Microsoft Outlook for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Microsoft Outlook safe for kids?
Microsoft Outlook carries a family-friendly official rating (4+) on the App Store. That makes it broadly suitable, but even family-rated apps can include chat, ads, or in-app purchases, so check the factors below.
What age rating does Microsoft Outlook have?
The App Store rates Microsoft Outlook as 4+. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use Microsoft Outlook safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove Microsoft Outlook from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find Microsoft Outlook and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
