1. From Setup, enter Activity Settings in the Quick Find box, then select **Activity Settings**.
2. Select **Show simpler New Task form on mobile**.
3. Click **Submit**.
    
    This form doesn’t allow the creation of task reminders or recurring tasks, or the use of predefined subjects.

These hard-coded fields always appear in the Salesforce mobile app, no matter which fields are on the action page layout:

- Subject
- Comments
- Name
- Related To
- Due Date

If you use custom quick actions in publisher layouts used in the Salesforce mobile app, you must use the default Subject field, or the layout isn’t shown to mobile users.
