#office for android

Along with the release of Office for iPad, Microsoft is now making Office Mobile free on the iPhone and Android smartphones. The free Office Mobile app is designed for home use and lets you access, view and edit your Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint documents if you sign in with a free Microsoft account. Microsoft Office Mobile can be downloaded for free on the App Store (49.2MB) and Play Store (27MB). For more information, check out Android's official developer's blog here. For context, Android brands under the same "umbrella" usually share the same codebase. The latter runs Android 15 Go Edition for some variety in this list.

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, announced that the company rebuilt the app from scratch, calling it "one of the largest engineering efforts in the company's history." Bier also noted some improvements remain in progress, including better performance on older Android devices and support for hosting Spaces on Android.
