    I don't think this is a Microsoft issue. Samsung is Tweaking Android a little for this to happen.

    So for now I am using the Samsung Mail app POP/IMAP/365 work great, attachments work fine as well.

    Work around is using Samsungs Mail App

    No one is listening at Microsoft...it's a problem with Outlook...all other platforms attach a pix as a file but Outlook embeds inline. It's crazy. I just don't understand why this can't be fixed now.

    Hi Craig,

    Based on the description that you provided, this is how attaching images or files works in Outlook for Android. However, we would like to hear from you. We encourage you to post your request on UserVoice, under the appropriate category, or vote and add your comments to similar requests. We’re listening and we really appreciate your feedback.

    Regards.

    Hi Andree,

    I don't understand why this "feature" has been put in the outlook app. For me, it has rendered the app completely useless - people are unable to retrieve my attempted-attachments which are embedded against my will. PLEASE FIX!!!! (and let me know when you do because until then I'm switching email apps).

    Just found a fix to the problem I was having

    Outlook app not attaching photo images as attachments 

    I just deleted the mobile app (I don't use it anyway) 

    Log in through your android browser as if your on a PC 

    Go to attachment

    Photo from gallery

    Documents

    Then gallery again

    Pic your image & attach

    This should be a lot simpler

    But it works
