Back in 2020, Microsoft declared that it would be changing the name of its Office 365 subscription to Microsoft 365, recognizing that it had become something other than a work application. Presently, it’s eliminating the greater part of the leftover Office branding. “In the coming months, Office.com, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features,” a FAQ states.
As of now, you can access Microsoft’s Word, Excel and other applications online at Office.com, yet that will soon be changed to Microsoft365.com — with a new six-sided logo supplanting the ongoing square one. The progressions will occur one month from now, and the Office app for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android will be rebranded in January.
The application names themselves won’t change, as you’ll in any case be using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, Clipchamp, Stream and Designer. There will likewise be a Microsoft 365 app on mobile and desktop that will go about as a centralized hub for data, showing meetings, files, documents and more.
The Office name will stay for one-time buys through Office 2021 and Office LTSC that offers applications through volume licensing. Be that as it may, it’s presently viewed as a legacy brand, so any new features will be for Microsoft 365 and not Office. That’s what microsoft added “there are no changes to Office 365 subscription plans.”
