Outlook: Support for recommended and automatically applied sensitivity labels in Outlook for iOS and Android

Outlook for iOS and Android will support recommended and automatic sensitivity labels during email composition, aligning with Microsoft Purview Information Protection policies. This rollout starts mid-March 2026, is on by default for organizations with existing policies, and requires no changes to current Purview configurations. Outlook for iOS and Android is adding support for recommended and automatically applied sensitivity labels when you compose an email on your mobile device. With this release, we are extending Recommended Labels to Outlook mobile (iOS and Android), providing the same labeling experience users already have in Outlook on the desktop and web. For recommended labels, you’ll see a prompt to review and apply the suggested label. For automatic labels, they will be applied without needing any action from you. This ensures alignment with your organization’s Microsoft Purview Information Protection labeling policies when sensitive information is detected.
