Go to Settings>Notifications>Outlook>Show Preview and make sure it's set to "Always (Default)".

Same issue on my iPhone 7 enrolled with intune app: no previews, but clicking on the popup message, it's possible to read the mail (in the app...). Worse situation with apple Watch where there is no way to read the mail text at all (it says "message with no content").

Looking forward to hearing a solution. It's very annoying, and honestly I cannot understand if it's a bug on Microsoft or Apple side...

IT emailed this email:


How can we uninstall IOS-14 safely?


To All Customers using Apple iOS devices/ iPhones:

Customers should NOT update to the latest Apple iOS-14 version until further notice. Performing this iOS update on your iPhone will prevent you from seeing the Outlook email previews on your locked home screen. The update should be compatible with the environment next month.

 

You should not be prompted to update, but if you are, please decline. This applies to all users.

I’m having all the same issues. Just upgraded my phone to iPhone 11. Tried all the recommendations from other users but work email still not showing previews whether screen is locked or unlocked. Hopefully Apple will release a bug fix soon. Otherwise, the workaround another user suggested with holding down the notification on the Lock Screen to view the email works for me and will use begrudgingly until the issue resolved.
