Gotta be on office 365 to get all the latest updates. 2019 the build number is 16.44
Everyone needs to understand 16.44 is latest out but you gotta look at the build number after to get latest features.
im on insiders ring for updates and it’s best thing ever 2 releases with updates per week sometimes
Is this only for Microsoft 365 subscribers? Or are Office 2019 for Mac customers also getting some love?
It's not a problem with the new Outlook switch. Outlook app still appears as 16.43 (the same version from last month). Rest of apps in the Mac App Store shows 16.44 and are pretty fast.
Outlook is delayed it seems... the one that I was expecting more!

[Updated] Here's how Office 2019 and Microsoft 365 will work on Apple M1 Silicon Macs - OnMSFT.com
In a new support document, Microsoft detailed how Office 2019 and how Microsoft 365 will work on Apple's new M1 Macs.

Just install and get in wider ring updates! I get 1-2 updates each week and they always fix a lot of things and add new feature if you want the latest and best that’s what you should run.
my outlook aka new outlook runs amazing and it’s worth it to be on insiders ring to get the updates ASAP
Same issue here. You can "solve" the issue by forcing Word to open in Rosetta (click on Word in the Finder, Command+I and then open with Rosetta). Guess we need to wait a little longer until the reference managers are updated.
Outlook isn't updated yet, at least not in the App Store (I don't know about AutoUpdate).
I’m looking for 16.44 in the App Store, not how to turn in the new outlook user interface.
You can update Outlook for Mac directly from Microsoft (wasn't showing in App Store for me either but my other Office 365 apps updated):
Update history for Office for Mac - Office release notes

I'm confused. Microsoft said they redesigned the UI for this release to match Big Sur. But when I updated, it's still the old UI. I have an Intel iMac Pro, is the redesign only for the M1 Macs? I feel like a UI match with Big Sur would be across both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
As the press release said, Outlook gets the new appearance, which you have to switch on. The "New Outlook" does have a number of feature limitations.
Exactly. The inability to add delegate accounts is one reason I'm not using new outlook.
New UI is not compatible to normal exchange servers, IMAP ,...
Only working with outlook.com, Exchange 365 and iCloud.
So a big mess.
I see you have only 3 icons in the bottom left of sidebar. My outlook on Mac has 5 (attached screenshot).
How can I remove ms to-do and ms notes icons? I can save some space

After the 16.44 update, pasting content into office apps (powerpoint, word tested) causes the app to stop responding (spinning wheel). I had to completely uninstall and reinstall an earlier version (15.xx).
Did anyone have the same issue with the new universal office apps?

Different product made by a different development team with different priorities and different resources available. It makes complete sense. Its not as simple as flipping a switch to turn this stuff on. Software development is complex.
