Hello,

Can you please give simple & short steps for how to change my MOBILE APP Outlook font back to calibri? I don't want the new aptos on my phone. FYI, I've already changed everything on my desktop, but aptos persists on the mobile app/phone.

Thanks very much in advance!

    Has this been rolled out yet? I do not see the option for setting a default in the mobile app. How do I get the default set to Arial 11. iPhone 14.

    I had this issue and just found this thread. Now, I do see that, apparently, Microsoft is fixing this terrible issue with their mobile app. Not sure why it took so long or even why choosing the font for emails was not implemented from the beginning. In the meantime, until they fix this, I found a workaround that is pretty easy to use, but you need to be able to use Outlook on a computer, unless your signature is already the correct font.

    If your signature is the font you want, for example, you end your email with "Best regards," and the font is Arial 10, then you can go to your signature on Outlook on your mobile and go to 'Settings' and then 'Signatures'. From there, select after the 'B", type 'Hi" or however you start your emails, and then hit return twice and type 'B' so it says 'Best regards,' again. Select in between 'BH' and delete the 'B'. Now when you compose an email, the email will start above your signature, just select in front of 'Hi' and press backspace twice to delete the two lines that get inserted above your signature. Then you just start your email after 'Hi'. This will then compose your email in whatever font you want by using your signature font and override the 12 point Aptos font that Microsoft thinks looks nice in emails.

    If you do not have your signature starting with the font you want your emails in, then you just need to go to Outlook on the computer and add this to your signature. Then you should be able to do the workaround.

    In relation to Pentergasts information:

    "All- according to the Weekly Digest from Microsoft, they are changing this back in October. Thank you very much Microsoft for listening!

    (Updated) Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android: Choose fonts while composing

    MC847877 | September 18 - Microsoft Outlook for iOS and Android will soon support choosing fonts while composing emails, with the rollout starting mid-September 2024 and expected to complete by early October 2024. This update is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 409969. Organizations may want to inform users and update documentation accordingly."

    I do not know when this will take place and if every mobile device that uses the Microsoft family will be rectified. It's a compete nightmare trying to keep the Calibri font consistant. Hopefully it will not be long before it's implemented.
