Looker Mobile (Legacy) support ends January 31, 2027
Support for the Looker Mobile (Legacy) app is discontinued and new downloads end January 31, 2027, though existing installations remain usable.
Who’s affected
Teams using Looker Mobile (Legacy) that need to install or reinstall it after January 31, 2027 must switch their mobile access plan.
Not affected: Users who already have the app installed can continue using it after support ends.
What it costs
No price change is stated. The main impact is migration effort for users who need a fresh installation, since the app will no longer be available for download.
When to act
