#2. Extended access to team site landing page

The landing page of your group connected team site comes with content, webparts, layout choices now like any other page or news when viewed from smaller devices. You can now access activities, files, news and lists right from the latest team site navigation menu. You can also feel the consistency between mobile and web interface. It’s more like the content and information is easily available on your finger tips to work with.

The latest SharePoint Team Site shows the Planner tasks, news and other features same as how it appears on the web.

#3. Notifications due to activities in news articles

Users can receive notifications on mobile device for the discussions that follows in the comments of the posts. Being a news author, you can receive SharePoint mobile push notifications when there is an activity on your page. Don’t worry if you're overloaded with these notifications. If you get fed up with these alerts, simply turn off the comment notifications for your mobile device.

#4. Good news for android users – New tab layout for SharePoint app

I admit that it was a pain to move around the SharePoint app earlier. No worries, Microsoft has come up with the new tab layout. You can find all the personalized sites, people, news, links and Me tabs at the footer of the screen.
