    Dear @MicrosoftTeams, please take your own time in fixing things. Even if it takes a week, we're ok to wait coz a permanent fix is important than time. If possible, please also shutdown @Outlook @Office365 :) #TeamsDown #microsoftteamsdown

    @Office @Outlook why is it so hard to select my time zone in IOS 15??? Ridiculous. This should be an easy fix. You need to update all your help materials

  • ftp_alun Alun Jones (@ftp_alun) reported

    @Outlook is so screwed up when it comes to recurring meetings. Moving some occurrences? No problem. Shortening / lengthening the sequence? All occurrences are moved back to their original time. Adding / removing an attendee? All occurrences are moved back to their original time.

  • Adam_Hosker Hosker (@Adam_Hosker) reported

    @AlainDesmier @Outlook I don't use it but hold down the CTRL button as you click calendar.

  • vickyjo Victoria Walberg (@vickyjo) reported

    @IntuneSuppTeam @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams Any update please? I tried reinstalling earlier this week and it was still broken. I saw lots more negative reviews on the Play store indicating this was still an issue. It is CP - removing Outlook didn't chang/fix the problem with Adobe, removing CP resolved it (again). Thanks

    If anyone knows anyone at @Microsoft on the @Office @Outlook team, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the search shortcut buttons! ... You used to be able to highlight a word, click "from" (or other buttons) and it wraps it around the highlighted word. It's been broken now for years :(

  • sopphiexxx Soph (@sopphiexxx) reported

    @Outlook I haven’t received any emails in a few days, nor can I send them. On my Mail app on my iPhone it says ‘account error’, I have tried deleting and signing in again and it is still the same. Nothing new is coming through on the app or on browser either. Please help 😫

  • SmoggyLamb49 SmoggyLamb (@SmoggyLamb49) reported

    Hey @Microsoft! Do you want me to dump this @Outlook app from my Android phone, too!? Then quit asking me to sign in to my Hotmail account every 15 minutes! Where's the option for "keep me signed on"!?

  • itsnira_ ś (@itsnira_) reported

    I also need @Outlook to be down right now!

  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @microsoft... is @Outlook scrambled today or am I personally blessed to have my mail not communicating with my laptop, but working fine on my mobile? Thought I'd check before I sell a piece of my soul to connect to corporate IT, in light of yesterday's Teams outage.

  • DrieseJanssen Dries Janssen (@DrieseJanssen) reported

    @Outlook @TomAtTesco I am having similar issues on my iPhone and the app closes the moment I open it up. Is it a widespread outage?
