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

    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.

    If you 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). These are the versions that don't include Copilot. Just did it myself.

    Wonderful…so…I followed your instructions but couldn’t find the screen that gave a user the choice to change the subscription to “classic”. Apple 15+ latest IOS 18.xxx
