Microsoft 365: Install on Mobile Devices
Historically, mobile device users had to install the office apps individually, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. The new unified Microsoft Office app rolls the most popular functions of those three Office applications into a single download.
NOTE: This application option is available for all apple and android phones. Currently, for tablets, this application is only available on iPads.
