Outlook for iOS and Android: Send button relocated to reduce accidental sends

Introduction To help reduce accidental message sends, Outlook mobile is updating the placement of the Send button in the compose view. The button will move from the bottom toolbar to the header area, placing it in a less crowded location. This change supports a more intentional and error-free messaging experience for mobile users by minimizing the likelihood of accidental taps. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 499900. When this will happen General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, and DoD): We will begin rolling out in early September 2025 and expect to complete by early March 2026. How this will affect your organization Once this change is deployed, users on Outlook mobile clients (Android and iOS) will see the Send button relocated to the top of the compose view. This update is designed to reduce accidental taps and improve usability. The feature will be enabled by default.
