Excel is freezing under iOS 18.6.2. Excel been working under iOS 18.6.2 before it was upgraded to Excel 2.102.2. Do I need to upgrade iOS to 26?

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

No, Excel 2.102.2 doesn’t require iOS 26. The freezing issue you’re seeing is actually a known bug in the latest Excel update, and it’s not related to your iOS version.

Just to understand better, does Excel freeze right when you open it, or only after working on a file for a while?

Also, have you already tried any troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the app or restarting your device?

Thank you for letting me know.

I suggest reinstalling the app. Before uninstalling, please make sure your files are safely stored in OneDrive or the cloud so you don’t lose any data. After reinstalling, sign back in and check if the issue persists.

If it still freezes afterward, I’d recommend reporting the issue directly through the app by going to Settings > Help & Feedback > Send Feedback, this helps Microsoft track and fix the bug in upcoming updates.

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
