Outlook Lite, Microsoft’s simplified version of Outlook Mobile for Android users, is coming to an end. Outlook Lite was originally created in 2022 to provide a lightweight option for Android devices, especially older smartphones.
The deadline to apply is May 25, 2026, as Microsoft focuses on its flagship email app, Outlook Mobile. After May 25, users will no longer be able to access mailboxes through Outlook Lite.
Microsoft has been blocking new downloads of Outlook Lite since October. Microsoft is now encouraging Outlook Lite users to upgrade to Outlook Mobile for more features and a more secure experience.
Even though Outlook Lite is closed, user accounts will still remain. Emails and calendars will be available once users migrate to the default Outlook Mobile app, offered on both Android and iOS.
