Accessing and using Microsoft Teams on smartphones and tablets across platforms
Dear @Alan Bingham,
Good day, and I appreciate the detailed explanation of your concern. As a forum moderator, I genuinely wish I could directly access your account or delve into the backend systems to diagnose and fix this for you. However, our role here is limited to providing general guidance and solutions that can be applied by users. From my research, this problem is very common right now on the S25 Ultra after the April 2026 Samsung security patch. It affects Teams, Outlook, Authenticator, and other Microsoft 365 apps for many users.
Note: The exact menu names or locations may vary slightly depending on your Android and UI version.
Please follow these steps to see if it helps:
1.Update Android System WebView
In many cases, the root cause is a conflict involving Android System WebView after the Samsung update. Please refer to the guidance provided by the Q&A Assist and ensure WebView is fully up to date, then restart your device.
2.Clear Teams data
- Go to Settings > Apps > Teams.
- Tap Storage > Clear cache > then Clear data / Clear storage.
- Force stop the app.
- Restart your phone, then open Teams and try signing in.
3.Switch network during login
Several users report the login gets stuck on Wi-Fi but works on mobile data:
- Turn Wi-Fi off and use mobile data (4G/5G).
- Try signing into Teams.
- Once logged in, you can turn Wi-Fi back on.
4.Full clean reinstall (after the WebView fix)
- Uninstall Teams.
- Restart phone.
- Install Teams again from the Play Store.
- Sign in using mobile data first.
As a temporary workaround, you can try using Teams in a browser if you need to communicate urgently. Open Chrome and go to teams.microsoft.com. Then select the three dots in the top‑right corner of the browser and choose Open in desktop mode.
This may help in urgent situations; however, please note that Microsoft Teams is not officially supported in mobile browsers, and this is not a supported experience.
I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments so I can continue to support you. I'm looking forward to your reply.
