I read that the Creative Cloud mobile apps will be discontinued or not supported as of March 2026. Is this still the case?

The announcement you're referring to concerns the Creative Cloud mobile app, rather than all Adobe mobile applications.

Adobe ended support for the Creative Cloud mobile app on 2 February 2026 and officially discontinued it on 2 March 2026.

However, individual applications such as Illustrator on iPad, Photoshop and Fresco are separate and have not been discontinued as part of that announcement.

Adobe's official explanation is here:

Regarding your files, cancelling your subscription doesn't automatically delete them. Your Adobe account remains active, but your cloud storage allowance is reduced to 5 GB. If you're over that limit, Adobe gives you 30 days to reduce your storage usage, after which you risk losing access to some or all of your cloud files.

You can access your cloud files through https://www.adobe.com/files, although you'll lose access to paid editing features when your subscription ends.

I'd strongly recommend downloading and backing up your important files before cancelling, particularly if you're working exclusively on an iPad.

As for future development, Adobe hasn't announced the discontinuation of Illustrator on iPad as part of this change, although I couldn't say what new features Adobe has planned.

Hope that clears things up.

(Hope that it’s all accurate too! If it’s not please let me know if you find different info)
