Is there a way to prevent redirecting to Delve when clicking on a username

Hi All,   we are working on an office 365 tenant, and inside sharepoint online sites, when we click on a username (inside a list item, list view, etc),, we will be redirected to the user's Delve pa...

The only thing you can do is just disable Delve in the SPO settings, but this is not only going to disable Delve (The document part) but also any other feature powered by the Graph so I don't recommend to disable it

      For instance:
      1) SPO Home Page: Sites suggested to follow might not work
      2) In SPO and ODFB when copying/moving a file, the ability to copy/move files to another sites might not work because the list of sites the user has access to might not show

        Thanks jcgonzalezmartin  for the reply and helpful information.

        but it is not clear to me what exactly the above 2 points are ? and how important they are?

         

        second point. now i read this article https://support.office.com/en-us/article/are-my-documents-safe-in-office-delve-f5f409a2-37ed-4452-8f61-681e5e1836f3?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#bkmk_optout

        which mentioned that we can disable showing documents inside Delve pages, by "Go to Feature settings and select Off for Documents".. but if i do so, and i realized that i will be missing some features, then is it supported to re-enable this feature again ? i mean can i turn off the Documents feature inside Delve >> test the results >> and re-enable the feature if i find any problem/issue, or if i need this feature in the future?
