Need the option of making/marking calendar entries "private"

I share my work calendar, so there are times I want to add an event, but mark it as private so not everyone can see the details of that appt....just that I am busy during that time frame. This app does not offer this option, but most all others do.

Hey there!

When creating a calendar event you can now choose to keep that event private by scrolling to the bottom of the event creation screen and tapping on the toggle icon next to private.

If you have any trouble with this feature please contact our in app support team from the settings portion of the app.

Thank you,

The Outlook Mobile Team

PS: Please use the Help Section of the app for any questions, we are not able to see replies to this address.

    Most settings avaible in full Outlook are not present in the Outlook app for Android, including Privacy, Busy/Free, Category. This forces a user to create on Android then go to a PC to edit those later - very inefficient.

    Ne fonctionne toujours pas sur Android, merci de bien vouloir corriger le problème/Still doesn't work on Android, please quickly add this basic feature

    this is a MUST for professional user. In addition to this, the support team told me that some user with version 2.2.99 already got this feature... why don't we all get it??

    PRIVATER TERMIN: Mangelhaft dass es diese Standartfunktion nicht gibt !!!

  • Jean-Claude Grau commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    je ne comprends pas que cette fonctionnalité de base dans la version PC et dans l'application Android Gmail par exemple soit absente de votre application

    How long does it take you to get a feature added to your app? Private appointments are a common thing. Defaulting everything to public is ridiculous. Every time I put in a medical appointment, I have to do two steps. Enter it into my phone, then get to my desktop to change to private. I know that there are 10's of thousands of others (at a minimum) that are having this same issue. Write some code and deploy it please.

    Es wäre sehr nützlich Termine als Privat markieren zu können. Selbst iPhone kann das!!!
