The Office install and update packages include the native Universal code for both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Mac devices regardless of where they were downloaded from (i.e.,Mac App Store, or ). 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. Mac users with automatic updates enabled in Microsoft 365 will automatically receive the updated apps starting today.
