We will agree that the Office applications on the iPhone do not have much productivity, as they are cataloged. I don't think there are many people who are dedicated to working with Excel on mobile, really. But if you work with Microsoft Office on your computer, whether under macOS or Windows, it is mandatory that you also carry them on your smartphone.
They will serve you to consult any Office document from your iPhone. It is very practical to be able to see any Excel, Porwerpoint or Word that you have in your mail or in iCloud. Now all three Office apps for iOS and iPadOS have been redesigned.
Microsoft just updated their Office applications, Word, Excel y Power point with a new, more simplified design and with new interesting functions. These new versions, 2.34, have been rewritten from scratch. They get a drastic interface change and some new productivity features have been added.
All three applications bring a new function ALT TEXT to add alternative texts. Excel, incorporates the function XLOOKUP, a search engine that allows you to find any content in the cells of your tables, row by row.
New screens
The three applications that make up the Microsoft Office suite for Smartphones They have been updated with a three-tab layout: Home, New, and Open.
- Home: Sign in with your Microsoft account and access your recent documents.
- New: Create a new document where you have several templates to choose from.
- Open: Open an existing file stored on your iPhone, in Files, or in one of the different compatible clouds.
Word, Excel y Power point They are free Microsoft applications and you can download them from the App Store for both iOS and iPadOS. They are fully functional with your free Microsoft account. Inside they offer integrated purchases in case you want to subscribe to their services. Unfortunately, in the iPads Pro the free version is limited by Microsoft only to the consultation of documents. You cannot save documents if your account is free. Billy Gates' company thinks that on an 11-inch device you can already work comfortably with Office, and it forces you to have a subscription to be able to edit the documents.
