Microsoft is adding @mention notifications to the Outlook Mobile Notifications Pane.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling out early October 2023 and expect to complete by late November 2023 (previously late October).

How this will affect your organization:

In addition to the notifications they already receive for reactions, Outlook Mobile users will start to see notifications in the Notifications Pane when they are mentioned in an email, a Microsoft 365 document, or a Loop. Currently there are no push notifications associated with these in-app notifications.
