Hi @Sendi Dika Prasenda

Thank you for posting question to Microsoft Q&A.

Based on your description, I understand that you relied heavily on the barcode and QR code scanner feature within the native Microsoft Lists mobile app for your workflow. Now that the app is being retired, you are concerned about losing this essential functionality and need to know if the barcode scanner is still available in the new mobile web experience.

To answer your question directly, at this time, the barcode scanning feature is not a built-in function of the Microsoft Lists mobile web experience or Progressive Web App (PWA).

I understand that this is frustrating news, as the removal of such a helpful feature can disrupt your daily tasks. When a feature you depend on is no longer available, it can be a significant inconvenience.

Following the official retirement of the mobile app, any announcements from Microsoft regarding the maintenance or replacement of this feature in the web version will be communicated to users as soon as possible through their official channels.

Furthermore, I will ensure this specific feedback is formally submitted to the Microsoft Lists development team. Highlighting the need for essential tools like the barcode scanner is crucial for them to understand the real-world impact on users like you. Your input helps them prioritize features that make the platform more convenient and powerful for everyone migrating from the native app.
