Microsoft Teams Notification Nag Screen Interrupts Users Repeatedly

After a recent Teams update, users must complete a full login plus 2FA verification every time the app is opened, even within minutes of the previous session. The session persistence mechanism broke in the update, creating repetitive authentication friction for mobile users.
Microsoft Teams Notifications Stop Working After App Upgrade
A Teams upgrade caused push notifications to stop firing until the user manually opens the app. A single-source complaint with no technical detail.
Update Wait Screen Blocks App on Every Launch
Opening the app reliably presents a wait-for-update message before anything is usable. Answering a single message becomes a multi-step delay. The behaviour recurs on every launch rather than only after an actual update lands.
