Recent View now includes PDFs and scans
Quickly find the files that matter the most to you. OneDrive for Microsoft 365 makes it simple to get to your recent files easily across the web, mobile, and Office.
We have improved the “Recent files” experience on the iOS and Android apps, making it consistent with the experience you see on OneDrive for the Web and Office endpoints. Uploaded scans and recently viewed PDFs are now automatically surfaced at the top of the “Recent” list.
New file-picking experience in Outlook for iOS

Teraz, when you share a file, you will be able to navigate and browse through a consistent and familiar “Recent” list of files, files, and folders in your OneDrive, email attachments, as well as frequently accessed and followed shared libraries.
These files can now be shared quickly and securely with sharing links that comply with your organization’s sharing permissions.
Updated experience for PDF annotation
Accomplishing tasks on your phone is easy and fast with OneDrive including annotating a PDF file to highlight items or add notes. The updated PDF editing experience for OneDrive on iOS is designed around quick actions that lead to a truly mobile-first markup experience.

These changes, too, will be coming soon for OneDrive on Android.
