Shipped to First Release: Discovering the SharePoint mobile apps

Today, we shipped the first of many features to help people get even more out of SharePoint by finding and downloading the SharePoint mobile apps! Your SharePoint Home experience will now feature a “Get the mobile app” button at the bottom of the page. Selecting the button will open a new tab with information about the apps across iOS, Android, and the Windows 10 platforms. Coming soon, users will also be able to email or use sms to send themselves an app invite.

 

The SharePoint mobile apps work with SharePoint Online in Office 365, SharePoint Server (2013 and 2016) on-premises and your hybrid environment. This feature is currently shipped to First Release and will be expanded to the rest of Production in the next few weeks.

We’re eager to hear your feedback and use it to continuously provide the best SharePoint Home experience. Send us inputs via comments in this thread, posts and votes to SharePoint UserVoice, or through the feedback option on SharePoint Home itself.

  • On the subject of the SharePoint apps, the new app-to-app integration with Yammer is great. Can we expect something similar for Teams?

      Definitely thinking going on around that space. Not sure on the timing or the specific features... but stay tuned :-)

    Hi, we have multiple customers with On-Premise installation of SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 with ADFS.

     

    We are not able to use the SharePoint mobile apps to connect to these installations. Is it right that you do not support SharePoint installations with ADFS and the SharePoint mobile app or the OneDrive App ?

      Hi Dominik... that's correct, we currently don't support ADFS for on-prem 2013/2016

      Thanks

        Microsoft recommends using ADFS for SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 and the mobile Apps will not work.

         

        Is it on your schedule to support ADFS with your mobile Apps in the future ?

  • I am not finding "Get my mob apps" options.

     

    Could you please post some screen shot of it?

     

    Thanks,

    Gopi

      The blue button at the bottom-right of SharePoint Home in the screenshot above is the intended experience Gopi. We have only shipped it to First Release tenants as of now and will be expanding in the next few days.

    How will this integrate with Intune MAM policies?
    Will these actions show up in the security center audit logs?

      Hi Dean.  Right now the feature isn't integrated with MAM policies.  For the audit logs, those actions aren't included.  Are there specific things you'd like to see in the logs?  Vidya Srinivasan

        Data such as App installation, app activity, update/version information, and device type could be valuable.

      Also can you fix the mobile apps so they can see document libraries for sites created from a template can actually be found. I.e. item objects with id's starting 8000. As the mobile apps are pretty useless to us as user cannot see their content.

      This also goes for the web copy to functionality. None of our site libraries except default out of the box ones can be found.

      Third party apps appear to have no problem with finding these. So it must be possible.

      Thanks

        Hi Philip.. can you provide a bit more info about the issues you are seeing?  The steps you take to reproduce the issue, plus screenshots would be great.

         

        Thanks!
