The Xbox app updated earlier today for both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. This latest update brings the app to Version 2011.1117.2133 on Android and Version 2011.1117.2218 on iOS and adds the ability to upload a custom gamerpic avatar from a device’s photo library and create group chats via the Chats tab.

Here’s the full release notes:

New stuff!

  • Custom gamerpics are here — Set your gamerpic with images from your phone or choose from the Xbox library, directly from the app!
  • Chat improvements — Message requests are now supported. You can also create group chats by selecting multiple friends when starting a new conversation.
  • View your games — View and manage all your games remotely, including the full Game Pass catalog.

The Xbox app allows gamers to manage their Xbox video game library, control their Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles, and communicate with friends from their tablet and smartphone. A Windows 10 Xbox app is also available and all three versions received a rather significant design revamp recently that modernized the experience for the launch of the newer Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
