Groups app in China app stores?
Hi Brent, there are no plans to release the Outlook Groups mobile app in the App store for China. Outlook Mobile is available in the App store in China for download, and the built in Groups functionality should work when connecting to a tenant based out of EU or the US.
- Adding group files in Outlook mobile is being actively worked on and should be available in the coming months. What do you mean by access to "people"?
- Seeing and managing group members
This is putting our employees that live in China at a real disadvantage.
There is lots of value in the standalone Groups app, instead of burying it inside of the Outlook App. I fear doing that is going to greatly diminish the value and usefulness of Groups as a collaboration tool...Hi Brent,
We are making constant improvements to the groups experiences in Outlook mobile. With the most recent update in iOS, groups is now much easier to access in the sidebar (no scrolling required). We are working on more changes to help get to groups quickly and engage with them. In addition, we are also working on bringing group files and create/edit of groups to Outlook mobile. You will start seeing many of these light up in the app in the upcoming months. As these land, let us know if there are still points of friction you see with the experience that we could improve on. Thanks for all the feedback.
