We are excited to announce support for your communication sites this week on the SharePoint mobile apps for iOS (version 3.0, released to the store) and Android (version 2.0, released to public beta, general availability in August)! The broad-reach communication sites that you can create in seconds on the Web, are mobile-friendly out of the box. When you publish a site, page or news post, you can be confident that your content reaches your audience wherever they are, no matter what device they are on. Your communication site looks great on the web, on PC and Mac, on mobile browsers, and in your SharePoint mobile apps. Tap on links within your site to seamlessly enjoy native experiences, where available. The result is a vibrant, interactive, dynamic experience for your site visitors.
We are eager for you to give it a try and do let us know how it works for you. Tell us how we can make this feature better and more useful moving forward.
Note: Communication sites are rolling out gradually to all organizations. If you can’t create one yet, the update hasn't rolled out to your organization yet. Stay tuned for the update!

The new look Communication sites appeared on my Android device SharePoint app today and I agree, they look great on the small screen.
One possible bug, however - when I click on a document library visible as a link from the 'hamburger' menu on the top left it sends me to the SharePoint portal showing all the sites I follow. It doesn't open the library.
This *might* be because my version of the app is still 1.8; v2.0 hasn't appeared in the Play store.

Version 1.9 for Android is still 'bouncing' SharePoint Communication site document libraries (when you click on them), very briefly via OneDrive, back to the list of sites I follow. This must be a bug as it seems to be trying to ope the library (via OneDrive) but is failing. As a result, currently I cannot open any document library in a Communication site.

I have overlooked your reply. Yes, when I click document library it shows option to sync or open in One Drive.

IT seems like it has something to do with maybe the fact this is a communication site and not a team site. The team sites seem to open in Sharepoint. Is this just a bug?

We were really looking forward to using the Community Site Feature but I am unable to activate it. I was told that Communication Sites were no longer going to be supported. Including the Community Site Feature, is this correct? I looking for options.
