The Microsoft Lens app will be retired from iOS and Android devices starting January 9, 2026, and will no longer be supported after February 9. You can continue to scan documents in the app until March 9, 2026. After that, you will not be able to create new scans, but you will still be able to access your previous scans if the app remains installed on your device.
Note:Â You need to be signed into your last active account on the Microsoft Lens app to access past scans.Â
Microsoft Lens will be removed from the Apple App store and Google Play Store on February 9, 2026.
Recommended alternative: OneDrive
To continue using scanning capabilities, we recommend the OneDrive app, which includes a built-in scanning feature.

-
Open the OneDrive app on your mobile device.
-
Select the + button on the bottom corner.
-
Select Scan photo to scan your documents.
-
Save it to your desired location in your OneDrive.
Note:Â OneDrive does not support saving scans locally on your device.
