Microsoft has updated its Outlook email and calendar app for Android and iOS devices.
The refreshed communications and scheduling tool offers a number of new features aimed at the calendar. For example, Outlook now offers design elements borrowed from Sunrise (a calendar app acquired by Microsoft.) The Outlook calendar will show things like coffee cup and bike emoji when people schedule coffee meetings or bike rides.
Moreover, Outlook will autocomplete addresses when filling in meeting locations, as well as allow users to tap the time/date on the calendar to create events with those details filled in automatically. Meeting participants will be notified automatically if the organizer adjusts meeting start/end times, and users can create Skype for Business meetings directly from their phone.
Last, Outlook will allow people to discover and subscribe to interesting calendars, such as sporting events, holidays, and more.
Microsoft’s Outlook email and calendar app for iOS and Android is free to download from the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store.
