Microsoft’s Office app now supports Apple iPadOS

San Francisco: Microsoft has updated its unified Office mobile app with support for iPadOS, bringing the experience of Word, Excel and PowerPoint to Apple’s tablet platform.

The new Office app combines Word, Excel and PowerPoint into a single application, and was originally launched for iOS and Android back in 2019, The Verge reported on Tuesday.

Microsoft has been gradually improving it ever since, but it always ran in a windowed mode instead of a fully optimized iPad app, the report said.

The app also bundles in some useful tools designed primarily for mobile tasks. These include the ability to quickly create PDFs or sign documents, converting images to text and tables, and more quick actions.
