I myself wonder whether this is simply yet another "Chrome compete" attempt by Microsoft. (Thanks to for the pointer on the support page change.)īefore last week, this same Support page advised Chromebook users to install the native Android versions of the Office apps from the Google Play Store. It supports devices running on Android 5 or higher as well as iOS 12 or newer versions as of now. Out of them, most of the parents prefer installing the Qustodio app on the Android or iOS device of their kids.

The newly updated page advises Chromebook users to go to to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and OneDrive.

Instead, Microsoft will be advising those users to use its web-based and apps starting September 18. These are the companions of the Qustodio Professional Control App, our app specially for businesses and schools. Starting in September, Microsoft will no longer support its native Android Office apps on Chromebooks. ![]()
