Microsoft discontinuing Lens PDF scanner app for iOS/Android starting September 2025.
Timeline: New installs stop Oct 2025, app delisted Nov 2025, new scans stop Dec 15, 2025.
Existing scans remain accessible in Lens app (unsupported) or via OneDrive in Copilot app.
Users must migrate to Microsoft 365 Copilot app for scanning; lacks direct save to OneNote/Word/PPT.
Copilot replacement misses key Lens features: business card scanning & read-aloud/Immersive Reader.
Microsoft pledges to improve Copilot features but offers no parity timeline for missing functions.
Lens had huge adoption: 50M+ Play Store downloads (4.9/5 rating) & 136K+ App Store ratings.
Lens joins other deprecated Microsoft tools like Authenticator password fill, Publisher, & Paint 3D.
