Apps Outlook App - unread emails badge count complication missing

[StumpyBloke]

Just wondering if anybody else who uses the Outlook app on the watch has noticed that the unread email badge count (on the complication) has disappeared from the last two updates, including the update I have just installed dated today?

Hi

I have the same problem since I updated the app yesterday. I thought it was a problem with my config and I've tried resetting accounts etc...but if you have the same problem must be something related to last update. Let's hope they solve it soon, but with Outlook for iOS-WatchOS, you never know!

Thanks for confirming.

And I wouldn’t hold your breath, they still can’t get the iPhone unread number badge working correctly. That’s never work for me. They can’t even get the basics right. And then when they add a very useful feature which people have wanted, on the watch, they then remove it without any explanation. I’m very tempted to go back to the stock mail app but then the watch version of that doesn’t synchronise correctly. Either way you look, the software is garbage.

I have the same issue… prob won’t upgrade until this function is available.

Same issue also. I tried to reset accounts, uninstall / reinstall app etc... I guess they removed the badge in the code of the watch software, or it's a complete mess. Let's hope it will be fixed in a future release.

I’ve reported that the iOS/iPadOS badge for the unread email count is still wrong and wholly unreliable. They just keep coming back with “raise it as a feature”, not report it as a bug (such weird wording from them) so it can be addressed in future updates. I’ve done a Google search and people have been complaining about this for years. I will go back to the stock mail app in iOS 15 when it’s released and see how I get on.
