Attention Android Users: You will no longer be able to use this app after this date..
Microsoft has announced that the Outlook Lite app for Android is being discontinued. Designed for users with low-power devices, this lightweight email app will soon lose access to all mailboxes, requiring users to switch to the more feature-rich Outlook Mobile app.
**The App Will Shut Down on This Date**
According to a report by Neowin, the app will cease to function after May 25, 2026. Although you will still be able to open the app, it will no longer allow access to emails, calendars, or attachments. Microsoft had already blocked new downloads of Outlook Lite starting October 6, 2025, to prevent new users from adopting the app. The report states that Microsoft has set an end-of-life date for Outlook Lite on Android as the company shifts its focus to the feature-rich Outlook Mobile app.
**How Will This Affect You?**
Outlook Lite was designed to serve Android users with entry-level smartphones or limited network connectivity. However, Microsoft is now consolidating its mobile offerings around Outlook Mobile, which provides broader mailbox support and enhanced compliance features. The Outlook Mobile app also features deep integration with Microsoft 365 services.
If you are currently using this app, it is recommended that you migrate to Outlook Mobile to ensure continued, seamless access to your emails and calendar items. Microsoft suggests using the "Upgrade" option within Outlook Lite, which directs users to the Google Play Store to download Outlook Mobile. Alternatively, users can manually install the app and sign in with their existing accounts to regain access to all their data. Microsoft confirms that users will be able to access all their existing emails, calendar items, and attachments on Outlook Mobile.
