What the notice says
Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removedWhat and Why
The SharePoint mobile app for iOS and Android is redesigned around the personalized SharePoint Discover experience, bringing your most relevant files, sites, people, and news together in one place, with improved site browsing, in-app file previews, refreshed news and search, dark mode, and better performance.
Rollout Schedule
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out on mid October 2026 and expect to complete by mid October 2026.
Impact on Your Organization
After this rollout, the SharePoint mobile app on iOS and Android will open to a redesigned home built around the personalized SharePoint Discover experience. Users who update the app will see a new home screen that brings together the files, sites, news, and updates from the people they work with that are most relevant to them, so they can get to what they need without navigating deep into SharePoint. Additionally, the app will reflect SharePoint branding and not that taken from the M365 admin centre.
Users will be able to:
- Browse recent, favorite, and suggested sites with full site and hub navigation, and jump straight into a site's document libraries, lists, and news.
- Preview Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, image, and video files in the app, with the option to open them in the dedicated app.
- Read news in a refreshed reading experience, including a filter for unread posts.
- Search SharePoint from a redesigned search experience and share files using the familiar Microsoft 365 sharing experience.
- Open SharePoint links directly in the app through deep linking, and use the app in dark mode.
Your organization's home site, company news, document libraries, and lists remain available in the app. The Following option is now called Favorites, and news posts are saved for later by adding them to Favorites.
The new experience replaces the current app design, includes performance and reliability improvements, and rolls out to the iOS app first, followed by the Android app.
