ArcGIS Companion Mobile App Retirement

Description

The ArcGIS Companion mobile app will be officially retired and removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on January 1, 2026.

This decision is due to the app's limited usage among customers and the retirement of the underlying technology, ArcGIS AppStudio. Additionally, the app was primarily designed for administrative tasks within ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise; however, the need for such functionality has significantly decreased with the enhancements made to the mobile web experiences of these products.
