This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Sway Blog articles.

Microsoft is retiring the Sway for iOS app December 17, 2018. We’re advising all our valued iOS users to use Sway online at sway.office.com.

 

With this change, we’re consolidating our Sway experience. Sway online provides the same, most up-to-date feature set across platforms and devices.

 

All Sways that you have created or edited on Sway for iOS will continue to exist, and you access them on Sway online.

 

You can use the iOS app until December 17, 2018. After that date, when you open the app you will be greeted with a message directing you to Sway online.

 

We want to extend the biggest thank you to our iOS users. We appreciate your support of Sway for iOS and look forward to seeing your Sways online.

 

—The Sway team
