Synchronization with Apple Mail and Contacts
It should be possible to synchronize Outlook with Apple Contacts, including iCloud contacts and to import Mails and folders from Apple Mail.

Outlook should use contacts from your phone's address book. It should not require you to add iCloud as an account for several reasons:
* You may not want to store your contacts in iCloud. You may have a separate contact provider or keep them local on your phone for security reasons.
* You may not use email or calendars in iCloud. Then, there would be no reason to add iCloud to your app.
* And, the biggest one, the iCloud contact sync is extremely delayed. I've added contacts to iCloud to test Outlook and it takes days for it to show up if ever. It would obviously be faster to just read them directly.Also, many users have asked for this already. Those requests have received hundreds of votes but an admin keeps going around marking it as complete because users can work around it by syncing contacts thru their iCloud account.
Do not mark this as completed if it requires going thru a separate provider such as iCloud or adding an extra account to the app. That is NOT the request. The request is to read directly from the device.

I love Outlook and have been using for many years. Why do the mobile versions (iPad and iPhone) not have a People contacts feature that sync with my Computer’s People items? Having those when away from home would be so beneficial/convenient. Not having is making me look at other options to Outlook and I really don’t want to do that...

Gmail and other apps do this seamlessly but outlook app does not - even though it gives the option to let them be accessed it does not work! Please upgrade.

Automatic syncing of the contact from Outlook to iPhone, it doesn´t sync automaticly. It would also be great if you can edit and add contact from your phone and then it syncs to Outlook.

Currently any created contacts or contact groups from Outlook on PC are not syncing to the Outlook iOS Mobile app.
Upon checking microsoft docs ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/outlook-for-ios-and-android/outlook-for-ios-and-android-faq ) it seems 'bi-directional sync' of outlook contacts is only supported for Android.
When can you get this working for iOS? -

Please can you make the app get permission to use the contacts in my iPhone without me having to do something in iTunes? When I install the Aol app. It simply ask for permission to access my contacts. I don’t sync my contacts with iTunes, always messes them up. I use a third party app to backup my contacts. It’s always a pain to email someone using outlook because typing their name doesn’t make their email populate. I have to go to my contact and copy and paste the email. This would be a huge help. I would gladly give outlook permission to access my contacts ?

Please implement something this feature so that I can actually add an Outlook Contact on my IPhone and it synch to Outlook on my Laptop. What a novel idea!!

When someone that's not in your address book calls and you choose Save as contact, it's not possible to get this synced to Exchange/Exchange on-line without having a Native iOS exchange profile set-up as well.

I can’t see in iOS the contacts of my own or approved ones. Just the global Adressbook of my company. How can I import my own contacts?

Users need the ability to create or update a contact from an email received on a gmail account. Currently, we have to copy and paste everything and do it manually. It’s nonsense considering all the other functions that are available. This is a MUST.

I created a distribution group in online contacts, however the groups does not show up in the mobile outlook app.
All contact information must be synced between all apps and contact lists, including mobile, online and computer desktop people applications.
