Contact sync between Outlook for iOS and native iOS contact app
Edit: I would like to continue this topic here: 🙂 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune/ios-managed-contacts-how-to-deal-with-that/m-p/1473555#M4572 Hi folks, i'm struggling with the sync between outlook for ios and the native contact app. What I've done so far: Created an app protection policy for managed devices, where contactsync is allowed Created an app protection policy for unmanaged devices, where contactsync isn't allowed. This is working as expected. When the device is enrolled in intune it's processing the managed policy and is able to activate the contact sync. Well, what bothers is me is the fact that 3rd party apps like whatsapp are able to see these work contacts. I already read throught this article: Support Tip: Enabling Outlook iOS Contact Sync with iOS12 MDM Controls I tried to add the following to my app configuration for outlook, but it isn't working: (mentioned here: docs.ms ) com.microsoft.outlook.ContactSync.AddressAllowed > false com.microsoft.outlook.ContactSync.BirthdayAllowed > false When synchronising some test contacts they still contain adress & birthdate. Any help understanding this problem is highly appreciated. Kind regards, PatrickOutlook for iOS + Caller Identification
Hey folks, i'm struggling at this for years, as you can see in my previus post from 2020. Let me shorten this: Scenario We have iOS Devices with Outlook for iOS installed. The users have many contacts in their EXO Mailboxes When a user gets a call from one of his contacts, the phone number is presented instead of the name (no Caller identification) Approaches I already know this MS articles belonging to Contact Sync. So i've learned that this leads to a running contact sync without the need of an icloud Account. The contacts could be written directly between Outlook for iOS and the native contacts app. (Better than nothing ) The Problem is, that if contact sync is in use ANY App could see these contacts. (Including Whatsapp, etc...) Because of GDPR this is a no-brainer. Many other solutions are using Apple Call-Kit, so that the incoming call is identified (name is shown) just without any need of contacts to be present in the native contact app. I didn't found anything belonging Call-Kit or any other possible solution for this issue, yet. There MUST be any better solutions except syncronizing all the contacts, isn't it? ANY Answer is highly appreciated. (At least the positive ones ) Regards, Patrick!
Intune Kontakte im Arbeitsbereich werden nicht aufgelöst
Hallo, Wir haben das folgende Problem: Wir verwenden Intune für Android, und im Arbeitsbereich habe ich das folgende Phänomen: Wenn die Kontakte von Outlook auf das Handy synchronisiert werden, kann ich alle Kontakte nach Namen durchsuchen, aber wenn mich jemand anruft, sehe ich nur die Telefonnummer. Es gibt keine Namensauflösung. Können Sie mir helfen, wie ich dieses Problem lösen kann? Danke, BenceContact sync
Hi together, i got some questions. We are using Intue for iOS Deployment. Now we can install via CompanyPortal (VPP), CompanyPortal (App-Store) or directly through the App Store. Example Whatsapp. All three Apps can have access to the Contacts. But we dont want to give these Apps access to the Contacts in the Addressbook. How can i set this up? When is a App Managed? If it is from Microsoft, or when its installed over the Company Portal via VPP or over Company Portal via Store? I dont get it. I think i can resolve the problem here but it will not work for me. Has someone advice?
iOS Device Restriction Settings - Enable Outlook to save managed contacts to device
Hello guys, I am struggling with a specific use-case: I would like to allow users to save Outlook contacts (company email == company contacts) to the native iOS contacts app. Outlook is a managed app and is available to all users. Now I am not quite sure based on the recent blog and the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/device-restrictions-ios#app-store-doc-viewing-gaming how to configure it properly without allowing un-managed apps (like WhatsApp) so see or sync the managed contacts that were synced from Outlook to the native contacts app. Especially the official documentation is a bit confusing. On the setting Viewing non-corporate documents in corporate apps it states that it blocks "viewing non-corporate documents in unmanaged apps". Which does not make sense from my point of view. Instead it should be "prevents viewing corporate documents in unmanaged apps" or am I missing something? Just to rephrase my use-case and what I want to achieve, for better understanding: I want to log-in in Outlook with my work account and sync my business contacts to the native iOS contacts app. However, I want to prevent unmanaged apps to be able to see or sync the business contacts. Currently I have the device restriction profile configured as follows: https://i.redd.it/9hrib77ikwf21.png Thank you for your help!
