Microsoft has started rolling out new Universal versions of Microsoft 365 apps with native support for both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs starting today.
"The new Office apps are Universal, so they will continue to run great on Macs with Intel processors," Bill Doll, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft 365 said.
The new Microsoft 365 apps also include the latest optimizations for macOS Big Sur and have been redesigned to match the looks of the first macOS release to come with support for Apple Silicon.
"We are working on universal app support for M1 Macs and will share more news as our work progresses," Doll added.
On devices where automatic updates are toggled off, users can get the Universal Microsoft 365 apps by checking for updates in the Mac App Store, Microsoft AutoUpdate, or from the Office app's Help menu.
