Copilot Weekly Status Report Causes Teams Mobile App to Freeze

Hi @Schyler Jones, 

Thank you for providing such a detailed overview of the situation. 

Based on your description, the issue appears specifically linked to the recurring Channel Agent or Copilot weekly status reports rather than general channel activity. As these reports are shared as Loop components and the feature is currently in Public Preview, the rendering logic is still being optimized. Consequently, disabling the scheduled generation is a prudent and effective workaround to maintain service continuity for your mobile users. 

The recurring nature of the freeze and the fact that it is cleared only by a new post from a desktop client strongly suggests that the Teams iOS client is encountering a rendering exception when attempting to load the channel’s most recent state. 

To ensure a fix, I recommend reaching out to open a support ticket with Microsoft agent support, for detailed instructions on how to get support, please refer to Get support - Microsoft 365 admin.  

Please include the following technical specifications to assist their engineering team: 

• Specific iPhone/iPad models and iOS versions. 
• The current build of the Teams mobile application. 
• The exact timestamp of the status report and the specific Team/Channel name. 
• Confirmation that desktop posts successfully restore mobile access. 

A live support agent provides personalized troubleshooting for complex technical discrepancies that automated tools cannot resolve. Engaging with an agent ensures your specific environment is analyzed, allowing for the identification of potential issues and the implementation of precise, long-term solutions.

If you find this answer helpful, please mark it as accepted so other users facing the same issue know that raising a support ticket is recommended, helping the engineering team recognize the impact and prioritize a fix.

Thank you for your contribution and should you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.

This behavior aligns with how Channel Agent status reports currently work and with known limitations in Teams mobile.

Channel Agent generates status reports as Loop files and posts them directly in the channel. These reports are created from:

1. Messages in the channel where the agent is created.
2. Meeting summaries of meetings the agent was added to.

Status reports are shared in the channel so all members can review, edit, and collaborate. Recurring reports are auto-configured and posted on a schedule. These can be turned off in the agent’s Status Report settings by disabling Schedule Status Report.

In this case, turning off the Weekly Status Report generation is the correct mitigation, since it prevents the problematic recurring posts from being created and posted to the channel.

If the issue persists even after disabling the schedule, or if it recurs when status reports are re-enabled, the next step is to collect details (device type, Teams mobile version, time of last Channel Agent status report post, and whether the channel is autofavorited) and open a support ticket so Microsoft can investigate the bug in the Teams mobile client.
