Microsoft is sunsetting its popular Lens document scanning app after nearly a decade, directing users to its Copilot AI platform despite significant feature gaps. The move highlights tensions between specialized utilities and consolidated AI experiences as Lens' 92 million users face losing critical OCR and accessibility functions.

Microsoft will retire its popular Lens PDF scanner app for iOS and Android in December 2025, ending a tool with over 50 million downloads. The phased shutdown forces users to migrate to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, despite missing key Lens features like OneNote integration and text-to-speech functionality. This move continues Microsoft's trend of consolidating services into its AI-powered Copilot platform.
