Introduction
We’re improving the OneDrive iOS mobile experience to make it easier for users to find and access SharePoint document libraries while on the go. Users will be able to search for libraries by name, browse the updated Libraries view with recent libraries, Teams sites, and Favorite Sites information architecture, use alphabetical sorting, and navigate directly to a site’s default document library (with a breadcrumb to switch between libraries). This update aligns the OneDrive mobile experience more closely with how users access SharePoint document libraries on desktop and web.
When this will happen
- General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out this feature in late June 2026 and expect to complete the rollout by late July 2026.
