Autocorrect for Emoji's Not Working in Latest Outlook Insider for MacOS

Office Insider for MacOS - Outlook v16.51 (21062001) - in the past if I entered 😉 , 🙂 etc they would autocorrect to the relevant emoji. I have noticed that in this build they no longer autocorrect and stay as plain text. I am using HTML format (not plain text).

Has anyone else experienced/noticed this?

Is it by design or a bug?

    Hello Michael_Brunker,

     

    We just tried and it auto converted it into a smiley emoji. Can you double check to make sure the AutoCorrect option is enabled for Word/Outlook? Here are thehttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/autocorrect-emojis-in-documents-and-email-601cad94-1a54-41e2-8cf8-4b09a6eadfe1.

     

    Cheers,

    Evan

      Interestingly, some of the autocorrect emojis work (such as 😄 and 😉 ) but others like the basic 🙂 and 😞 still do not autocorrect to graphic emojis in the latest Office Insider Outlook for MacOS. Not a real issue, just an annoyance.

      Yes, auto-correct is enabled and working (e.g. if I type ( c ) I get © )...and the instructions were for Word/Outlook for Windows...this is Outlook Insider Beta channel build 16.51.21062309 on MacOS Big Sur. It had been working (as I use it quite a lot) but the last couple of builds it appears broken.
