explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you have a favorite kitchen gadget that helps you quickly prepare meals. Over time, the manufacturer decides to stop making new models of this gadget, but they assure you that your current gadget will still work just fine. You can continue using it, but if you want a new one, you'll need to explore other options or methods to prepare your meals.
This is similar to what's happening with Power Apps' Image to App and Figma to App features. These features are like that kitchen gadget, helping users create apps from images or Figma designs. Starting October 21, 2025, Microsoft will stop allowing the creation of new apps using these specific features. However, any apps you've already created with them will still work and be supported, just like your trusty kitchen gadget.
For those who want to create new apps, there are alternative methods available. You can use options like Generative Pages in Model Apps or Plan Designer with image attachments. Additionally, there are third-party and community tools that can help bring external designs into Power Apps. It's like finding new recipes or tools to prepare your meals in different ways.
In summary, while the Image to App and Figma to App features will no longer be available for new creations after October 2025, existing apps remain unaffected, and there are plenty of other ways to continue building new apps.
