Microsoft announced general availability of its AI-powered Designer app for iOS and Android on July 17, 2024. It lets people with a personal Microsoft account create images from text prompts and make designs or photo edits on a phone. The current app-store descriptions list capabilities including stickers, background removal, object erasing and collages; availability and features can vary by platform and region.

What Microsoft announced

On July 17, 2024, Microsoft said Designer was generally available with a personal Microsoft account and launched it as a free mobile app for iOS and Android. Sumit Chauhan, then identified as President of Microsoft’s Office Product Group, wrote: “Designer is now available as a free mobile app (iOS and Android).” Microsoft’s announcement described creating images and designs from words and editing images while on the go.

What you can do with Designer on a phone

Microsoft’s store listings describe Designer as an AI-assisted tool for creating designs and editing photos. The listed functions differ somewhat by platform and are vendor descriptions, not independent performance findings.

Generate images and make designs

The Android listing includes generating images from text descriptions, creating banners and assembling collages. Apple’s US listing describes creating social posts and other designs, and lists templates. A prompt can be a starting point for a visual, while templates provide a prepared layout to customize.

Edit photos and create stickers

The Google Play listing names sticker creation, erasing unwanted objects, removing or blurring backgrounds, adding filters, adjusting brightness and resizing. Apple’s US listing version history records AI image-editing options such as erasing, cutting out, moving and focusing on parts of an image, as well as AI text rewriting. These are platform-listed features; the exact tools can change with app updates.

Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
  • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
  • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
  • 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.

  • 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)

Accounts, cost and availability

Microsoft’s current Android listing says Designer is free with a Microsoft account, notes 5 GB of free cloud storage for the account, and flags in-app purchases. That is not a promise that every feature or amount of use is free or unlimited. The 5 GB figure describes the account’s storage, not a Designer-only allowance. Store details can differ by platform and region.

The Android listing, last updated February 11, 2026, showed 5M+ downloads when accessed on September 27, 2026. This is Google Play’s displayed download band only, not an audited count of people or total installations across iOS and Android. Check the Google Play listing for current Android details. The US Apple App Store listing applies to that storefront; listings and version histories may differ elsewhere.

Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
  • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
  • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

Designer’s standalone mobile terms say the software relies on online services, which may not be available in every region. They authorize installation on iOS/iPadOS and Android devices and specify personal use rather than use in the course of trade or commerce. Check the terms and your local store listing for current availability and conditions.

Standalone Designer is not the same as Copilot Create

Microsoft also describes a separate Copilot Create workflow, which supports starting from text descriptions or templates and continuing work across mobile, web and desktop apps. Examples include a social post or newsletter banner. Do not confuse its eligibility rules with the standalone Designer app’s 2024 launch: Microsoft Support says an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription is needed for the Copilot Create feature, and notes that some Personal, Family, Premium and Pro capabilities have usage limits that can change. Microsoft’s Copilot Create guidance concerns that separate feature, not every use of the standalone mobile app.
