Microsoft PowerPoint for iOS has a new portrait mode

The increased demand for portrait mode content has been spurred by the popularity of TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. As people have grown accustomed to consuming content in their phone’s native vertical orientation, tools optimized for content creation in portrait mode need to follow suit.

Microsoft acknowledged this “shift to creating mobile-first content” alongside its announcement. Now, Office Insiders using PowerPoint Mobile on iOS can toggle portrait mode on and off when creating and editing slides.

Microsoft Powerpoint’s new portrait mode is limited to Apple devices at this time, so hold on Android users.
