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

    Thank you! This worked! I hope these companies will soon figure out that customers HATE this kind of garbage. Why do they think anyone would want Artificial Idiot nonsense slowing down their productivity.

    Yeah, there is no such option within my manage subscription either. Can't find any way to shut the garbage off. I don't want it, it's very annoying and I don't need it.

    Microsoft is raising prices for your current Microsoft 365 plan and include copilot as part of the price increase.

    You have to downgrade to a lower plan which doesn't include copilot.

    To, without customer approval, upgrade and bill for an additional optional feature, forcing the customer to cancel their subscription and restart the same subscription with a different name, may be legal, at the least is a terribly ethically challenged business practice. IMHO quite unscrupulous. Surely the elite business and law schools are not teaching the mentioned MSFT and GOOG marketing practices as reasonable and ethical. Are they?

    I don't see it, either. It doesn't give me the option to switch to classic. I removed it from two different places in my apps, but it's still there. This is the most annoying thing Microsoft has done to date. I've spent the last two days watching videos and trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
