The liked Microsoft Lens PDF Scanner app is getting killed soon, with the company trying to push users to the poorly-received Copilot service, that as an additional insult, doesn’t do everything that Lens did.

Microsoft is ending support for one of its highly-rated, much-beloved apps: Microsoft Lens PDF Scanner. The app, which originally premiered as Office Lens, is —or was — a mobile app that captures, edits, and converts documents, whiteboards, and receipts into searchable PDF files.
The sunsetting process is going to be somewhat gradual, and the company plans to start in mid-September. By mid-October, new downloads of Microsoft Lens will be disabled.
