Outlook Inbox Widget Resizing Issue on Google Pixel 9

Hello @Elias Price, 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Community. We're happy to support you with your concern. 

Based on your description, your Outlook inbox widget can't be resized to 5x2 but the calendar widget is working fine. From our test environment, the widget of Outlook inbox can still be resized to 5x2 or any sizes. 

We suggest you can do these steps as workarounds to narrow down the issue: 

1. Restart your devices and try again 

2. Check for Pixel Launcher Updates  

• Go to Play Store > Manage apps > Updates available.  

Update Pixel Launcher (if an update exists).  

3. Try a different launcher:  

• you can install some other launcher (Like Nova or Microsoft launcher) and check if it works with the Outlook inbox widget. If it works, the problem may come from Google's Pixel Launcher. 

4. Check with Widget Settings 

• Go to Settings > scroll down to About Phone > Tab Build number 7 times to enable developer options > look for "Force resize widgets" (if available) and enable it. 

5. Try the older version of Outlook:  

• you can download the older version of Outlook and test if the widget still have the problem 

6. Factory Reset 

• Go to Settings > System > Backup your data first then Reset the system in Settings > System > Reset options 

If none of the above works, we suggest you should  

report this issue to Microsoft through Outlook > Settings > Help & Feedback > Send Feedback and also report to Google via Settings > Google > Give feedback. Please understand that as forum moderators we don't have permission to affect any feature related to customer's device.
