Show ▼
Microsoft Teams is adding user reporting for messages wrongly flagged as malicious, giving organizations a way to surface false positives and improve detection accuracy. The feature is rolling out worldwide by the end of November 2025 and will be enabled by default at general availability. It applies to tenants using Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 or Microsoft Defender XDR across desktop, mobile, and web. The change matters because user feedback can help tune messaging security controls while reducing unnecessary disruption from incorrect threat alerts.
