Why, oh why does MS have to complicate things?  I don't understand really.     As a 365 subscriber, I can use either the Outlook app, the OWA app, or the native Mail app.  All three have different ...

Unfortunately I cannot pretend it does not exist as it is, for the time being, the only thing that allows me to edit a contact on my iOS.

Understood.  That is a much-requested feature on UserVoice, Better Contacts Management, with 11K votes and over three thousand comments, so it's not like Microsoft don't know people want this feature but as of yet, it hasn't been delivered.

 

"Editing the People list directly from the app is not yet supported. It is a popular request, and we may add it in a future update.

 

To edit the People list, please edit the contacts in your account via a web browser.

You can also edit the contacts on the devices' native contacts app but to do this, you first need to make sure you are syncing contacts with your iCloud account and that your iCloud account is set up in our app.

 

If you would like us to add the ability to edit contacts in the app, please let us know by submitting a feature request via "Settings" -> "Help & Feedback" -> "Suggest a Feature."

We appreciate your patience and feedback!"
