Hi Julia Foran 

We're able to share a calendar with other Office365 users in our organization.

The updates sync readily between desktop Outlook 365 where we can view and edit, however, on Outlook for iOS, we can only see the event as "BUSY" -- we're not able to see the subject or the detailed description in the event from the iOS app.  Is this a known limitation?  Are we not sharing the individual calendar correctly?

Thanks for any insights here,

Randall

    dimitrispavl1400 Do you have permissions to the calendar only, or do you have permissions to the entire mailbox?

        Can you try removing the calendar and re-adding it from Outlook Mobile? There's an option to add the calendar if you navigate to Calendar, tap your picture in upper-left and then select the option to add a calendar (it's an icon with calendar and a '+' sign).
