Microsoft is launching a new Outlook Lite app for Android this month, media reports announced on Wednesday.
“Outlook Lite is an Android app that brings the main benefits of Outlook in a smaller app size with fast performance for low-end devices,” according to the report.
Outlook Lite will be available to everyone in July this year. However, some users have already been enrolled in the new app through early access.
Microsoft documentation provided detailed key features of the new Outlook Lite. For instance, you won’t be able to sign in to your Outlook account via Gmail, Yahoo, or any non-Outlook service as the app currently only supports Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, Hotmail, Live, MSN, and Outlook accounts.
You also can’t add more than one account at the moment until future updates arrive with multi-account support.
Meanwhile, dark mode and event reminders are not currently supported but will be available in future updates.
The new Outlook Lite is perfect for low-end devices. It is not the first app to go Lite. Several other popular apps, including Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram, all have Lite versions.
