Microsoft's Office app for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDFs, now with Copilot, preinstalled on many Galaxy phones. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

This is Microsoft's all-in-one Office app, first called Office, then Microsoft 365 (Office) and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and now listed on Google Play as Microsoft Copilot. It opens and edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and PDFs and includes Microsoft's Copilot assistant. Samsung preinstalls it on recent Galaxy phones, including the Galaxy S26 series. It runs only while open, apart from file sync.

Also shown as Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 (Office), Office.

If you disable it

Nothing beyond the app itself. Your documents stay in OneDrive or on the phone.

How to disable it

Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > Microsoft 365 Copilot > Disable.

Disable it (reversible)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.microsoft.office.officehubrow

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.microsoft.office.officehubrow

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

Restore after an uninstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.microsoft.office.officehubrow

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
