In my outlook app on iPhone as well as in de desktop version of Outlook there is a pop-up of Copilot 'summary' on EVERY email I open.
It's annoying the **** out of me and I want to get rid of this ai-function that I never asked for.
I have Microsoft 365 family.
In settings on the app as well as desktop version there is nothing to be found to remove this.
Where do I get rid of this **** function?

Outlook | MacOS | New Outlook for Mac | For business

    Agreed! It is obnoxious and presumptuous - as if I don't know what to say or can't compose a simple sentence,

    As a result, I use Gmail as my primary email, and only use Outlook to reply to messages from friends.

    When Copilot startet popping up here and there and everywhere, I cancelled my subscription of 365 Family, installed LibraOffice, and have been working in that since.

    Mostly it's much better, a few things are annoying, but I can get used to that - and guess they will fix it, because they listen to their users... No turning back...

    2 hard decisions need to be made; what to do with my eMail name and my eMail client? To get out of the claws of MS, I must change my eMail name, new provider will be ProtonMail, safe and secure, and their client matches Outlook. Probably not cheaper, but I guess a more stable and customer driven solution, which I believe in. Now I must change my eMail name here and there and everywhere, but hopefully this is the last time.....

    Important piece of info to note, however ... it won't switch to the CLASSIC version until your next renewal date, unless you completely cancel everything and set up a new account at the time you get rid of the AI version.

    Log into your Microsoft account. https://account.microsoft.com/account/

    Go to your subscription, choose manage, and then choose cancel, it will give you the option of choosing Microsoft 365 Family CLASSIC (also works for individual accounts). Don't panic when you click cancel. It will take you to a page to tell you what you are cancelling but it also shows you other options for subscriptions. That is where you switch to Microsoft 365 Family CLASSIC. Saves you money but won't change until your current subscription year is over.
