Updated UX in Viva Connections on Teams mobile [MC1262585]

Message ID: MC1262585

[Introduction]

We’re updating the Viva Connections experience in the Microsoft Teams mobile app to provide a more modern, streamlined navigation that is easier to use across all devices. This update simplifies how users move between sections and improves discoverability, while keeping all existing functionality intact.

[When this will happen:]

  • General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in early April 2026 and is expected to complete by late April 2026.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

  • All users who access Viva Connections in the Microsoft Teams mobile app (iOS and Android).

What will happen:

  • The Teams mobile Viva Connections experience will move from a three-tab layout (Dashboard, News, Resources) to a pill-based navigation model.
  • Users will switch between Viva Connections sections using pill-shaped navigation controls at the top of the experience.
  • In the News experience:
    • The Unread and Saved for later pills will be replaced with:
      • An Unread toggle
      • A Saved for later button
  • There is no change to functionality or content—only the navigation and layout are updated.
  • The update is enabled by default and applies automatically.

[What you can do to prepare:]

  • No action is required to enable this update.
  • Optionally, inform helpdesk staff and update internal documentation that references the previous navigation.

[Compliance considerations:]

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
