Delve Retirement and User Profiles

The Delve browser app retires on December 16, 2024. It’s time to check if the change will affect how people interact with user profiles in Microsoft 365 tenants. A new “user profile experience” is due to arrive in November that should allow people to update details in their profile. Hopefully, the new experience will include photo updates, which have long been a problem area for Microsoft 365 apps.

The New Entra ID Photo Update Settings Policy for User Profile Photos

A new Entra ID photo update settings policy aims to cure the mish-mash of existing settings controlling how user profile photos are updated in Microsoft 365. The new policy is based on a Microsoft Graph resource. Work is needed to update clients to respect the policy settings and take over from current controls, like the OWA mailbox policy.
