Microsoft's new Outlook Lite Android app is coming this month

Microsoft is working on a smaller and faster Outlook Lite app for Android. The software giant has detailed the app in its Microsoft 365 roadmap, where it describes Outlook Lite as “an Android app that brings the main benefits of Outlook in a smaller app size with fast performance for low-end devices on any network.”

The roadmap reveals that the Outlook Lite app will be available worldwide at some point this month. ZDNet reports that an Outlook Lite app already exists in a few countries, so Microsoft appears to be readying it for an overall release. Microsoft's own documentation on Outlook Lite suggests the app will be limited to only Outlook, Hotmail, Live, and MSN accounts, and won't support work or school accounts.

Microsoft is also testing a new Outlook for Windows app. The new app is in beta and is based on Outlook on the web. It will eventually replace the Outlook for Windows app in the coming years.
