SharePoint will be permanently disabled no later than June 2, 2017; most sites should have migrated to SharePoint Online by March 31, 2017. Sites scheduled to be disabled on March 31 were disabled on April 3, 2017.

Web browser support

Microsoft supports Safari on iOS 4.0 and later, with limitations noted below.

Edit in browser

iOS 5 is required for in-browser editing of SharePoint documents in Safari. In earlier versions of iOS, Safari does not support the contenteditable attribute, and thus cannot support in-browser editing.

Internet plug-ins

Internet plug-ins (e.g., Flash and Silverlight) are not supported in Safari for iOS, so content that relies on them cannot be displayed.

SharePoint iOS apps

Two popular SharePoint apps for devices running iOS are Filamente and SharePlus, but these apps are limited in their functionality (see the Filamente and SharePlus feature comparison pages).

Editing

Filamente and SharePlus are useful for viewing your SharePoint documents, but they don't allow you to edit documents directly. To edit your documents, use a separate editor app, such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote by Apple, Docs, Sheets, and Slides by Google, DataViz Documents To Go, or Branchfire iAnnotate.

Purchasing

For information on purchasing iOS apps, see Purchasing Apps & Books.
