Categories on iOS
I use at least 13 different categories for my super-complicated schedule, and since the iOS app clips text on calendar events I rely on categories to quickly know which type of event I’m looking at. As it is now, I have to tap on each event to see what it’s about. On the Mac Outlook app, categories work great, and my admin puts in time making sure events are categorized properly. However, I’m usually not in front of my laptop, and so would greatly benefit from seeing categories on the iOS app and the Watch app.

If category function could be activated on the phone like it happens on PC then it will be much more convenient for me to handle mails even on the phone

Please add categories to the iPhone app! I rely upon them quite a lot and it'll reduce my dependency on the desktop app as I have to go into the appointment later after creating it and then set the category.

I would like to be able to see my saved searches like I can in the regular outlook. I categorize my emails to help me stay organized. That is list on the mobile app.

I use categories constantly to organize my multiple projects I have going at once at work, On both the Windows and Mac app the categories are easily visible for mail and calendar events, with just a little colored tab. Having to look back at email chains and prepare for events in all different scenarios it would be greatly beneficial to see the categories for the mail in the iPad, iOS app and Apple Watch app, just a simple color bar like on desktop.

Calendar now can display the meeting category (color and label). Being able to set it on mobile would allow doing my daily time management more easily when away from my desk (Mac / Windows Outlook)

More categories for organizing emails into tabs such as how Gmail allows you to add the “updates”, “social”, and “promotions” tabs aside from the main emails

Es wäre schön, wenn die Kategorien mit Farbeinstellungen synchronisiert werden.

I've had to migrate from GSuite to O365 and it was really disappointing that the Outlook app doesn't even support categories. This makes the feature useless unless it is supported everywhere. The Gmail app can handle labels as a first class citizen and so should the iOS app. Please add this in.

Absolutely agree with having custom categories included in iOS! PLUS, this should include changing COLORS as well!

I use categories to organise my emails. It would be extremely useful to be able to search my inbox for specific categories and also to be able to assign categories, both existing and new, to emails.
