Microsoft has added a new setting in Outlook Mobile that gives users the ability to hide declined meetings from their calendar view. This update aims to provide a more streamlined scheduling experience by reducing calendar clutter. The feature is rolling out to all commercial environments, including Worldwide, GCC, GCCH, and DoD tenants, and will sync with any existing preferences set in the desktop or web versions of Outlook.
Why it matters
This change brings greater consistency across Outlook platforms, as declined meetings hidden on the desktop or web will now also disappear from the mobile app. The update gives users more control over their calendar view and helps them focus on upcoming commitments rather than past declined events.
The details
The new toggle to hide declined meetings can be found in the Outlook Mobile settings menu. Once enabled, the mobile app will respect and sync any existing preferences the user has already set in the New Outlook or Outlook on the Web. This eliminates the need for users to manually adjust their settings across multiple platforms.
- The update started rolling out at the beginning of February 2026.
- The full rollout to all commercial environments is expected to be completed by mid-February 2026.
