Outlook for Android notifications stopped working

Outlook for Android notifications stopped popping up around January 10, 2024. Emails are syncing properly but no notifications are coming up. Calendar and support notifications do show up properly and timely. Also, random email notifications appear from time to time (~1 in 100 emails) without a specific pattern as to why they show up.

Device: Pixel 8 Pro (updated)

App: Outlook (current version)

Account: Personal (Microsoft 365 Personal subscription)

Attempted troubleshooting steps:

  • Checked notification setting and enabled / disabled each notification type in app and in Android settings
  • Tested push notification in app and provided screenshot to mobile support team (most of the time test is successful sometimes it does time out)
  • Cleared storage & cache / deleted account / reinstalled app
  • Restarted device and tested with / without wi-fi
  • Installed Outlook Lite and all notifications are working properly (emails arrive at the same time in both apps but Outlook does not generate a notification)

I have a ticket open with support for about a week now but so far no progress.

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if you found a fix.

    Hi Bob, Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconveniences, I see you've exhausted most of the troubleshooting, restart your device as that will assist in fixing Outlook services in the background.

    Hi Sola - thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I did restart my phone numerous times and I also tested with and without wifi without success.

    I downloaded dynamic spot and just enabled outlook for its notifications. It's a work around, but very annoying. Hope they fix this issue soon.

    Having the same issue as of yesterday on my GalaxyS23. No changes have occurred, just stopped out of nowhere. My last software update was on 4/14 and was working fine up until yesterday. Checked all notification settings within device and app, deleted and readded Outlook app. I also attempted the Outlook Lite workaround and still no notifications.
