Setting up Office on Android Devices

Install and set up Office on an Android

There are two ways to get Office on your Android phone or tablet:

You can install the new Office mobile app that combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single app, and introduces new mobile-centric features to view, edit and share files without the need to switch between multiple apps.

Alternately, tap any of the icons below to install the individual Office apps on your iPhone or iPad.

Set up Office apps for the first time:

1.

On your Android, open any standalone mobile Office app (for example, Excel). 

Sign in with your Microsoft 365 account and then tap Next.

 
2.

If you signed in with a Microsoft account that’s associated with Office 2016 or Office 2019, you may get the option to upgrade to Microsoft 365.

You can purchase a plan, or tap Maybe later if you want to use the mobile apps without a subscription.

Note that you get access to premium features if you use a Microsoft 365 subscription.

3.

Follow the instructions to purchase a plan, or select Maybe later if you want to use the apps without a subscription.

Note that you get extra features if you use a Microsoft 365 subscription.

If you have other Office apps installed on your Android device, your account and OneDrive files will be automatically added.

4.

To add another account, tap Open (or Open other documents if you’re on a tablet) > Add a place.

If you are using OneNote, tap Settings > Accounts.

5.

Choose the cloud service you want to add,  OneDrive for Business.

6.

Enter your Microsoft 365 email address and password to sign in to that service.

You’re done!
