Outlook Notes and mobile devices
Is it possible to view Notes from the Outlook client in a mobile device?

MicrosoftOutlook Mobile for iOS\Android does not support note syncing from Outlook Desktop\OWA.
Exchange Notes should be accessible on Outlook mobile apps.
It is a feature that is available on native iOS mail client but not on Outlook app which hard to believe.
Users of Outlook mobile apps, especially from Organizations with Intune MDM implemented will benefit.

Shong5 I concur. This functionality was on BlackBerry devices ages ago. Why it is on iOS and not on Android is beyond reason. We need integrated tasks and notes in the Outlook client.
- Exactly! I kept the BlackBerry Hub app (for a whopping $1.46/mo CAD), but it has recently developed problems with the sync function, making the sync quite unreliable. So I thought I would just switch over to the Outlook app (which is OK - barely - for email and calendar), but then I need "ToDo" for Tasks, Simple Contacts Pro for Contacts (and their developer advises that I need Akruto or DAVx⁵ in order for them to sync properly!), and I'm still looking for something to use for "Notes" (since OneNote is about the most user-unfriendly program I've ever seen). VERY VERY disappointing.
- Maybe I am a little bit late to the game, but there are still ways to access the notes via Android and even for Windos 10+.
Microsoft call Outlook Notes also “Notes” or “Sticky notes”.
On Android Microsoft developed a remarkable Launcher. Yes, it replaces the system launcher, but brings on the feed page a module for sticky notes – similar to the sticky notes app on Windows. It displays and saves the notes into the Microsoft- or 365-account.
2nd way is OneNote on mobile phones. There is a feed-view, where the sticky notes are displayed and also created (hides behind the 3 dot-menu on the bottom bar).
On Windows 10 and 11 you can take access via the app “Microsoft Sticky Notes” – it safes the notes as Outlook Notes into an Microsoft- or 365-account. How far this is similar on Exchange, you’ve to test.
The 2nd way on Windows is OneNote as Desktop-Variant. There the sticky notes / outlook notes can be found in the “feed” and also managed.
The alternate route to the sticky notes from your Outlook-Account is not satisfying, but gives an access…
