Customize the Confluence mobile view

Question

The default Confluence mobile view (in browser, not using app) is of little use to me. The 3 main buttons are "Popular", which is empty since we don't "like" content on our wiki, "Blogs", which we also don't use, and "Network", which is blank and I am not sure what is supposed to be listed there anyway.

We use Confluence to create content in pages in various spaces. Thus, what would be more useful for me would be to replace the above with "All Updates", "Spaces", and perhaps "Recently worked on". Is this possible?

Any news about this matter ?

I have exactly the same problem. We fail to encourage people to use confluence as the mobile view is not suitable for our use and most of them use their smartphones. People cannot find a link to the home page of our space and cannot navigate in the tree structure of the pages.

We don't need the Popular/Blogs/Network buttons and the desktop view is not a great workaround.

Hi Daniel,

Web mobile view is hardcoded. An option would be to disable web mobile view and just default to desktop view:

If you need mobile functionality you can download the App:

Hey Daniel,

I don't believe this is can be customized at this time. I know that there are talks about giving more flexibility to the mobile platforms for both JSD and Confluence, so I'd say keep a look out for their release notes in the future.

I've had way more luck booting up a browser window on mobile and utilizing confluence in that way.
