May 31, 2026 by Avni Team

The Avni May releases (v16.13.0 through v16.14.0) bring powerful new capabilities to the platform. Here's what's new.

Share completed forms instantly

share feature

Share forms with one tap

Field workers can now share completed forms directly from their device — no more re-entering information. Forms can be sent as PDF or WhatsApp messages, making handoffs instant and effortless.

Administrators can set up automatic sharing so forms are sent the moment they're saved, completely removing the manual step.

Faster lookups in common-name communities
