Concept: Mobile Devices and Features

You can enable Workday mobile apps to make it easier for users to complete many self-service tasks on their mobile phones and tablets. Workday provides mobile apps for:
  • iPad and iPhone devices running iOS 15 or later.
  • Devices running Android 11.0 or later.
You can also use a supported mobile browser to access the Workday web application using this URL pattern:
https://<workdayhost>/<tenantname>/login.htmld

User Preferences

Users can access the Change Preferences task on Workday for Android, iPad, and iPhone, enabling them to change user preferences, including:
  • Preferred currency.
  • Preferred language.
  • Preferred locale.

Tenant and Organization Switching

Users can add, manage, and sign in to multiple Workday tenants and organizations (Example: Companies) from the Workday mobile apps. Users can switch between tenants on the Home page and on the sign-in page.

Feature Availability

Workday enables features on mobile by their domain security policies. You can verify that they're enabled by viewing their domain security policies. A few features require additional mobile-specific setup. To ensure full functionality of features available on mobile, users should use the latest version of the Workday mobile app.
This table provides a high-level description of the main features that you can make available on mobile. For more information about task and feature availability, you can run the
