As per the report, the same capability was already available on Office for Windows, macOS, and the web.

The feature is now available for Office on all major platforms with the expansion to Android and iOS.

The ability to collaborate in real-time across devices has become more critical with more people working remotely and from home.

With the best iPads and best Android tablets becoming more popular as general computing devices, mobile support is now essential for many people as well.
