Question

Greetings,

I have just developed a new SharePoint site however I would like guidance on how I would go about ensuring that Mobile users of the site have a positive experience as well. Will sites automatically format to the mobile screens or do additional steps need to be taken on my end?

Hi @Tevon2.0

Using a mobile device you can choose between two kinds of views—mobile view and pc view—for some kinds of SharePoint sites and a OneDrive for work or school library. In PC view, users see navigation links across the top of the page. In mobile view, users see the site formatted to display nicely on their device.

To try out mobile view on a device, use the following procedure:

1. Open a SharePoint site on the device.
2. In the upper right corner of the site, tap Settings, and then tap Site settings.
3. Under Site Actions, tap Manage site features.
4. Set the Mobile Browser View to Active. (The default setting is Active.)

To switch back to mobile view, tap Settings, and then tap Mobile view.

Some sites are configured automatically to offer people the mobile view option. For other sites, you must activate the Mobile Browser View feature.

For more details, you could refer to:
