Body (from Message Center)

[Introduction]

We're improving the Viva Engage experience in Microsoft Teams for iOS by bringing pinned resources and related communities into the Teams mobile app. Pinned resources highlight important links and files within a community, while related communities help users discover other relevant Viva Engage communities. These are two separate features that work together to improve information access and community discovery.

This update aligns the iOS experience with Engage on the web, the Engage mobile app, and Teams for Android, helping users discover important content and related communities more easily—especially those who rely on Teams on iOS as their primary communication tool.
