You can now Recall emails in Outlook for Android and iOS

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Beth Jester, a Product Manager on the Outlook team. I am excited to announce that the ability to recall emails – a feature that many of you love in Outlook for Windows, Outlook for the web, and most recently Outlook for Mac – is now available in Outlook for Android and iOS.

Recall emails in Outlook for Android and iOS​

You’re writing an email on your phone and your thumb bumps send before you’re done. Or, you forget to add an attachment. Or, you’ve included the wrong recipient. We’ve all been there and felt that moment of regret.

Recall in Outlook allows you to retract an email from all recipient’s inboxes after you’ve hit send. This feature can be particularly helpful in professional settings, where sending an incorrect message might be confusing or erode confidence. Recall has been one of the most requested features for Outlook for Android and iOS, and we are thrilled to be able to respond to your feedback and bring this feature to more users!

How it works​

1. When you realize an email was sent with an error you’d like to correct, select the message in the Sent folder on your Android or iOS device.
2. Select the ... menu in the top-right corner of the email you wish to recall.
   
   
   
3. Select Recall from the menu options.
   
   
   
4. After you’ve recalled a message, you will receive a status email about whether the recall was successful or not. NOTE: Recall may fail on emails that are very old.

Tips and tricks​

• After you recall an email, you can select Resend in the menu to quickly make the needed edits and corrections.

Requirements​

To be able to recall emails in Outlook for Android and iOS, Outlook for Windows, Outlook for the web, and Outlook for Mac, both you and the recipient must be using Microsoft 365 email accounts within the same organization.

Availability​

This feature is expected to be available to Android Beta and iOS TestFlight users running app version 4.2504.0 or later starting in late February 2025.

Features are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as an Insider, have had the opportunity to try it.
