Find recently used files in the Microsoft 365 app for Android

Hi, Insiders! My name is Sudheender Srinivasan and I’m a Product Manager on the Microsoft 365 mobile app team. I’m excited to share with you an improvement will help you find files that you’ve previously opened in the Microsoft 365 mobile app for Android and use them again.

Find recently used files

We heard from many of you that you wanted to be able to easily access files that you previously opened with the Microsoft 365 app. We’re happy to share that you now can!

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files opened from Microsoft apps and third-party apps such as WhatsApp, Gmail, Outlook and more, are now accessible through the Recent tab. This improvement helps you quickly locate previously opened files without having to browse or launch the source app.
