Microsoft continues to consolidate its mobile app offering, retiring Lens while pushing more users to Copilot for their document scanning needs.

Microsoft will soon retire its popular Lens PDF scanner app, despite its solid scores in the Android and iOS app stores.

Microsoft Lens was that type of app: a mobile document scanner that turned paper documents, business cards, receipts, and anything else into easily readable digital files. Now that app is being discontinued, Microsoft says, as it directs its users to its Copilot AI chat app instead.
