Assessment Reasoning
Rollout is in progress with updated dates, and the feature is enabled by default. Admin effort is limited to awareness and communication, as no configuration changes are required. Users on iOS will see a noticeable experience improvement through pinned resources and related community suggestions, but no major workflow disruption. Urgency is moderate due to active rollout and the need to inform users and update support documentation.

📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement

(Updated) Viva Engage: Pinned resources and related communities in Teams for iOS
Message ID: MC1268933 (Updated)

Updated August 28, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

We’re improving the Viva Engage experience in Microsoft Teams for iOS by bringing pinned resources and related communities into the Teams mobile app. Pinned resources highlight important links and files within a community, while related communities help users discover other relevant Viva Engage communities. These are two separate features that work together to improve information access and community discovery.

This update aligns the iOS experience with Engage on the web, the Engage mobile app, and Teams for Android, helping users discover important content and related communities more easily—especially those who rely on Teams on iOS as their primary communication tool.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 559107.

[When this will happen:]
