- View-only screen sharing is available for LG and all other Android devices
Desktop Apps (v11.9.16, b1402) – March 12, 2022

Data Replicator (v11.2.200) - February 12, 2021
- Fixed an issue in which the Data Replicator failed to download data due to a missing component in all versions that were v11.9.5, build 1280 or later. This issue is now resolved, and all builds of the Data Replicator are now functioning properly.
Desktop Apps (v11.9.14, b1393) - December 14, 2020
- External Specialists Can Share Their Screens – External specialists (i.e., users that do not have a HelpAlert seat) now have the ability to share their own screens when they join another representative's support session. Previously, external specialists were only able to view the shared screen of the inviting representative and/or customer. This feature is enabled by default for all accounts. To disable this feature, please contact your assigned GoTo account representative, or contact Customer Care for further assistance.
- Fixed an issue in which the customer was prompted to enter administrator credentials to upgrade their support session to run as a service while the GoToAssist Corporate Customer Application for Pre-Installation package was already installed.
- Known issue: Using the GoToAssist Corporate Customer Standalone Application on macOS Big Sur (v11.0) – Customers using this application to join a support session may encounter issues if both of the following conditions are true:
- The version & build number of the GoToAssist Corporate Customer Standalone Application is different than the hosting representative's HelpAlert version (e.g., HelpAlert is running build 1393 but the Customer Standalone build is running build 1380).
- The customer's Mac is already running macOS Big Sur (11.0)
- As a workaround, we recommend that the customer remove the existing version of the GoToAssist Corporate Customer Standalone Application and install the latest version (v11.9.14, b1393) which will need to be provided by the representative.
