Since SharePoint had an update, the left hand home button on the app no longer works. Currently I can go to the right hand menu and open it in the browser but then the site is a bit more fiddly.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I'm going to start calling it the 'hamburger' button!

    We have found you can drag the menu over from the left but this can also take you back to the previous page on some phones.

    I can't take credit for the term - our previous Director of IT coined the name lol.
    Thanks for the info. Something must have been updated on either the Sharepoint 365 or the app side and broken this button.

    Hello,

    On the SharePoint app there was a 'Home' button in the left hand corner which used to open up a menu but this button no longer works. You can sometimes drag the menu over from the left but this action can also take you back to the last page you were on, so it's very fiddly and frustrating. The other option now is to go into the right hand corner and open it in a browser, but the browser version on a phone is not ideal.

    We have this same issue in our organization as well. The "Hamburger" button at the top left is unresponsive and does nothing when pressing.

    This seems to only happen in the Android Sharepoint app.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Would you mind elaborating "the home button not working"? Or you may provide some screenshots to us so we can have a try to see if we can repro?

    Best regards,
