If you’re using a Windows Phone and your Microsoft 365 subscription includes SharePoint, you can use your phone to view sites, such as team sites, in SharePoint. You can also view files that are in your OneDrive library. This makes it easy to view information on sites, collaborate with colleagues, access shared documents, and stay connected with your work.

Recent improvements to SharePoint have made SharePoint even more touch friendly than before. For more details, see SharePoint Online introduces the Touch Design mobile experience.
