regarding the state of shared calendars on mobile devices
Hi All, Did a bit of searching and I can't find anything on any advancements in regards to shared calendars and getting them added to mobile devices easily through outlook app or default mail app...
Hi Sourabh,
I initially wanted to use a Shared Mailbox or Resource mailbox for this task but it is specifically the viewing and adding of entries to the calendar on Mobile devices (Specifically iPhone in this case)

Hi Anthony,
I think I mis inderstood you. I tried it with the calendar from my account. And I tried to add en new Calendar to my account and shared it with someone else.
With those two options the other person can add the calendar to his shared calendars and the calendar is vissible on his phone in the dedicated mail app.
I never tried it with a calendar for a resource.

- Ok no problem Maurits,
Thank you for trying though! It still sounds like it is an improvement and in the worst case scenario I can still use a "Personal" calendar shared to multiple people as the solution for "Shared calendar in default iOS Calendar App"I take it using a group/group calendar and the IOS/Android/Windows groups app is no good for you?
- Hi Peter,
I wish it was. I really do. Navigating around the problem and just using the new funky Group tools available is in my mind the way to solve this issue. The problem is not the fact that I could do this, The problem is that one particular high level end user would not find this acceptable as they would struggle against learning a new way to access something.
In their minds "G Suite handles this requirement (Shared Calendar shared between multiple people available on Mobile) fine. Why can't Microsoft?"
