M365 F3 screen size limit

Anonymous

Dear All,

Could anyone here clarify the screen size limitation of M365 F3? There are fews comments regarding this l, one said the limitation apply to the both web and mobile. The other said, it is applied to the mobile only like in this post.

So could anyone elaborate in more detail, where and on which condition the limitation is applied?

Meanwhile, if I have Office Pro desktop and use it along with the M365 F3 license, would I be possible to install it on my desktop and use the Office without the aforementioned limitation?

Thank you for the response, any comments will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Dear Made Harta Dwijaksara,

Good day to you! I hope you are doing well. Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. We will be happy to help you.

According to your description, some Microsoft 365 plans have a screen size limit of 10.9 inches for editing in the Microsoft 365 mobile apps, while non-qualifying plans have a stricter limit of 10.1 inches. For example, if you are using an iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen, you must have a qualifying Microsoft 365 plan that includes access to the desktop apps to edit files.

Regarding your query, this limitation does not apply to the web versions of Office apps. You can use a browser to edit documents on any device, regardless of its screen size. As for your second question, Microsoft 365 F3 licenses do not include the desktop versions of Office applications. These licenses are designed specifically for web and mobile use only, as outlined in Changing from a Microsoft 365 E plan to a Microsoft 365 F plan - Microsoft 365 for frontline workers | Microsoft Learn.However, if you have an Office Pro desktop license, you can install and use the desktop applications without being restricted by the screen size limitation.
