Summary
- Microsoft will end support for Outlook Lite on May 26.
- The lightweight app was designed for phones with limited storage.
- Users are advised to switch to the full Outlook Mobile app.
Microsoft has announced the closure of its Outlook Lite application, with support set to end on May 26. This decision impacts users who relied on the streamlined version of Outlook, which was initially released in 2022.
Outlook Lite was specifically developed to cater to Android devices with restricted storage capacity and for use in regions where internet connections are typically slower. The company had previously indicated the app's retirement, with plans to remove it from the Google Play Store by October 2025.
Existing users of Outlook Lite are being advised by Microsoft to transition to the standard Outlook Mobile application. This move ensures continued access to a secure and comprehensive email service. All data, including emails, calendar entries, and attachments, will be accessible upon signing into Outlook Mobile.
