Microsoft 365 (Outlook Mobile App) - Turn "Organize by Thread" Off

The default view setting in the Outlook mobile app is different from its behavior on the web or the installed application on a computer. It defaults to organizing email by thread which arranges messages as conversational threads based on the Subject of the message. While some users find this feature convenient, others find it difficult to locate and respond to certain emails quickly as it collapses the content within a conversation thread. As a result, some students and faculty have missed important messages related to class content and exams. Users have the option to change this view setting if they wish.
