Microsoft Cortana was no longer supported on both Android and iOS devices.
Microsoft officially announced that its Cortana virtual assistant was no longer supported on both Android and iOS devices.
In a report on Gizchina, Microsoft’s Cortana on Android and iOS platforms had ceased service on March 31, 2021. However, the company’s voice assistant will still continue operation on Windows 10.
As explained in the support page of Microsoft Cortana, the Cortana mobile app was no longer supported starting March 31. In addition, the Cortana app on the phone would no longer provide list and reminder functions.
However, Microsoft’s To Do app can automatically synchronize Cortana’s lists, reminders, and tasks. You can download Microsoft’s To Do app for free on Android and iOS devices.

Cortana was the Microsoft version of Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. It was an artificial intelligence-based personal assistant that can complete small tasks and can answer questions.
The Cortana mobile app was first launched last November 2018 but never gained a large enough user base in its short life. As such, Microsoft believed that it wasn’t worth maintaining.
Last July 2020, the Redmond company stated that it would shift to a “transformative AI-driven assistant experience” in its Microsoft 365 applications.
