Mobile apps
Several Office apps have versions available for Windows Mobile, iOS, and Android devices2. For more information about the apps, see Microsoft Office 365 for Mobile. The Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneDrive mobile apps offer premium features to Office 365 subscribers. See the Microsoft Office Resources page for information about the extra features available with Office 365 on Windows Mobile, iOS, and Android.
iOS: Office for iPad® and iPhone® (including Outlook for iOS on iPad® and iPhone®) requires iOS 12.0 or later. Office for iPad Pro™ requires iOS 11.0 or later. Office is supported on the two most recent versions of iOS. When a new version of iOS is released, the Office Operating System requirement becomes the two most recent versions: the new version of iOS and the previous version.
Android: Office for Android can be installed on tablets and phones running any of the supported versions of Android and have an ARM-based or Intel x86 processor. Starting on July 1, 2019, support will be limited to only the last four major versions of Android.
Product functionality and feature availability may vary on older systems. For the best experience, use the latest version of any operating system specified above.
Browser
Any mobile browser supported by Microsoft may be used, including the Intune Managed Browser.
Other
Internet functionality requires an internet connection. Fees may apply.
Product functionality and graphics may vary based on your system configuration. Some features may require additional or advanced hardware or server connectivity.
Microsoft account and/or organizational account is required for licensing and to access services.
Skype requires a standard built-in camera or USB 2.0 video camera, a microphone, and an audio output device in order to utilize its full range of calling features.
Browsers
Safari and Chrome: Office 365 and Office 2019 are designed to work with the current version of the Safari and Chrome browsers.
Microsoft Edge: Office 365 and Office 2019 are designed to work with the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser. Microsoft Edge browser updates are available through the Windows Servicing branches. Office might continue to work with versions of the Edge browser older than the latest branch, but Office can’t provide any guarantees.
Internet Explorer: Office 365 and Office 2019 are designed to work with Internet Explorer 11. We recommend that you upgrade to Internet Explorer 11, if you are using an earlier version. Office might continue to work with versions of Internet Explorer other than Internet Explorer 11, but Office can’t provide any guarantees.
If your organization is dependent upon earlier versions of Internet Explorer to access older web apps and services, you should consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 11 and evaluating Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11, which provides backward compatibility for legacy web apps. See the lifecycle support policy for Internet Explorer for more detail.
Firefox: Most Office 365 apps and Office 2019 are designed to work with the current version of Firefox. However, Firefox does not fully support Microsoft Teams meetings.
Microsoft Teams meetings are fully supported on the latest versions of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. For more details on browser support for Teams meetings, see Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams: Browsers
Office 2016 suites and standalone applications
Office suites are a one-time purchase that includes applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for use on a single PC or Mac. Office 2016 suites for business may be purchased for more than five computers through volume licensing. Office as a one-time purchase does not include any of the services included in Office 365 (for example, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online). Office 2016 and Office 2019 connections to Office 365 services will be supported until October 2023. Note: Office 2019 is the latest version of Office available as a one-time purchase.
Office 365 is designed to work with the latest browsers and versions of Office. If you use older browsers and versions of Office that are not in mainstream support:
Microsoft won’t deliberately prevent you from connecting to the service, but the quality of your Office 365 experience may diminish over time.
Microsoft won’t provide code fixes to resolve non-security related problems.
