Microsoft Lens, an app for scanning documents and whiteboards into digital files, will be discontinued by the end of this year. Microsoft announced the phased retirement last week without specifying a reason. Instead, the company is recommending users transition to Microsoft Copilot 365 as a replacement. This shift signals a consolidation of features within the Copilot ecosystem, potentially offering enhanced functionalities beyond simple scanning. Existing Lens users will need to adapt to the new system, potentially impacting their workflow for digitizing physical documents. The focus is now on Copilot to provide similar, if not improved, scanning capabilities.
