Reply All is default in new version. Default to reply, not reply all in add message
The default in the replying to a message is Reply All. This default should be able to be changed, otherwise we are going to have a lot of people accidentally replying all to mass emails / the entire org when they only meant to respond to the original sender.

This default is creating email storms within email servers now. There is more people using mobile devices now with phones and tablets than actual computers. Having Reply All as a default and no way to change it except by each email shows to me that no real exchange administrator or the Exchanget group in Microsoft was consulted. This needs to change that should be a default there should be a setting in the app for the user to decide that, The default in the app should be Reply.

"Reply All" should Never be the Default option. This can create huge issue for privacy or sensitive communications especially for large organizations using this app for business applications. At the very least there should be an option to choose the default in the settings. Frankly, this makes it unusable. I work for the legislature and cannot afford this type of mistake if you accidentally forget or miss the correct option by accidentally pressing the wrong option. Unacceptable. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

The outlook app on my iPhone defaults to “reply all” for email. Such a bad idea. Default should just be reply to sender. I can’t find any option for fixing that in settings

Hi
Please could a default option to choose between reply or reply all be added?
Many thanks

It's ruining my life. Sometimes if I switch between apps/devices it'll switch back even if I've already chosen to reply to an individual. Please add a feature where the default reply can be switched between reply all and regular reply.

My federal government branch is undergoing a problem with this default setting of "Reply" button secretly hidden as a "Reply All". We just moved from Gmail to Outlook. Service-wide emails are clogging our system, and individuals don't know about this obscure default setting. The matter is becoming a major annoyance today service-wide.

This is the absolute worst default setting I have ever seen. As many have said "Reply-to-All" should never be the standard default. This must be updated to allow a user to set their choice but make the DEFAULT be "Reply". If a user has a functional need to have the default be Reply-to-All let them set it in the settings. Good grief I can change the appearance from default to light to dark but not the MOST used feature of email after the Delete function? Way to go Microsoft! DOH!

Microsoft are obviously not considering users feedback after two years worth. As they have been unable to include an option to change reply all to reply the app is too risky. I have now scrapped the MS Office app for this one reason otherwise it was quite useful.

Reply all on an E-Mail should not be the default selection when replying to an E-Email. The sender should actively select it in order to minimize the risk to spread information unintended.

An otherwise great app is terrible due to this one feature! Please fix this so I can use the app without worrying that I will accidentally send sensitive info to too many people!

It seems as though “Reply All” is the default. It takes an extra click or two to only reply to the sender, so is resulting in a lot of people receiving emails that aren’t intended for them because people don’t realize they’re replying to all instead of just the sender.
Please make this an option with the iOS and Android apps.

FIX THIS NOW! NO ONE...I MEAN NO. ONE. WANTS ‘REPLY ALL’ AS THE DEFAULT.
If you accidentally reply to one person and not everyone in the group, that’s an easy fix. If you accidentally reply all when you intended to reply to one person, there is no going back. I hate everything about this setting. Just fix it.

This is a complete ****. HR: "hey everyone update your timesheet". accidental reply-all Me: "Ok , this is my login info, just approve my staff's time sheet for this week...."
If you're **** bent on this being a default, at least make it a toggle switch in options to let us choose whether we want to run the risk of reply-all default. You don't use reply-all as the default in the outlook for desktop app or the web app, why did you do this in the ios app?

Change the "Reply all" as default back to "Reply" - immediately
Comments why are in fact unnecessary!
