New Windows iOS/Android App?

Question

I'm curious what this app is all about and how you're supposed to set it up...

I have several M365 business seats that I manage, and I am wondering if this would be any better for the end-user.

How is this different than just downloading the apps (Outlook, Teams, whatever) on the device like normal?

How do I actually enable it for my users?

Hello,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community forum.

Here are some explanations for your question:

Microsoft 365 for Business is a comprehensive set of productivity tools designed to help businesses manage their operations more effectively. It includes familiar apps like Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and offers additional features like collaboration, security, and device management.

Microsoft 365 has advantages over individual app downloads:

1. Integrated experience:

Microsoft 365 provides a seamless integration experience across all applications and services. This means better collaboration and communication within your team.

2. Centralized management:

As an administrator, you can manage all users, applications, and services from a single administrative center. This includes setting up new users, assigning licenses, and managing security Settings.

3. Enhanced security:

Microsoft 365 includes advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication, data loss protection, and threat protection, which are not available when the application is downloaded separately.

4. Regular updates:

Users always have access to the latest features and security updates without having to manually update each app.

I hope this helps.

Best regards
