Microsoft will retire the Android and iOS mobile apps for Microsoft Lists. This change affects users on both platforms and will roll out in phases between late June and mid-November 2025.
Timeline
- Late June 2025
The mobile apps will show an informational banner, alerting users to the upcoming retirement and recommending the mobile web experience. - Mid-September 2025
New installations of the Microsoft Lists mobile apps will be blocked for all users. - Mid-November 2025
The apps will be removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play. Existing installations will display an error when launched.
Impact for your users
After the retirement, users can no longer install or open the Microsoft Lists mobile apps.
All existing list data remains intact and accessible via:
- Microsoft Lists for Windows desktop (it’s not really a desktop app, it’s a PWA browser app)
- Microsoft Lists in a mobile browser
- Microsoft Lists on a desktop browser
Microsoft recommends switching to the Microsoft Lists mobile browser experience as an alternative to the Lists mobile app, which offers richer functionality and ongoing updates.
