Microsoft has confirmed that it will shut down its Outlook Lite app for Android users within six weeks, shifting its main mobile email platform to Android.
According to Neowin, “Microsoft has (finally) set the end date for Outlook Lite on Android,” which will “officially lose all mailbox access” after May 25, “as Microsoft shifts its focus to the feature-rich Outlook Mobile.”
The lightweight app, designed for low-end Android devices, will not function properly after the time limit.
Although the app may still open, key features will be disabled. Neowin reports that “the Outlook Lite app will still open but mailbox access will be disabled and in-app navigation and functionality will not work.”
Microsoft had already begun phasing out the app, noting that it was “discontinued effective October 6, 2025. Existing users may continue to use the app for a limited time before full retirement.”
The company is encouraging users to switch to Outlook Mobile, its primary email app on Android and iOS platforms.
Microsoft says that “all existing emails, calendar items, and attachments will remain accessible when users sign in.”
