OneNote for iOS version 16.106 appears to have introduced an issue where the bullet indent sizes have increased significantly, in a way that adversely affects the display of bulleted text. The issue is still present in version 16.106.1, in all my notes and on all my and my wife's iOS devices. The issue is not present on OneNote on my Windows PCs. The two images below show the problem:

Answering my own question - this has been fixed with version 16.106.3 (26022714).
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your question. I understand how frustrating it is when a mobile app update changes list formatting across all your devices while your Windows PCs still render bullets as expected. Similar indentation inconsistencies on iPad/iPhone have been reported by other users on the same build family.
This appears to be a cross‑platform layout regression specific to the recent iOS releases, not a content issue with your notes, which is why OneNote for Windows and OneNote for the web still look correct. Community guidance from Microsoft moderators recommends first clearing the affected text’s formatting in OneNote for the web and then re‑applying bullet/number formatting, which can normalize the HTML behind the page and sometimes mitigate rendering issues on iOS. You can do this by opening the page in OneNote for the web, selecting the affected content, choosing Clear formatting, and then re‑applying the bullet/number style per the OneNote formatting article.
If the layout remains off on iOS, use the in‑app channel to report the bug to the OneNote team and attach your screenshots; this is the fastest way to get device/build details to engineering. In OneNote for iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Help & Support > Contact Support / Send Feedback (or follow the OneNote iPhone help hub for troubleshooting links and “Fixes or workarounds for recent issues”). Reinstalling is generally not necessary for formatting regressions, but if you try it, ensure notebooks are fully synced first.
To help narrow scope, does the excessive indent affect only bulleted lists, or numbered lists and tagged paragraphs as well, and does clearing/re‑applying formatting in OneNote for the web change the iOS rendering after a fresh sync?
Please let me know what happens after you try the web “clear formatting → re‑apply list” steps and send the in‑app feedback; if the issue persists, I can help you capture exact app and iOS build numbers and draft a reproducible case we can escalate.
Best Regards,
Noel

Hi @Noel Macadangdang and thanks for the quick reply. I typed a detailed response but the automatic moderation software seems a bit sensitive about anything which might suggest a problem or (I'll spell this using the phonetic alphabet) "bravo-uniform-golf" in the software. Basically I tried everything you suggested and the problem persists, with bulleted and numbered lists. I don't use tagged paragraphs. I've sent a Feedback from within the app. I'm using OneNote for iOS 16.106.1 (26021310) and Microsoft OneNote for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2602 Build 16.0.19725.20058) 64-bit. Many thanks.
