I would like to be able to disable Expressions. I turned off the beta solely because I can't disable the expressions. Let me know when you have the feature added and I'll re-join the beta. Thanks.

Joyful animations? Seriously? Please disable that by default. One of the help desk I work with just blew up with people complaining about the unprofessional emails being sent.

As of December 2019, the issue has not been fixed.
Outlook automatically inserts smileys and emojis based on characters typed.
This behavior cannot be turned off through any of the "Compose and reply"Outlook options.
PLEASE DISABLE THIS ANNOYING B.S. KIDDIE FEATURE ALREADY.

I seriously consider ditching my Hotmail account because of this feature highlighting "Thank you". This is just terrible. Pls fix this issue.

Whenever I type ":" followed by a newline, a smiley is inserted. I find this to be quite annoying. Please add an option to disable this feature.

While drafting an email words would be highlighted and spacing would not look right.
I have clicked the highlighted section and went to expressions. Those are fun for texting and social media, not drafting a professional email.

What Philip noted on May 22 on how to remove that feature worked for me --
Thank God. I hated dealing with the blue text box around "thank you"s and other 'helpful' [suggestions. -

This doesn't work. Also FYI, the expressions "feature" breaks the layout of emails when using Outlook.com in Internet Explorer 11, which is so ironic, and so "Microsoft". Thanks for a broken feature that nobody wanted anyway.

The joyful animations feature is childish and absolutely ridiculous. It is even more ridiculous that this is a default option which requires one to manually turn off.

I liked the new Outlook, but I didn't know if every time I said "thank you" or "thanks" it was sending some kind of confetti thing to the person receiving the message. I want my emails to look professional so this feature was not always welcome. I looked for a way to turn it off, but couldn't find anything. Instead, I just reworded my emails so it didn't say "thank you." This is probably easily fixed, but I am not tech savvy. Otherwise, everything the new Outlook offered was great.

Stop adding animations to phrases like thank you and welcome. I changed it under the gear and it still happens. Just Stop! I use outlook as a professional email address. I do not need confetti blasting off for saying thank you (which is included in every email I send) If I wanted to add cute things to something I will. I followed the steps listed online in the help forum to stop the animations
>click gear
>click View all outlook settings
>click Compose and reply
>uncheck the box for "Joyful Animations"
>click savenothing changes. I still have confetti flying all over the place. This needs to stop.

You should include, when right clicking on the highlighted words, the option to remove suggested reaction. It's very very unprofessional and I don't want to accidentally send an inappropriate reaction or gif in a professional email.

The automatic blue text for "thank you" is awful. Please change.

When I send an apology to a colleague, I don't need the word apologize highlighted in blue as if I've written a contraction or misspelled it. I don't need an expressions panel. I'm not going to send an animated .gif to my boss or a client. I'm a professional, not a high school dropout incapable of expressing my feelings without moving cartoons repeating the one word that I just typed.
