Hi @Sathwik ,

I would like to respond with excerpts from the documentation

Now Mobile

Let’s employees perform basic ServiceNow tasks from their mobile devices, such as submitting and viewing incidents and requests, submitting approvals, and searching for answers to common questions.

Mobile Agent

Let’s service agents work on the go by providing them the right tools and information to prioritize and fulfill tasks across the enterprise (e.g., updating records, coordinating with co-workers).

 

So the main difference is, that Now Mobile App is for the requesters and Now Mobile App is for the fulfillers.

Kind regards
Maik

Hi.Maik

 

I am considering whether to use now mobile or mobile agent.
However, I can't see any difference between now mobile and mobile agent in terms of layout and features.

1.
About now mobile and mobile agent
(1) Advantages (2) Disadvantages (3) What you can do (4) What you can't do
Can you tell me about each?

2.
Also, are there any differences in the functions that can be used depending on the role (admin, ITIL, etc.)?

3.
If there is no particular difference in functionality, why are there two separate apps?
If the functions are exactly the same, I don't think there is any need to have two.
