Outlook has made a small but significant change to its email interface by relocating the send button. Previously, the send button was positioned at the bottom of the compose view, which could lead to accidental sends, especially when users were typing quickly or navigating through a crowded toolbar. Now, the send button has been moved to the header of the compose view.

Think of it like rearranging your desk at work. If your stapler is too close to the edge, you might accidentally knock it off while reaching for a pen. By moving the stapler to a more central and less cluttered spot, you reduce the chances of it falling. Similarly, by relocating the send button to a less crowded area, Outlook helps users avoid unintentional taps, making email sending more deliberate and reducing the likelihood of errors.

This change is applicable across various platforms, including Android and iOS, and is designed to enhance the user experience by making email composition smoother and more controlled.
