    @Outlook Hi, are there any reported issues with Outlook app on iOs devices? All of my users are complaining about freezing of the app and extremely lagging while scrolling through the app. The calendar icon within app is very slow to respond. Please help!

  • kcappleguy Chris Huff (@kcappleguy) reported

    @Outlook @theslimshadyist Exact same issue here.

    @Outlook Help, plz: Images in emails not loading, just empty boxes. On Win10 pc w/Firefox, on Mac Book w/Chrome, and on Win10 pc w/Edge, same problem. "Load image in other tab" not offered as option right-clicking.

  • ChronSyn Scott Pritchard (Powered by Copilot) (@ChronSyn) reported

    Man, the recent issue of @Outlook 365 freezing when switching between inboxes is really starting to grind my gears. Everything was fine until about a month ago. Now it hangs for 30-60 seconds whenever I change inboxes.

  • itsbarn Brandon Muniz (@itsbarn) reported

    @Outlook Do you have an ETA yet for when the issue with images rendering in Hotmail will be fixed? It's been awhile now.

  • jentas1 Jentas (@jentas1) reported

    @Outlook So, took a buddy’s advice, and found if I removed the app through Settings - General - Storage instead of long pressing the screen and hitting remove app, my issue is now resolved. Thank you so much for getting back to me though. I really appreciate you taking the time!!!

  • PaulSvL Paul Storm van Leeuwen (@PaulSvL) reported

    @Chef050 @Outlook Interesting. My last app update for Outlook was two days ago and until the iOS 15 update it worked just fine. The Exchange Online back-end is not the issue, since I have a work account in the regular iOS app and that works fine.

  • thomasbsalvini thomas b salvini 📚🌈 (@thomasbsalvini) reported

    @Outlook The last two days emails viewed on a PC do not display images that are embedded. These are from businesses that have images as part of their email. Help on Outlook acknowledges issue but still no resolve. Any update?

  • Eoin_Houlihan Eoin Houlihan (@Eoin_Houlihan) reported
