Hi everyone, 

Is anyone else having issues with Microsoft Outlook, authenticator or Word?

I cant seem to use these apps anymore. I have reinstalled the apps, restarted the phone but it keeps crashing or it will not load any new emails.

Thanks.

      I do not not have an issue myself but seems some issues have been reported (seems not all Beta related).

      A possible fix :

      1. Settings -> Search for "Android System Webview" -> App Details In Store -> Remove Updates
      2. Reboot
      3. Settings -> Search for "Android System Webview" -> App Details In Store -> Update Note: If "Android System Webview" doesn't appear in the app list, go to:
        Settings -> Google -> All services -> System Services -> Select "Android System Webview-Reboot,

      4.        Launch the Microsoft Apps.

      Hi James,

      You are a lifesaver. The solution worked so far.

      I didn't bother searching for a solution because I assumed it's to do with the beta version as it started soon after an update.

      Thank you for your help.

      Microsoft Authenticator app updated today from the Google Play Store and the update appears to have fixed the issue on my device (S25Ultra). I am now able to open/use Authenticator, Outlook, Excel, Teams, Word, etc. that were not working for the past week.
