I hate that the Outlook Android app has ads that appear like unread emails, and as far as I know you can’t remove them (at least if you’re using a company-provided email).
Is that the Outlook coming from the Intune company portal app, or a personal install from the playstore and just adding an email they let you add? Sounds terrible. Most of the work I was doing as to had it all running through Intune, so I didn’t ever see that stuff. I could see how that would turn off most users. On our end just about every time security updates came out it would lock out the ability to access teams, outlook or anything until the updates were performed, and you logged back into the comp portal app to ensure the device was secure against whatever new threat there might be. So you’d have to set up confirm with 2 factors to get signed back in every couple months and require at least a pin to get into your emails.
Personal install from Playstore. I added my work email to Outlook on my personal phone, and I have it ignore notifications entirely outside of working hours. It works pretty great but there’s no way to remove the ads because it’s a work email, and the ads look like unread emails. It’s horrible and I can’t even do anything about it.
Yes, pretty much. It looks the same as regular unread emails except they identify them with “Ad”. It’s distracting and annoying and you can’t remove it.
Yeah that’s gross, from what I’m seeing Microsoft is saying if you do not have an email that is attached to a paid O365 account and have the free mobile app they fund it by those ads. If you do pay for the O365 subscription on your account or your work email is one Id try this:
Settings. Tap Security and Privacy >Privacy>Other Privacy Settings> Ads. Tap Reset Advertising ID and confirm your changes.
If that doesn’t work maybe uninstall the app and reinstall making sure the playstore is logged in with the email tied to the O365 account

Look like unread emails as in like spam emails?

That blows, curious if that does anything.
