Humand introduces exact timestamps on posts and comments, giving every message greater context, transparency, and traceability across the platform.
Bringing Precision to Every Post
In dynamic digital workplaces, timing matters. A post shared in the morning isn’t the same as one published late at night—and for teams managing fast communication flows, knowing when something was posted helps keep context clear and decisions agile.
Until now, the Feed and Groups in Humand only showed relative time indicators such as “2 hours ago.” With this update, posts and comments will now display the exact date and time they were published.
This enhancement brings greater visibility to communication history, improving how teams manage information across channels, time zones, and projects.
What’s New
Humand’s timestamp enhancement provides more accurate post information and improves the reading experience on both web and mobile.
Here’s what’s changing:
- Exact date and time on posts and comments: Every publication now displays when it was created.
- Smart display logic:
- Within the first hour → still shows “xx minutes ago.”
- Within 24 hours → still shows “xx hours ago.”
- After 24 hours → shows the exact date and time (e.g., August 29 at 3:45 PM).
- Localized formatting: Automatically adapts to each user’s language and regional date format.
- Applies across Feed and Groups: Works for posts, comments, and replies.
This update was one of the most requested improvements by Humand clients and represents an important step toward better information clarity and communication traceability.
Why It Matters
Precision in internal communication creates trust and accountability.
By showing when posts and comments were made, organizations gain:
- Greater transparency: Everyone can see exactly when updates were shared.
- Improved context: Time-sensitive messages and discussions become easier to follow.
- Enhanced coordination: Helps distributed or global teams understand post timing across time zones.
- Increased traceability: Provides a clearer record of communication and decision-making moments.
- Better alignment: Supports faster, more informed collaboration across departments.
In short, timestamps make information not only visible but reliable—a key component in strengthening internal communication culture.
Practical Use Cases
See how this update can improve daily workflows and digital communication:
- “When was that policy update posted?” → Check the exact date and time directly in the post, no need to guess.
- “We manage communication across different time zones.” → Timestamps help localize context and reduce misunderstandings.
- “We need auditability for key announcements.” → The visible timestamp ensures transparency for compliance and reporting.
- “Our teams rely on real-time responses.” → Identify exactly when messages were shared and replied to.
- “We want more clarity in discussions.” → Context becomes clearer, helping teams connect messages to moments.
The exact date and time display is now live across Humand’s Feed and Groups on web and mobile.
