Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android: Clearer Copilot availability in multi-account experiences
Outlook for iOS and Android will update the Copilot button to clearly show availability in multi-account views if any account supports Copilot chat, hiding it in unsupported single-account views. This UI change, rolling out July 2026, does not affect licensing, eligibility, or features. No action required.
