Microsoft released Excel version 2.102.1 for iOS and iPadOS on October 13, 2025, adding support for Apple's Liquid Glass design introduced with iOS and iPadOS 26. After the update, many users experienced hangs, freezes, and crashes on iPhone and iPad devices. Version 2.102.2 downloaded three days later was found non-functional, with the "+ Create" icon not responding to touch and preventing new spreadsheet creation. Microsoft release notes claimed performance optimizations and a refreshed look. Forum threads and App Store reviews since mid-October report persistent freezing, search-related hangs, and inability to work on files. iOS 26 shipped September 15, 2025 and has been linked to numerous bugs.
