Incorrect synchronization between Outlook Tasks and iOS Reminders
Hi _Mr_George,
The Apple Reminder app looks good. It shows the Calendar and Tasks in one desktop view.
I suggest giving Microsoft the feedback to "incorporate this view as part of their existing products" instead of syncing with third-party apps. For example, many users have expressed that they would like MyDay to evolve with functionality to display multiple days instead of just Today. It is being considered.
My perspective is Microsoft’s focus is investing in their Online applications. Again, I like this view and would like to see it become available in MS To Do.
I want to add some additions.
When in iOS Reminders I create several tasks with due date of "today" with reminders also today - they are synchronized with Outlook and this can be seen under the calendar. But when in Outlook I go to the Tasks tab and then return to the Calendar again, all tasks disappear under the calendar. How it looks:
Last 2 issues between iOS Reminders and Outlook Tasks — OneDrive (live.com)
I tested this issues on several Microsoft accounts and on two Outlook 2019 and 2021 - this error is present everywhere. The same result in safe mode - tasks with a deadline of today and a reminder(!) today disappear.
BUT, I have some important additions! "Disappearing Tasks" effect only occur when the creation is done from the "reminder app" (the standard app for tasks on iOS Apple build “Reminders”)! If I make tasks in Microsoft To Do on iOS - this bug is not present in Outlook on Windows. Which means that there is some incorrect synchronization between Outlook Tasks and iOS Reminders. It looks like this issue is related to that issue what I already pointed in first message of this topic! I think this additions can help developers to fix these bugs
- Hello, did you manage to resolve the issue?
It's even more annoying if you have multiple Apple devices (phone + tablet).
