Title: Users may be unable to sign in to OneNote using iOS devices User impact: Users may be unable to sign in to OneNote using iOS devices. More info: Impact is specific to users with OneNote build 16.112.717.0 or higher. Whilst we work on remediation, impacted users may be able to utilize OneNote on the web or remove Authenticator so that authentication falls back to the in-app webview. Users may also be able to sign in to any other Microsoft 365 apps first (e.g. PowerPoint), then attempt to sign in again in OneNote. Current status: We've completed the validation of our fix in our internal testing environment and are preparing it for deployment, which should complete by our next scheduled update. Additionally, we've received confirmation from a subset of users who reported the issue that the fix resolves impact. Scope of impact: Any user attempting to sign in to OneNote build 16.112.717.0 or higher using iOS devices is impacted. This information may be updated as our investigation continues. Start time: Monday, July 20, 2026, at 4:36 AM UTC Root cause: A code change included in OneNote builds 16.112.717.0 and above, designed to change how authentication requests are routed, introduced an issue with OneNote iOS Authenticator broker sign-in and is causing impact.
