Outlook Web Version Removed Multiple Select Deletion Circles

Question

I have been using the Outlook web version for some time now and have noticed that the feature to select multiple emails for deletion using the selection circles is missing. This function was very useful to me, and I am trying to figure out if this is a permanent change or a temporary issue. Can you please provide some insight into this change and if there is an alternative way to select multiple emails for deletion?

The new option where I have to select the emails individually and use the squares adds one more step, and it is not as convenient as the previous method. Is there a way to revert back to the circles? Please advise.

Answer 1

Bring back the select circles

Answer 2

Please bring back the selection circles, it is much better this way
