Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I edit documents in Microsoft 365 on my OnePlus Pad?
Microsoft policy requires a paid Microsoft 365 subscription to unlock editing features on mobile devices with screens larger than 10.1 inches. Since the OnePlus Pad has an 11.61-inch display, you can only view documents unless you purchase a subscription or activate a trial.
Is there a free trial for Microsoft 365 on Android tablets?
Yes. If you have not used Microsoft 365 before, you are usually eligible for a 1-month free trial. You can activate this trial directly through the app upon your first login or by visiting microsoft.com/microsoft-365/try.
Can I use Microsoft 365 offline on my tablet?
Yes, once you have installed the app and signed in, you can view and edit files saved locally on your OnePlus Pad without an internet connection. However, you must connect to the internet at least once every 31 days to verify your subscription status.
What happens after my Microsoft 365 free trial ends?
Once the trial period ends, your payment method on file will be automatically charged according to the subscription plan you selected (e.g., Personal or Family). If you cancel before the trial ends, the app will revert to a read-only viewer on your tablet.
