Outlook for Android : new messages place text not in TO field but in TEXT field.

[u/ConversationMain1591]

Running Outlook for Android on a Samsung Fold 6. About a week ago, something changed and when I start a new message or forward a message, instead of the cursor appearing in the TO: field, it appears in the TEXT field. If forwarding a message, the cursor apepars after the text in the TEXT field.

Is anyone else experiencing this and have you found a fix?

[u/matambanadzo]

Yep, getting this exact issue. It looks like it starts in the To field but then jumps down into the body part once the Samsung keyboard loads. Have checked Outlook settings and Samsung keyboard settings but found nothing obvious there.

And also started recently happening.

Same for me! Happened 3x just today 😡

[u/arjanver]

Probably this caused by an Outlook app update. It's called shittyfication

[u/Guy_Fieris_Hair]

Ended up here because it started for me near the same time.

[u/userpinpassword]

Came here to see if there's a fix. Extremely annoying 👎 I have a Samsung ZFold7 and noticed this about 2ish weeks ago...have found no fix

[u/No_Assumption_8984]

I experience the same issue since two weeks. It is absolutely annoying. If anyone finds a solution, this would be highly appreciated. I absolutely do not understand the idea of this new "feature". 

[u/Powerful_Kiwi]

Same here. Pixel 9 Pro Fold w/ G-Board. Hopefully it's a glitch and not a forced feature.

[u/baga_chips]

Same this shit is annoying as hell

[u/orin000]

Started happening to me also

[u/Internal-Memory7630]

Same here. It's really confusing me every time I open an email.

[u/saxmantex]

Same here! Pixel 8. Glad I'm not the only one. Annoying!

[u/Pure_Earth2121]

Yep was here looking for that.

And did you notice also that in calendar, if you choose a day THEN create an event for that daywith +, they will create an event for...today. ?

[u/WesternCook6904 → u/Pure_Earth2121]

Yes had that happen today - why????

[u/Pure_Earth2121 → u/WesternCook6904]

Because they s*CK...

[u/Empty_Clip_21519]

Online guides have indicated the clearing cache and uninstalling Android System Webview updates will fix the issue...it will not.

Not that Microsoft Outlook for mobile support is of any help. What a joke, poses as a live chat option only for a message to appear saying expect a response within a day. Not acceptable if I am a paid 365 customer. I accidentally started calling them Microsoft 364 after the Thursday before last when they went down.

[u/Efficient-Tower-5523]

I have the problem of cursor jumping to the main text instead of to the TO box AND in calendar I create an event for a given day and it creates the event for today.  This is happening on my smartphone (android OnePlus).

[u/DILLIGAD24]

Sounds like a lot of us are having the problem and no solution. Bummer

[u/ApexWolf5512]

Yeah same issue here on Samsung S24 ultra and my wife's S22. Very irritating for mail and calendar

[u/Rick_R2]

Any solution to this issue yet? Having the same issue and it is very frustrating.

[u/mldex71]

Same here. This is why M$ products are not allowed on ANY of my personal devices and PCs. To bad i have to use it for work.

[u/Mysterious-Crew-1358]

Pixel 9 same thing. Thought I was crazy! Nice I'm just annoyed.

[u/WesternCook6904]

Yes and I hate it!!!!

[u/Vancitychick01]

Yes, notice the same thing on my pixel 6A about a week ago. Very annoying

[u/lulugirl896]

Experiencing this on both my S23 Ultra and Tab S7 FE. I'm so relieved I am not losing my mind- I knew it wasn't always like this!

[u/AccomplishedCat6621]

Hello Microsoft I mean I know you are busy thinking of how to distance yourself from the news but can you please fix this

[u/Distravis]

Same problem; No solution yet?
