Text Prediction Off by Default in Outlook

Message ID: MC1093235

We’re updating the default setting for the Text Prediction feature in Outlook to improve user control and reduce unintended suggestions. This change affects New Outlook for Windows, Outlook on the web, and Outlook for iOS and Android.

[When this will happen:]

This change will begin rolling out on July 1, 2025.

[How this affects your organization:]

Text Prediction will be turned off by default for all users, including those who currently have it enabled. After the change, users will no longer see predictive text suggestions while composing email messages unless they manually re-enable the feature in Outlook settings.

[What you can do to prepare:]

Admins should be prepared to inform users of this change and guide them to re-enable Text Prediction if desired. Users can turn the feature back on by navigating to:

Outlook on the web: Settings > Mail > Compose and reply > Text predictions
New Outlook for Windows: Settings > Mail > Compose > Text predictions
Outlook mobile: Settings > Account > Compose options > Text predictions
