If you have difficulty finding an app, click “All apps” and search through the alphabetized list of apps available. After the first time your users see the new launcher, apps in the main view will stay the same, unless a user chooses to customize their apps or an administrator adds or removes licenses. When the app launcher rolls out beyond First Release, we will have more data to pin any additional apps that a user has opened within the last 30 days. While the new app launcher is in First Release, we will also pin any additional apps that user has opened in the last couple of days. With the new app launcher, a user’s main view will include a default set of apps. This rollout to First Release is in progress, and the roll out to the rest of the world is expected to complete early 2018. For example, teachers and students may see education-specific apps. It also highlights additional apps relevant to your users. However, the redesigned main view now emphasizes the most used applications across Office 365. The apps your users see in the new app launcher are still based on the licenses you have assigned. The new Office 365 app launcher is a personalized and simple way to help your users open and switch between the apps they use most.

The new GUI emphasizes most recently used apps and will be rolled out to all tenants by early 2018. Last week Microsoft released a new App Launcher GUI for first release Office 365 tenants.
