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.

I switched back to the old Outlook because when I type "Thanks!" the new Outlook turns my font blue and inserts a space between the word and the punctuation mark. I know that this is for emoji/gif option to pop up, but I just want to say "Thanks!" and have it format the way I want it formatted.

Agreed, this is very annoying for professional emails and better as an opt in rather than opt out.

THIS. I need to know exactly what my emails to clients will look like. I cannot accept any unexpected formatting or general stupidity.
I have already wasted too much time with this. How to turn it off? -

Perhaps Shannon can point us to how to turn these off? I searched for this in settings and couldn't find it. If anything make this opt in instead of opt out. Making emoji highlighting automatic is not appropriate for the many users who are business oriented.

I don't like the suggestion and highlighted words for emoji or GIF

Get rid of emojis automatically popping up. If someone wants them, let them click on some option to get them.

Turn off all link previews and suggestions for GIFs, smileys, and silliness. This is a business tool.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL that an GIF or EMOJI wants to automatically be inserted when typing. Please change this!!!

Please add an enable/disable button for auto-dictation of emojis and gifs. Every company I have worked for uses Outlook for work, that is the only time I have ever chosen Outlook for my correspondence. It has come to my attention, that when I hit 'enter' twice, the auto-dictation inserts an emoji where my paragraph once was. I normally don't allocate this much time into trying to fix something, but I feel that this function is highly unnecessary and inconvenient that it cannot be resolved through a simple and accessible button or setting option. I hit double-tap the enter key quite frequently, and it's becoming very inefficient to my workload when I have to stop, reverse the damage, and carefully hit enter, click X, then hit enter again. I would greatly appreciate a resolve, or I will not be able to use the updated version.

Common phrases like "Good morning" are highlighted and indented automatically.

I find it distracting that when I type "congratulations" or "thanks," it's highlighted and a bunch of gifs and emojis are recommended. Not useful for a work email account.

STOP the stupid and unnecessary animations. Extra distracting and a waste of memory.

Keeps automatically highlighting in light purple the backgrounds of words such as: thanks, happy birthday, etc. I don't like this new look.

There is some emojies are there. They are automatically coming. It is a big disturbance for official purpose mail. So you can change this is as a optional one.

THIS. A professional environment should not be using emoticons! It's quite annoying. It's especially annoying when I see U, R, TXT, or anything of like when used by Microsoft.
At least - turn it off by default, please.

STOP ANIMATING EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING IN THE SCREEN TO GET ATTENTION. LET THE USER WORK.

Please strongly consider that people who use Outlook are typically professionals. We do not need the bells and whistles of social media and that level of informality is frowned upon in professional email etiquette. The overall format looked nice, but unfortunately all this additional social media type of features really missed the mark. I will be returning back to the old Outlook.

Words' phrases like Thanks/Thank you are unexplainably highlighted. I use Outlook for work & must be sure my communication is professional.

I use Outlook for work. The new version is HIGHLY unprofessional. Forced automatic formatting of things are simple and commonplace as "thanks" or "thank you" cause my email to become a major liability as a communications tool. This isn't Snapchat. Get rid of this garbage.
