Microsoft Office gets a new look on the iPhone
Microsoft has updated its Office apps for the iPhone. There's a new contextual command bar and ribbon layout in the iPhone versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This command bar is accessible from the bottom of the screen or the top of the keyboard when typing. It's now more in line with Microsoft's "Fluent" design" featuring more rounded corners and a slightly-tweaked layout.
As before, the menu has most of the settings you'd find in the ribbon bar on the desktop apps. The switcher also now features a rounded button and some of the horizontal dividers have been taken out. You can swipe up on the menu to make it larger, which will come in handy on the smaller screens of iPhones. These changes come as Microsoft plans to rebrand the mobile Office app to Microsoft 365, complete with a new logo.
