I wonder if this is also affecting the responsiveness of O365 mobile apps as well. Like, not their ability to interact with cloud services, but their ability to respond to the user’s actions in the first place.

My wife has had a work iPad with Outlook (Classic) on it, and the entire app locked up pretty much in-line with the reported outages. No ability to scroll, no ability to open previously-downloaded eMail, no ability to access on-device settings, nothing. It’s like the app itself had encountered an internal error that turned it into a glorified wallpaper screenshot.

Such lack of responsiveness doesn’t line up very well with what I know as a software dev, nor with my own experiences with apps that are no longer connecting with services. Although TBH I have never developed for mobile before. Maybe I’m missing something?
