Contacts should show notes field
In Outlook desktop I have notes attached to contacts (e. G. Account reference numbers needed when communicating with the contact person or company) . These are not visible in Outlook for Android.

The whole People/Contacts in Outlook an Android is a mess. Most contacts don't even appear. For those I have added in Outlook desktop that do appear, I can see their notes in the notes field in Outlook when I search for a contact, but they are not editable. This is an unneeded limitation in Outlook for Android, because in the Samsung Contacts app on the same device connected to the same Exchange Server, I can edit the contact notes.
Please give us a proper People/Contact section, just like we have mail and calendar sections within Outlook. And the Notes field MUST be editable so we can take notes when talking with our contacts on the phone or in person.

I was always able to view my Notes info within my Contact via my mobile. For some reason this dissappeared. I can view info in a PC or laptop. Contacted customer service but unable to help or give a reason why it went

Notes section of Outlook Contacts should be shown when opening the Contact. Should not have to click on Notes to see what's in there, if anything.
Microsoft, please fix this! -

The only way I can access my contact notes on the android is to open the contact and then click 'edit'. When I used a zimbra server months ago the contact notes would appear, although when editing they would truncate, which was another issue.

Recently I find some of my contacts in Outlook do not appear in the search function in Outlook for my android. A MS365 tech told me there is a limit to the number of contacts that will sync with Outlook for my android. Again, I am forced to use Google contacts or access Outlook through the portal.

Accessing the Notes field in Outlook for Android Contacts is critical to me. I have had to start using the Google Contacts app to access this information.

the only reason I have a smart phone is to be able to access the complete contact information for my clients when they call me. only posting part of the contact file is useless. Bad microsoft!

Not just the notes fields... But any populated field in outlook for desktop contacts. And be able to add data to any field in kind on the mobile by adding that field to the contact display (keep it dynamic display so it does not get too jumbled except by the users own need)
This also goes along with the two way sync that MUST happen then.
But ultimately, I'm tired of not seeing all contact information on my mobile and missing numbers. -

the "notes" field entered in the desktop version isn't visible in the mobile version!

it would be very useful to generate a connection between contacts and calendar so notes can be stored under contacts and pop up in the calendar on specified dates. that way contacts specific projects are organized under the correct contact and automatically transfer to the calendar on specified dates for follow up

Outlook contacts in desktop and OWA have NOTES but your android app doesn't. WHY?

pls add more fields where we add contact such as notes- few thousand words can be saved, nickname, relationship, website, custom made fields too so as too add more details without any more hiccups.

this feature is an absolute MUST. I am surprised to see that it does not exist
