Microsoft discontinues the Lists mobile apps – impact on SharePoint and Teams

Translate the following text into English:

What’s happening and when

Microsoft has announced that the Microsoft Lists mobile apps for iOS and Android are being retired. Starting in September 2025, it will no longer be possible to install the apps, and in November 2025 they will be removed from the app stores. Existing installations will stop working at that time. The list data itself is not affected and will remain accessible via the web, both on desktop and in a mobile browser.

What this means for SharePoint

Lists is closely integrated with SharePoint. After November 2025, all list work on mobile will take place via the browser, for example by opening lists hosted on SharePoint sites. Certain mobile-centric features such as QR scanning and in-app image editing will disappear, which may impact scenarios like inventory checks or field work. For teams using SharePoint lists for case management, registries, or approval workflows, it would be wise to test the mobile browser experience well in advance and adjust instructions and support materials.

What this means for Microsoft Teams

Lists that are added as tabs in Teams will continue to work, but on mobile the experience will effectively be browser-based. Users may need to get used to items sometimes opening in a web view rather than in a standalone app. If you have processes in Teams that rely on fast barcode scanning or image input, you may need alternative ways of working or third-party solutions.

Recommended actions

Start using the web-based Lists experience on mobile to ensure that views, forms, and rules work as intended. Review critical flows where camera features or offline use have been important and plan any necessary adjustments. IT should update internal documentation and training materials and ensure that links to lists work smoothly in both SharePoint and Teams.
