Lighter versions of several apps exist, allowing them to run on low-end smartphones and in areas with low internet connectivity. We have a bunch of Google Go apps, Facebook Lite, and more on the list. Microsoft is also prepping to launch one, which will be a ‘Lite-er’ version of Outlook for Android.
Microsoft has recently updated its Microsoft 365 roadmap and we can find mentions of an Outlook Lite app for Android. This would essentially bring in the Outlook features stuffed in a relatively smaller app size for phones low on RAM. It is said that the new app will launch this month.
The page reveals that the current Outlook Lite app only supports personal Outlook, Hotmail, Live, and MSN accounts and allows users to log in to one account. It is suggested that support for third-party accounts like Gmail will arrive in the future. The report also mentions that Outlook Lite has more or less the same functionalities as the original Outlook app on Android and is rather faster.
