Microsoft is set to discontinue its Outlook Lite app on May 26, putting an end to the support for the minimalist email service introduced in 2022 for Android devices with limited storage and slower internet connections.
The retirement of Outlook Lite was already planned following Microsoft’s announcement last year that it would be delisted from the Google Play Store in October 2025. The recent decision implies that the app will cease to function for current users starting next month.
According to a support page dedicated to Outlook Lite, Microsoft advised users to transition to its regular mobile app for a secure and feature-rich email experience. The company stated, “To continue enjoying a secure and feature-rich email experience, we recommend switching to Outlook Mobile.”
Microsoft assured Outlook Lite users that they can still access their existing emails, calendar events, and attachments by logging into Outlook Mobile. Additionally, users will be guided to the Google Play Store to download the standard Outlook app.
