Better Together
summary
Monzo claims cross‑disciplinary squads and tool unification cut platform drift and make both apps closer to feature parity. They move Android and iOS CI to CircleCI migration, consolidate Android and iOS Slack into a combined mobile channel with semantic emoji conventions and a mobile PR feed, and adopt Firebase unified analytics plus Stack Overflow for Teams. Weekly coordinated releases and a small mobile platform team automate shared scripts and CI checks, and the result is tighter feedback loops and fewer parity regressions.
