On January 16, 2015, DingTalk launched the testing version 1.1.0.

On May 26, 2015, V2.0 was released, adding Ding Mail, Smart OA and shared storage.[3]

On September 19, 2016, V3.0 was released, focusing on B2B communication and collaboration.[4]

On January 15, 2018, DingTalk launched the English version of its application in Malaysia, its first market outside of China (although it can be downloaded and used in other markets such as India, US, etc.). At the same time, DingTalk noted that in November 2017 it had launched hardware devices such as the “smart receptionist” that enables employee check-in by fingerprint or facial recognition.[5]

During the 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, the app was the target of rating spam after it was used to send homework to quarantined school children.[6]
