I've got several Featured links defined in my SharePoint Home for testing purposes but only one of them shows up in my iOS SharePoint app. (see images) Are there any requirements to the link URLs to get them to show up in the app?

Hi Deleted / Kevin_Hoyt... the response we are getting, at least from Kevin, looks like there are specific links that are marked as "don't show on mobile", so that's why somre are not showing up in the app. We'll look at this further, but the user experience that allows you to mark links as "don't show on mobile" should be rolled out to you soon (looking like next week). Once rolled out, can you try to mark the links as available on mobile? If you run into issues, let me know on this. Thanks for your help!

Hi Nate Clinton, I have checked today and the option to hide the link from the mobile app is now available. A couple of the links did have it set and removing the check mark does make them available in the mobile app where they were not before. I also tested by re-checking the option and refreshing the mobile app and the link disappeared as expected. Looks like this is working now, thanks!

In the Android Preview App this feature is working well

Hi Kevin_Hoyt... there shouldn't be any special requirements. I.e. what you see in SP Home should be the same as what you are seeing in the app. Is this something you are still seeing?

Hi Nate Clinton, yes, it is still happening. I can add a new link and recreate a link that works (as a duplicate, for example) and it will show up right away in the app. If I delete it then it will disappear right away in the app. But not all the links show up in the app for some reason.

Hi

This is also happening on my tenant. 6 links on SharePoint Home and 4 links in iOS app.

Anyone know who we can report this to?

Thanks

  Hi folks... I believe this may be due to a new feature that lets the creator/editor of the links on SP Home "turn them off" for mobile. I.e. when you create a link, you can mark it as not for mobile. So what you see in the app may not mirror what's in SP Home in those instances. The Android app may not yet have this turned on in the client, which is why you may still see them all on Android. Can you take a look at the links (if you have edit capabilities) to see if they've been configured in that way? Thanks (and sorry for the confusion).

    Hi Nate, where is that setting for the links on the SP Home page? All I see in the Edit link are fields for "Text to display" and "Address". Nothing for whether it is marked for mobile or not.

My iOS app works perfectly.. I even added one featured linked during using the app and refreshed the app "links" view -> new item showed up.

  Thanks Anna-Maria Kähkönen, the tenant that is not working for me is an MSDN test tenant, I've tried a couple of the links in my production tenant and they appear to be working as well and show up immediately just as you indicated. It looks like it is just that developer tenant that is not working for me.
