We are also having the same problem.
But, Microsoft says the Sharepoint status is normal.
I hope the problem will be resolved soon.

Dear All,

Unfortunately as many of us had anticipated this issue is not a bug but a new update made by Microsoft, after one month of going back and forth with the Microsoft support team I have finally received the conclusion to all my "work", below you can find the email from them:

 

"

Thanks a lot for your patience on the issue.

 

After checking with the tech advisor team, we'd like to inform you about a recent update to Microsoft SharePoint Lists that may have affected your experience.

 

Issue: You may have noticed that when opening a SharePoint list, it appears similar to how lists are displayed in Microsoft Lists. Specifically, the list opens in SharePoint but has the following characteristics:

  • It resembles a Microsoft List with the small list icon.
  • Views are displayed in a tabular form, positioned horizontally instead of the usual vertically grouped format in SharePoint.

 

Reason: This change is due to an update for Microsoft SharePoint Lists aimed at enhancing performance and introducing new features such as ratings, direct image uploads, real-time collaboration visibility, and view switching. The rollout of this update began in February 2024 and is expected to be completed by June 2024. For further details, you can refer to the official announcement https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?#/MessageCenter/:/messages/MC709979.

 

Impact: These improvements are designed to enhance the overall performance of Lists in Microsoft SharePoint and bring additional features. As a result, users in affected tenants will notice these updates when browsing lists in SharePoint sites, the Lists progressive web app (PWA), and Lists in Teams.

 

Unfortunately, this new feature update cannot be rolled back. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience or confusion, and we seek your kind understanding during this transition.

 

If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

 

Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sooner of later the Power App workaround will also be "implemented" in this update.

Good luck to everyone in the search of a workaround.

 

Wish you all the best!
