Microsoft Word app isn't available in the App Store

I previously installed Microsoft Word, but I don't see it currently installed on my iPhone. I would like to install the app, but it isn't available in the App Store. I don't even see it listed to download from the cloud or via the "Get" button. Any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?

I don’t understand why an article on the internet can’t be opened in MS Word for ipad if it can be opened in other document apps like Bear, Notes apps, etc. I get so frustrated that I can’t open articles on the internets in MS Word for ipad. I get options for other document writing apps but not Word. I have to do a copy/paste and that is so time consuming and difficult to do. I have read that if the app you want in the “Open WIth” list isn’t there you have to make sure that app is basically compatible with the document you want to open. But someone said that they did this and also deleted the app and reinstalled it, like was told to do, but that didn’t work. I can’t believe in the year 2020 nobody has figured out how to allow Word to be in the lists of saving, opening, etc. Even if it is a pdf, Word can open pdfs. How do apps like LastPass, Brain Box, Nutstore be in the Open with list because they definitely aren’t compatible with an article on the internet. I think something is definitely wrong with why Apple won’t allow microsoft apps be in the save in or open with lists.

It is still in the App Store from my phone but it does require iOS 12 or later.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to download the app after updating the iOS. I guess I need to get on the ball with the updates more often. ;-)
