Outlook iOS - Can the "reply all" vs. "reply" default settings be changed in the Outlook mobile app?

Hello,

This has been asked and answered previously, but the latest post I can find about it is a couple of years old, here:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/change-ios-app-default-from-reply-all-to-reply/2e12a351-8307-49b6-bd74-da94cfeaad1b

To briefly summarize the situation, I have a customer who is hoping to change the default behavior of his iPhone's Outlook application. Specifically, when he clicks reply on any thread (regardless of if it's one-to-one or one-to-many) he'd like the default to be a direct-reply, not a reply-all.
My understanding at this point is that this cannot be changed, and the default option will be reply-all for any messages with more than one recipient. However, as I stated previously it's been a couple of years and I thought I'd see if see inexorable march of technological innovation had changed that state of affairs.
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @TravisCorley-2515,

Welcome to our forum.

Please first understand here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client, I have researched a lot for your issues , according to my tests on outlook for ios (version 4.2128.0), the default reply settings is indeed "reply all" by default and I couldn't find the relevant settings to change it. In this case, as a suggestion, it's recommended to submit a feedback in your Outlook for ios.

If you still have any questions about Outlook for ios, please post it in dedicated outlook for ios forum, the reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thanks for your understanding and hope your question will be resolved soon.
