Older Macs and iPhones Could Lose Major Office 365 Features in a Few Weeks

From CNET: If you want to edit your Microsoft Office 2019 files on your Mac, you'll only be able to do so until next month.

Starting July 13, Office 2019 apps for Mac -- including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote -- will enter a "reduced functionality mode" that disables editing, saving or creating new files, while allowing only viewing and printing. This restriction also affects outdated iPhone and iPad applications, according to Microsoft.

That's because Microsoft Office 2019 stopped being officially supported in October 2023, and the version no longer receives software or security updates.

Subscribers of Microsoft 365 on newer supported versions of Office on MacOS, as well as customers of the nonsubscription Office 2021, will need to update their software before July to avoid the same fate.
