With our latest release, we’re addressing one of our most highly requested features with improvements to our People experience.<\/p>\n You now have the ability to add and edit contacts right from Outlook on iOS and Android. We’ve also completely redesigned the contact card to show more details\u2014including latest conversations and shared files\u2014and enabled easier calling and messaging with your contacts.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a deeper look at what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n With our latest update, you can now add and edit contacts for Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts (support for Google contacts coming soon).<\/p>\n To create a new contact in Outlook, simply go to the People tab and tap the +<\/strong> sign. You can also add a new contact directly from a message or event by tapping the name of a person and then tapping Add Contact<\/strong>. Lastly, you can also use the search bar in the People tab to find and add contacts from your company directory.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve added a contact, you can edit their information by opening the contact and tapping the Edit<\/strong> button.
