Sorting tasks into lists from “All” on mobile
I am not sure if I’m missing something, but is there an easy way to add tasks to a list from the ♾️ All list? I like to add tasks there then be able to add them to lists - I’m hoping to long press and add it to a list or select a list from a drop down when I click into the task. I’m aware of the sorting feature where you select multiple and add them to a list, but that is cumbersome when you only want to add one task to a list.
Overdue tasks no longer appear in red in light mode
Last week I noticed that the "Overdue [Date]" text in overdue tasks no longer appears in red. I use light mode, and if I switch to dark mode that text will appear in red, but it reverts to black when I turn dark mode off. This is happening in the web app and if I go to the app in Outlook, but is not an issue on the desktop app.
Colours within task notes
Hello, I noticed that when copying text from elsewhere, it does copy the colors, but I cannot find any way of replicating this myself. Are there tags or markers to use to be able to use colours (red or green or blue) when writing? It does seem like the notes can support them since they do stay without any issue when copied from elsewhere. Thanks for your helpTo Do: scrolling bug
You can’t scroll all the way down in longer notes anymore in the Android app. The keyboard covers part of the note. I already tried to update it an reinstall it. Many users have this problem. This makes the app almost unusable. I'm on OneUi 7. I attached a screenshot with a transparent keyboard.
Feature Asymmetry
Does anyone else find the feature asymmetry between the web & android versions to be a little odd? Also everything feels stagnant like all the To Do engineers moved to the Copilot Team (haha, but no really :) Categories is the biggest oddity. It's been on web to-do for years now. Then there's the sorting differences between web & android. Android actually has more sorting capabilities? That seems wierd. And last but not least... The web version kinda retained the old (and quite magical) "To Do" view of: Today Tomorrow This Week Next Week (this was so useful, why'd you remove it?!? Later What I struggle with is these are core features to task management as they exist on every other platform, and they all originally existed in Outlook! Strange that the phone l app and the web app (presumably using the same back-end APIs) have such different usability.
'Ghost' To Do Task Visible in Counter of 'All' - But Nowhere Else - Unable to View 'All'
I have an interesting case in Classic Outlook (Version 2511). There is an extra item in the 'All' counter in To Do that is only visible in one instance of Outlook. If I use Outlook on the web or the To Do app itself - all tasks and counts are accurate. Even the Planner app in Teams shows the correct tasks and number of them. In fact - in my Outlook Classic at home it even works properly. But not in my Outlook Classic at work. In fact - if you try to click on the 'All' itself - the display simply blanks out and you have to close and re-open Outlook to get To Do to open again. I've tried the obvious already. Thinking because it only happens here - I've already completely wiped my ost file and rebuilt it from scratch. I've started outlook with various 'clean' flags. None of them have been able to clear the phantom count that will crash To Do from within classic Outlook. What is being overlooked? As you can see below - the number of 'All' is always one more than what it should be.Tasks show up twice in To Do module in Outlook On Desktop
I have a strange problem with my tasks in the To Do module when it is used inside the Outlook app installed on my Windows PC. Some tasks show up twice there. When I check other places the task is listed only once there: On the To Do Webapp in the browser In the To Do App on my Android Phone When I start Outlook in the browser and check the To Do module there But on my Desktop in the Outlook App the task is listed twice. When I mark it a completed on my To Do app on my Android Phone one of the two task shown gets marked as completed (and is shown as completed in all three places mentioned above), however the other one stays in the not completed status. Triggering the Sync in the To Do module in Outlook does not solve the issue, restarting Outlook does not solve it as well. I have to delete the second task manually in the To Do module. This is really annoying because I get the reminder for a task from the outlook app on Windows but cannot really use Outlook to manage the task there. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi everyone, I've been using Microsoft To Do for years and have always been able to share lists with my family. Now, when I send my wife or son an invitation link, they get an error message saying the list isn't available and they can't join. Here's what I've tried so far: I created a new invitation link and confirmed they're signed in with their Microsoft accounts. I tried using the app on their iPad or iPhone, and also on my MacBook. I checked if the list still exists. Despite all this, sharing still doesn't work. Has something changed with To Do sharing? Is there a new requirement or setting I need to enable? The error message attached. Translated: Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. Best regards Martin
