a long history of partnering with Apple on collaboration experiences, pointing to past support for iPad, CarPlay, Apple TV, Apple Watch and spatial collaboration on Apple Vision Pro.

The company framed the iPhone Duo app as a continuation of that work, saying each new platform has pushed it to rethink how people connect and get work done.

A growing foldable app catalogue

Webex is not alone in being ready for the new device. According to 9to5 Mac, Apple says more than 100,000 apps have already been updated for the iPhone Duo.

For readers considering the foldable for work, the arrival of a major meeting app at launch matters. Video calls and screen sharing are among the tasks where a larger, flexible display can change how an app is used, and Cisco says Webex takes advantage of that in both its meeting view and its multitasking support.
