Microsoft will retire the Microsoft Feed app from Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android starting May 1, 2025 and ending by late May, 2025.

Users of your organization will no longer be able to access the Feed tab in Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android. The Feed app will disappear from the bottom of the screen for users who had pinned it there. The Feed app will no longer be available in the Apps list for pinning.

As an alternative to the Feed, we recommend using Copilot in Microsoft Outlook. Other alternatives that recommend content similar to the Feed:

  • The Files app in Microsoft Outlook
  • The Microsoft OneDrive app for iOS and Android
  • The Recommended section on Microsoft365.com
  • The For you section in OneDrive on web

This change will happen automatically on the specified dates and no specific actions are required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
