Microsoft’s Outlook e-mail service is getting some important updates in the coming months. The news comes from a recent update to the Microsoft 365 roadmap, which lists these new capabilities as in development for Outlook on the web.

First of all, Microsoft isactively working on a featurethat will allow business users to book travel time appointments and transportation between meetings. “Now when you need to go to a different building or place between meetings, Outlook will enable you to book travel time and way of transportation between the places you need to go,” the company explained on the Microsoft 365 roadmap. The feature is planned for release in August this year.

The other new feature is emoji reactions, which is alsocoming to iOS and Android. This update will enable users to messages with love, laughter, celebration, sadness, or surprise emojis when accessing their inbox in Outlook through a web browser. Emoji reactions are expected to roll out to both mobile andweb users in June 2021.
