With the rise of platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, along with the vertical content consumption habit on mobile devices, Microsoft is compelled to align with this trend.
Microsoft PowerPoint for iOS Adds Vertical Presentation Mode for Users
In its latest announcement, the software giant acknowledges its recent changes to prioritize creative content creation on mobile devices. Now, Office Insider users using PowerPoint Mobile for iOS can activate and deactivate vertical mode when creating and editing slides.
However, the new vertical mode in PowerPoint is currently in the testing phase and is only available in the public beta. Office Insider users can update to version 2.68 (build 22112003) to experience this feature on iOS devices.

On the other hand, users may need some additional time to familiarize themselves with this vertical mode. However, it's evident that Microsoft is actively seeking ways to attract more content creators familiar with TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels.
