Microsoft has declared that, commencing July 13, 2026, it will discontinue support for the primary functions of the standalone edition of Office 2019 on Mac, iPad, and iPhone platforms. Users will find themselves unable to avert this impending alteration. To maintain uninterrupted access to the full suite of features, they will be required to either repurchase a license for a newer version or transition to a Microsoft 365 subscription plan. Consequently, once the support period for Office 2019's standalone version concludes, it will essentially become obsolete for practical use.
