These days Microsoft tries to nudge you toward paying monthly for its ongoing Office 365 subscription plan, but the good news is that you don’t have to! Whether you need to exchange files with colleagues at work or submit assignments for school, more often than not, you’ll need Word, Excel, and more to get the job done properly.
Microsoft added that "there are no changes to Office 365 subscription plans.There’s no denying that Microsoft’s Office suite is the clear leader in productivity apps for work and home. However, it's now considered a legacy brand, so any new features will be for Microsoft 365 and not Office, according to The Verge. The Office name will remain for one-time purchases through Office 2021 and Office LTSC that offers apps through volume licensing.
There will also be a Microsoft 365 app on mobile and desktop that will act as a centralized hub for information, showing meetings, files, documents and more. The app names themselves won't change, as you'll still be using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, Clipchamp, Stream and Designer. The changes will happen next month, and the Office app for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android will be rebranded in January. "In the coming months,, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features," a FAQ states.Ĭurrently, you can access Microsoft's Word, Excel and other apps online at, but that will soon be switched to - with a new six-sided logo replacing the current square one. Now, it's removing most of the remaining Office branding, according to new updates spotted by The Verge. Back in 2020, Microsoft announced that it would be changing the name of its Office 365 subscription to Microsoft 365, acknowledging that it had become more than just a work app.
