Microsoft is retiring the Microsoft Lens scanning app on iOS and Android (effective Jan 9, 2026), with support ending Feb 9 and new scans disabled after Mar 9, though existing scans remain accessible if the app stays installed; the article recommends alternatives for various needs, including OneDrive (built-in scanner), Apple Notes and Google Drive for basic scanning, PhotoScan for simple photo capture, and more advanced options like Adobe Scan (OCR, PDF tools) and iScanner (AI features, subscription).
