Hi Ralph, in order to have the calendars show up in mobile, we have to migrate them from the old model of calendar sharing to the new model of calendar sharing. We are currently in an "opt in" period until all Outlook client work is completed, and then we will begin the service-side migrations that will automatically upgrade users and have the behavior you describe above (the calendars just start showing up). If you want to see it sooner, you can learn more about the work in progress here: aka.ms/sharedcalendars

Hi, we don't currently have a timeline for when we will begin automatically upgrading calendars. The easiest way to self-upgrade today is to open the calendar using Outlook for iOS or Outlook for Android. By opening from the mobile phone, the calendar is automatically upgraded.

The option is available from the mobile app by going to the Calendar module, viewing the calendar list (tap the icon in top-left), and then click the Calendar+ icon again in the top-left.
