About this tag
The Microsoft Lens retirement is a phased shutdown of the mobile document scanner app, originally released as Office Lens in 2015 and rebranded in 2021. Microsoft is consolidating scanning functionality into OneDrive and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps, with a final deadline around March 2026. Users and IT teams must migrate scans to avoid lost data, workflow breakage, or compliance exposure. The transition affects how documents are captured, stored, and processed on mobile devices, with OneDrive Scan and Copilot serving as replacements. Key considerations include backing up existing scans and planning for new scanning workflows within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
