Disabling Add-in Reporting Options
Users accustomed to the previous add-in reporting options may face difficulties adapting to the new built-in reporting buttons, potentially leading to increased support requests and decreased user satisfaction.

| 2025-01-30 | MC Title | Microsoft Outlook for iOS/Android: New reporting buttons integrated with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 | (Updated) Microsoft Outlook for iOS/Android: New reporting buttons integrated with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 |
| 2025-01-30 | MC How Affect | Information to keep in mind:
Microsoft OWA (Outlook on the Web) and the new Microsoft Outlook for Windows have had this functionality since November 2022. This rollout to iOS/Android does not change or affect that functionality. Classic Microsoft Outlook for Windows client has had this functionality in current channel since August 2024. Learn more: MC841229 (Updated) Classic Microsoft Outlook for Windows: New reporting buttons integrated with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (published July 2024, updated October 2024). Microsoft Outlook for Mac released this functionality in September 2024. If you have turned off the reporting feature in the Microsoft 365 Defender User reported settings page or are using a third-party add-in, the report buttons in Outlook for Android/iOS won't be visible. The Microsoft reporting add-in (the Microsoft report message add-in and Microsoft phishing add-in) will be supported till further notice. The future goal is to have a consistent button reporting experience across all Outlook platforms. If you are using Microsoft reporting add-ins in Outlook for iOS/Android, your users will see two reporting experiences: one from the built-in Outlook buttons (added by this rollout) and one from the add-in. Both options will behave the same for users (except for the newly customizable pop-ups) and the reported messages will end up in the same place, causing minimal disruption. The selections you make on the user reported settings page will determine the reporting experience for your users (whether they choose the add-in or built-in reporting option in Outlook). Either option will report to the same place (Microsoft, custom mailbox, or both) based on your User reported settings. Like OWA and new Outlook for Windows, the built-in reporting button in Outlook for iOS/Android supports reporting from shared and delegate mailboxes. This change is available by default. | Information to keep in mind:
