Summary:
Outlook for iOS and Android is introducing a new setting for automatically advancing to the next email after actions like delete or archive, instead of going back to the message list. Rollout begins mid-August 2024 for iOS and late October 2024 for Android. Users must enable this feature in Settings.

Details:
Currently, after taking an action like delete or archive on a Microsoft Outlook email, users are returned to the message list. With this rollout, we are adding a setting that will allow users to choose to advance to the next email after instead of returning to the message list.

iOS General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.
Android: General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.
