Description

Note: 
This is not a deprecation of the ArcGIS Survey123 product, but deprecation of the current generation 3.x Survey123 field app and Survery123 Connect desktop app. A new generation for both apps is under development.

A new generation of the ArcGIS Survey123 field app (iOS, Android, Windows) and the Survey123 Connect desktop app are under development that will bring an updated modern design, new functionality, and stability to the product. The current generation ArcGIS Survey123 field app for iOS, Android, and Windows and Survey123 Connect for desktop are being deprecated and will be retired at a future date, yet to be determined.

Recommendation

To ensure customers are successful in using Survey123 without significant interruptions to projects and workflows, Esri recommends the following steps:

  • Participate in preview or beta testing
    • As soon as the beta or preview releases are available for the next generation Survey123 apps, it is important that customers test their existing forms and workflows. This will help them check compatibility and identify any gaps. Being proactive now will help customers plan for a seamless transition to the next-generation Survey123 apps.
  • Migrate to the new app promptly
    • Migrate to the next generation Survey123 field app and Survey123 Connect desktop app when it is released in 2026. Make sure to test forms and workflows to ensure they function as expected with the new app. If needed, consider adjusting forms and workflows to enhance compatibility.
  • Conduct thorough testing
    • When implementing an OS update, Esri recommends following best practices by upgrading one device initially and ensuring the software, including Survey123, functions properly before proceeding with the OS upgrade on all devices.
