Classic Outlook: The People Card Is Not Retiring, Just the Expanded View

One part of this Classic Outlook update could easily confuse people, so it is worth clearing up.

In June 2026, Microsoft is retiring the People Card Expanded View in Classic Outlook. The full People Card is not going away.

Users will still be able to open the standard contact card. What is changing is the expanded view, which gives users a little more context and a few extra details in one place.

It may seem like a small change at first, but these types of updates can still affect how users look up contact information and move through their daily work.

I put together a full blog post that explains what is changing, what stays, and where users can still get the richer contact experience.
