It is unbelievable that this problem hasn't been addressed yet. It angers me since it is so dangerous because not only can you accidentally wipe out some fields without even having tapped EDIT in the upper-right on a Contact's page if you leave it open on them or you aren't careful.
It you goof, there is no Close that doesn't Save it unless you can remember to double-tap the Home button and slide that Contact closed which it then does without Saving it.
This needs to be fixed asap. Thanks for letting me vent. This has been bugging for a few years.
I've told this exact thing to Contact Support (?) in the Outlook for iOS app and they say that since the Edit link of each Contact is in the upper-right corner on all of the Contacts I was describing, those are the Apple phone's app contacts and not theirs so I need to contact Apple.
Their Contacts are in the app itself, not the phone's phone icon & their Edit link is down in the bottom row. -

It’s frustrating that the old Email addresses for contacts can’t be deleted similar to the functionality in windows 10 app.

Why doesn’t outlook sync with my iOS contacts? I cant even copy and paste an email address from my iOS contact list- rediculous!

EDITING CONTACTS (People?) SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE DONE WITHOUT TAPPING 'EDIT'. It is now. The only way out if you accidentally do something like delete the Notes section is to Close the app by sliding it up after double-pumping the home button.

contact bidirectional sync is not available in outlook for iOS. This is much required features, as it's working with iOS native email app.

If I get a phone call or text on my iPhone, how can I easily convert it to an outlook contact?

We rolled out MAM (Mobile Application Management) in our company on +6000 users. From ActiveSync to Managed Apps our users lost usability in managing contacts.
Before with the legacy exchange connection the users could easily
create contacts from the phone. For example, new incoming call => create contact.Now with the Managed Apps this funtion has been removed. Contacts must be created from within Outlook App. Hence the phone number must be entered again. Only users with a pencil and a piece of paper around them can manage this.
Most of our users are working outside and just need email, phone and contacts. The Mobile Apps from Microsoft are really leaking flexitiliby on contact management.

Saving contact directly to iPhone 11 should be made seamless.

Access email, tap the envelope. Fine. Access calendar, tap the date icon. Fine. Access contacts, tap the search icon.?????? Please clean up the user interface for contacts.

Not all contacts sync across devices. I have to search Outlook email to locate some contacts.

Multiple contacts from every sent email and they overwrite the manual contact I added with phone numbers.
This is packing my iPad with unwanted nonsense, please write this code again correctly.

After several organizational changes, many of my coworkers have 3 separate email domains that show up as auto fill suggestions. It’s frustrating that the old ones can’t be deleted
