How to hide "..." three dots of Not following & Site Access on top of nav bar for member & visitor access in mobile version?

Question

Is there any method to hide that "..." three dots at mobile version? or any custom workaround programmatically? I need to hide for users with member & visitor access. I don't have problem when it comes to desktop version but in mobile view, it still appear for users with member and & visitor access even though i hide 'Not following' in site features settings.

Below 1st screenshot is in desktop/web version. As you can see, it works

2nd screenshot is in mobile version. User that has visitor/read permission still can see "..." three dots without Not following & Site Access.

Very appreciate if there is any help! Thank you.

Hi @Nufa98,

Thanks for your detailed explanation, I am more than willing to help you out.

We can't actually hide "..." three dots, which is designed by SharePoint. We don't have an out-of-the-box way to hide it at the moment. Also, SharePoint has disabled script injection for security purposes, so we can't hide it through CSS scripts either.

We can remove the Not Following option by deactivating the Following Content feature, but this action affects all users and also removes this selection on the web side.

Here are detail steps to deactivate the Following Content feature:

• Contant your site administrator to go to your SharePoint Online site.
• Navigate to Settings > Site Information > View all Site Settings.
• Under Manage Site Features, deactivate the Following Content feature. This will remove the "Not following" option.

If you are very desperate to remove these three points, then you can use SPFx to solve the problem programmatically. You can add custom CSS scripts to hide content on the page via SPFx. However, SPFx requires some programming skills and can be complicated.

If you are new to SPFx, please refer to this article to get started.
