how can I remove the ads from my email in outlook on my android phone?

I have a paid subscription to Microsoft 365.

In Outlook on my pixel, I am seeing ads that I don't see on my notebook or desktop device.

If I delete 1 ad, another replaces it.

This is a new (less than a week) happening.

It's annoying, especially since I pay for Microsoft 365 and have for many years.

Thanks,

Sally

    Is there a reason why Microsoft still haven't sorted this? The original question was posted in early June. More than 2 months later and they haven't got a fix. I've been pretty loyal to Microsoft so far but this is making me angry and I'm considering not renewing my subscription again.

    I have the same problem although interestingly only on my Android phone and not on my Windows 11 machine. I have a fully paid up subscription for MS 365 but still have it and the correct address is registered !!!!!!!

    I think I had to create and outlook.com email address that I don't use for anything as an MS365 alias. Nuts but what it is.

    Louis.Yang-MFST Your reply to this issue that many of us are experiencing, really wasn't very helpful.

    As far as I'm aware, there's no such thing as "free outlook" for anyone. You have to have a Microsoft account which we have all paid for, therefore all privileges which are accredited to our pc's, tablets or laptops, should also apply to our mobile phones.

    This issue is now becoming very annoying to all of us.

    Please ask Microsoft to fix it.

    Many thanks

    Michele

    I managed to "fix'" this in June. You MUST have an "outlook.com" account/email address~~, such as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***~~. You need to enter that as an "alias" in your Microsoft account, where all your MSstuff is. Your extra storage subscriptions, your OneDrive account, your payment methods, and your MS 365 subscription, etc.

    The SOLUTION was received in June after struggling for a month or so that I received from Microsoft follows. REMEMBER, I am just the messenger.

    To be FREE you MUST have an outlook.com account. It's a @#%&! but these instructions eventually work:

    Why am I seeing ads with a Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Basic subscription on a non-Outlook email address?

    Your ad-free subscription benefits apply automatically for all Outlook.com accounts, including those ending in outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, and msn.com*. They also apply automatically for Gmail accounts. If you have a different 3rd party email address, we are not able to detect your subscription automatically. However, you can get your ad-free benefit using the instructions below.*

    1. Log into https://account.microsoft.com using the email address where you purchased the subscription.
    2. Click on “Your Info” at the top.
    3. Next to the “Account info” header click on “Edit account info.” You may be prompted to log in again.
    4. You’ll see a list of account aliases. Click on “Add email” to add a new alias.
    5. Create a new Outlook.com email address by selecting, “Create a new email address and add it as an alias.”

    Once you’ve followed the steps to create your new Outlook.com email address, you canadd it as an account in Outlook. Adding this account will grant your ad-free Outlook benefit.

    It works but what a user-hostile bunch of @#%&!
