Microsoft is killing Office 2019 for Mac and iPhone, and you can't do much about it

Microsoft will be effectively bricking the standalone Office 2019 for Mac, iPad, and iPhone users on July 13, 2026. There's not much you can do about it, other than buy again, or subscribe to Office 365.


In October, Microsoft officially ended support for Office 2019 for Mac, a standalone version of its ubiquitous productivity suite. While support was no longer provided, users could still use the software.

Unfortunately, that's about to change no matter how old your hardware is, and regardless of what version of Apple's OSes you're running.
