Lightning Experience for Salesforce Mobile App

Give Users Access to New Salesforce Mobile App for a Seamless Experience Across Desktop & Mobile

New Salesforce Mobile App

Lightning Experience for Salesforce Mobile App was rolled out with Winter ’20 release. This feature is one of the gems of the latest release.

Earlier, Salesforce Mobile App user experience was slightly different than the desktop version. Notable differences were:

  • There was no ‘App Launcher’ to switch between the Apps
  • The Object Tabs were not segregated as per the App which they belonged to 

Now with this upgrade, you get exactly the same experience how you would get when working from your laptop or computer. This gives users a seamless experience across devices and boosts productivity.
