As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver exceptional user experiences, we're excited to announce a series of upcoming changes to the user interface and overall experience of our Microsoft Defender for Endpoint mobile app.
The new enhancements are designed to improve usability, streamline navigation, and ensure our app meets the evolving needs of our users.
In this release, we've made it easier for users to share feedback, including logs, to the Microsoft Defender team. The changes include:
- A new bottom pane that makes it easier for users to share feedback and logs
- A new Send logs to Microsoft option that enables users to quickly send logs to Microsoft
When users select Help and Feedback in the left navigation pane (Screen 1, accessible by tapping the profile picture), a new bottom feedback pane opens (Screen 2). This pane has been updated to improve readability and make it easier for users to share feedback.
The Send feedback option in the updated bottom pane enables users to share positive or negative feedback, along with Microsoft Defender and authenticator logs, which will be accessible to the Microsoft Defender team. When a user selects Send feedback, they are redirected to a new screen (Screen 3) where they can include logs along with their feedback submission.

A new Send logs to Microsoft option has been added directly to the left navigation pane. This enables users to quickly send logs to Microsoft. It redirects them to the logs submission page (Screen 2). This option is particularly useful when a support case has been created and a support engineer is assigned, providing a convenient way for users to submit logs. Because this option doesn't allow users to include written feedback, the Defender team will not have access to the logs unless an incident ID is explicitly shared via mail or support request. This option collects logs from both the Defender and Authenticator apps.
