This is a follow up to MC515531 (February ’23) as we continue working on rolling this out to all environments.
We’re adding a new feature to the profile card in Microsoft 365. Users in your organization will soon be able to add pronouns directly to their profile card in Outlook on the web and Teams. Pronouns are the words we use to replace someone’s name in a sentence, such as “he,” “she,” or “they” in English.
For the Viva Engage (Yammer) app on iOS devices, iOS 15 or later will now be required for the Viva Engage (Yammer) mobile app. Phones running iOS 14 will still be able to use Viva Engage (Yammer) after the cutoff but won’t receive any new app updates.
When this will happen:
Microsoft is extending group policy assignment support to additional policy types via Teams admin center. Admins can create new groups in Microsoft 365 admin center or can use existing groups to assign custom policies for various policy types in Teams admin center.
This capability will enable your organization to have different custom policies for various policy types assigned to user groups for specific needs and inherited through group memberships. You will not have to rely on global (org-wide default) policies or direct policy assignments via manual user selections.

Note: IT teams can remove IE11 visual references on Windows 10 devices by using the Disable IE policy.

With this release, the aggregate insights surfaced through the Viva Insights app in Teams will display results for all subgroups within the organization. New sorting controls will make it easier to highlight the most important information, and the interactive charts will make navigating the results easier than ever.
Admins will be allowed to pre-approve apps using resource-specific consent (RSC) permissions, so that users can install them even when RSC is otherwise turned off.
