Updated February 25, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
In the Tasks by Planner and To Do app in Microsoft Teams, buckets are a common way to organize tasks into different areas of work.
The mobile experience for the Tasks app in Teams will soon be updated to make it easier to filter to a specific bucket or set of buckets so that you can focus on the tasks in your area. We expect this simple user experience change to provide greater focus and greater productivity, while maintaining the familiar look and feel throughout the Tasks app.
Note: This change is specific to the Tasks by Planner and To Do app in Teams mobile.
