Microsoft 365 Apps are getting an update for those using the Current Channel, starting from August 5th, 2025. If you're familiar with how your smartphone updates its apps automatically, this is quite similar. For those who have their Microsoft 365 Apps set to update automatically, it's like having your phone set to download and install app updates overnight while you sleep. You won't need to do anything, and your apps will be up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
However, if you prefer to manage these updates yourself, think of it like manually choosing which apps to update on your phone. You can download the latest version and start the update process when it's convenient for you. This gives you control over when and how the updates are applied, much like deciding when to update your phone's operating system.
For more detailed information about what's included in this update, you can check the release notes online. This is similar to reading the "What's New" section in an app store to see what changes or new features have been added to an app. Keeping up with these updates ensures that you have the latest tools and features at your disposal, just like keeping your phone apps current helps you enjoy the latest improvements and fixes.
