    finding contacts is very clunky and the integration with the Android phone and existing contacts is not very good. If I receive a phone call that I want to save into my contacts It does not integrate directly with Outlook. I need to copy and paste and or manually enter the data

    without this feature, next to impossible to keep Outlook on computer synced with the 3rd party contact list only computer. Extremely Frustrating. Can some email me an explanation. I am a life-long MS advocate and user.

    The contacts used to sync. I can not even see who is texting me. It just shows phone numbers.

    Outlook 365 contacts not in Android contacts. Need outlook and Android contacts merged and shared with O 365 and desktop via 0365.

    Currently, Outlook for Android only has email and calendar. One has to go to Google's Android contacts. MS should add contacts to Outlook for Android so the customer/user doesn't have to keep switching back and forth. The design of Android's contacts and UI is different from MS, ergo inconsistency in use and experience. P.S. Bring back MS Mobile.

    The Samsung phone app saves numbers to their own Contacts app which is not synced to the Outlook app. I want everything to be connected to Outlook instead of having two separate contact lists. Thanks

    the Android native contact app is ineffective and often won't sync with desktop Outlook, especially after an update. android contact app often doubles up the contacts and doesn't always show the info. The sync back time to Outlook client is very slow if contact created in android app. Please fully integrate Outlook Contact into android Outlook App

    Make the outlook contact app available on the android platform in the same detail and make is sync 100% with outlook desktop app.

    Environment:
    I have Outlook connected to an on premise Exchange 2016 server. My mobile device is a Pixel 3. I keep my Apps updated and current. I have roughly a 20GB Exchange mailbox with around 1000 contacts.
    Problem:
    If I have the "Sync Contacts" enabled in Outlook for Android my phone I only get 3.5 hours of battery (100% down to 8%) with average usage. When "Sync Contacts" is unchecked I get my normal 15 hours.
    History:
    The problem started in mid December.
    I was able to reproduce the problem after a factory reset and reinstalling the Outlook for Android App.
    Side note:
    I recently noticed my contacts where getting renamed. I suddenly had email address showing up in multiple contacts. As well as multiple contacts with several other contacts phone numbers. Example: I had 14 contacts named "Scott Gardner" with a different phone number in each of the contacts.
    Result:
    I'm no longer using Outlook to sync contacts and I deleted all my contacts (as there were to many with crossed information) and restored from a backup.

    After 8 days back and forth MS support told me that Outlook cannot access phone contacts. Astonishing. This is s basic and essential feature.

    I can select contact details within Outlook for Android but cannot save the details to the phone...
