Anyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge

@Microsoft @Office @Outlook Why does Outlook for Mac always have non-stop issues? Why is my desktop app unable to Sync or connect for hours, sometimes even the entire day, multiple times per month? There's some MAJOR issues inside Outlook for Mac OS and it's not just mine.

@Outlook Are there issues with Outlook on iOS 26.4? I’ve been getting delayed notifications for a couple weeks. The email will show in my inbox, but I’ll get the iOS notification a couple minutes after.

@keeganlanier @Outlook I haven’t noticed it myself as I use Outlook on my iPad Pro with a M365 account. Are you connecting to Exchange server or another email provider such as Google or iCloud? I am thinking it could be a sync issue with IMAP or something along those lines.

@Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

@Outlook Can't message you. So I'll have to post this. My phone of 8yrs just died so I got a new one. Tried to sign in multiple times but no joy with password, couldn't use authenticator as no password. Been locked out of my email account that I've had for 25yrs. Help please.

@Outlook If there is a prize for damaging a perfectly working app with a new version much worse than before, you stand in the first place as a contender. Many useful features are gone. New version is slow & unfriendly. I can't go back as it can't connect to my Google A/C !

@Outlook I think everyone who has a complaint about Microsoft (because I can not be the only one), and their lack of customer service and related productivity issues should get together and let’s Sue them. I have paid multiple times for this ****

@Outlook Dear Microsoft. I’m locked out of my personal email, my authentication on my phone is linked as recovery for my business email. I get a prompt to enter my mobile so I can get a text to be greeted with ‘it’s not working right now’. I have forgotten my password and have tried countless hours trying to get my personal email up and running… one course of action was encountering AI chat which was useless! I am at the end of my tether now as it’s been over a month of trying and as you can appreciate, it’s incredibly disruptive. I have some very important personal emails that I can’t now access! I can’t speak to a human so how can you remedy this?

Hey @Outlook wtf is up with your tech support. I call because my email was hacked and the hacker was locking me out of other accounts and buying nearly $2k of Walmart gift cards. When I reached out for help your tech heard my problem then hung up. Now no one at tech won’t call because the one that flaked on me when I needed him most flagged my phone number (the one that’s been on file for years)

Gmail search doesn't work. Outlook is far better and if it's not working, you Exchange administrator is doing a bad job. —Current unhappy @Gmail user and former Exchange administrator and intensive @Outlook user.

Over 10 lockouts and endless appeals later, @Outlook is officially the most "secure" account I own—mostly because even I can't get into it. @Microsoft , please fix this verification loop. It’s exhausting.
