RIP Microsoft Lens, a simple little app that's getting replaced by AI | TechCrunch
Briefly

Microsoft Lens, originally launched in 2015 as Office Lens, is a mobile document scanner that converts paper documents into digital files. It is being discontinued and will be removed from iOS and Android devices by November 15, 2025. Users will retain scanning capabilities until December 15, 2025, after which no new scans can be made, though access to previous scans will remain. The app offered unique features without subscriptions and allowed for easy saving in multiple formats, unlike the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, which is being promoted instead.
