Office 365 experience on iOS7 devices is changing

In case you have not seen this small note, it may not affect a lot of people but for those of you out there on older iOS devices or that supports those units in your organizations, it may be important.

Details (Official Microsoft statement):
Microsoft are making some changes to the Office apps on iOS 7 devices. Beginning when Apple releases iOS 9, they will release updates to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that will only work on iOS 8 and above. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote will no longer receive updates on iOS 7, but will continue to function with a degrading experience over time.
Microsoft strongly suggest communicating to your end users and recommend upgrading to iOS 8 or above.
