Hi Allan, I completely agree with you. In the Outlook mobile clients on iOS & Android, you can select/unselect calendars just like you can in all the other Outlook clients. You can also select/unselect calendars in the native iOS calendar app. I'm not sure how all the native Android apps work across manufacturers, but that is just a limitation of the app you're using. I recommend using the Outlook mobile apps myself :-)

    Hi Zoltan, Group calendars are not supported currently. There are discussions on how to best support it but no timeline or plans yet.

    I mentioned above but should have clearly mentioned that group calendars aren't supported. You can only open the calendar of another user, conference room, or shared mailbox.

      Any update on the mobile feature for Group Calendars? Seems like a pretty big gap .... Per Microsoft Agent it's best practice to collaborate across an org with this type of calendar:

      Any update is greatly appreciated.

        jrobinson - we are working on this right now! We are looking to launch Group Calendars in Outlook mobile in the coming months... Thanks for your patience.

         

        Would be kind enough to help us understand what your use cases/workflows are for this feature?

      Is there any time-line for group calendar support on Outlook mobile, for IOS and Android?

       

      We are very frustrated by the lack of support for your own calendars.

       

      It is quite silly when you think about it.

      That's quite bad. Thanks for the answer Julia.
