changes after upgrading to Moodle 4

Copy-pasting edited extracts from an email exchange after upgrading a test server to Moodle 4 - 


... the orange band appears with company logo. Need to check how to remove orange band or replace the logo with SSSVV.

 
Also the footer information is not displayed like in the present case.

The easy way to remove it is to add the following to the Advanced tab in Moove settings,  Raw SCSS - 
footer#page-footer .copyright  {display:none;}
which I have done now. 
 
a) In the footer when you click on the mailbox it goes to MS edge account and not to the given mail id.

The footer link for contact us is a mailto: link. This will work properly if your browser is configured properly to handle mailto: links.
If you find that clicking that link takes you to your microsoft account, you might be using microsoft edge browser? In that case,
 
b) Phone when clicked goes to a number which has this number added before the number given "662453:"

Just like the contact us email link is a mailto: link, the telephone link is a tel: link, which again needs to be configured correctly in your browser for it to work.
The incorrect behaviour is also because the tel: link is not configured properly. Only the number should be entered, and not text like "Mobile:".
 
c) Although I have a Web whatsapp installed on my laptop it says the link is wrong. On mobile it works.

One workaround would be to enter the whatsapp phone number as
00919876543210 - without spaces and without the + symbol, using 0091 instead of +91 - then I think it works.
 
d) When one clicks on Google Play icon for mobile app. the user cannot return to the front page but goes to the site home page. To return to the front page he has to login and logout.

I think this is related to what we have discussed earlier, Moodle shows a different page when one is logged in as compared to when logged out. Also, user is automatically logged in to guest login if any of the internal links which have guest access are clicked.
 
e) Is it possible to remove the App. Store link or the version 4 of moodle supports mobile app. on IOS devices.

Yes, we can remove if necessary using custom CSS. We probably need to link to the India site, like

(the US site https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moodle/id633359593 does not seem to load for users in India)


7) I have added sample videos in some blocks to check. However if you open a video for viewing one cannot return to the front page but lands on the site home page. (Front page means non logged in page). One has to log in and log out to land again on the front page.

Please see how the marketing block looks like on the production site. I don't think there is any change in functionality 
 Whenever I log into the site I get a mail saying new sign in. May be a version 4.0 addition. Can it be disabled or it will remain as default.

You can probably change this behaviour from
