Windows 10: Microsoft 365 is ready for new Apple systems

Brink · Sep 15, 2020

Appleâs new operating systems open the door for Microsoft to deliver more capabilities that help Microsoft customers achieve more and bring the best of Microsoft 365 to their preferred devices. These updates make it easier and faster to access the apps you use every day, create and share great content and personalize your experience in a secure way. Microsoft continues to invest in solutions that feel at home across the ecosystem of devices as Microsoft customers continue to adopt Apple products for their personal productivity and business needs in the modern workplace and at home.

At home with your preferred apps on Apple devices

iOS and iPadOS 14 bring a new Apple App Library that will automatically organizes your apps. Now imagine setting apps you use every day such as your email and browser from Microsoft as the default apps. When you update your iOS device to the new Apple system, you will be able to choose Outlook and Edge as default apps. This way, you can personalize your experience to stay connected and organized in one app for your email and calendar, and when opening links to the web, you can get the privacy and productivity you expect from Microsoft while you browse.

Personalization of your mobile experience helps you stay in control. Microsoft Outlook and OneDrive are ready to give you the option to add widgets to your iOS and iPad home screen once the new operating system is available and you update your OS. With the flexibility to pick your widget size and location, you can stay on top of what matters at a glance with an Outlook Calendar widget to see whatâs next in your day with your work, school and personal account. When using OneDrive with your personal account, you can see your photo memories from the On This Day feature, highlighting photos taken on this day across previous years. If you don't have any On This Day photos for today, you'll see your most recent photos that you've saved to the cloud.

If your iPhone is in your pocket and your iPad is on your desk, you can still stay on top of whatâs important to you at a glance on your Apple watch. watchOS 7 enables Outlook to introduce new complication improvement for email and calendar. This way, not only can you choose from either or both email or calendar complications, but the calendar complication will now include an indication of your free or busy status based on the color youâve chosen for your Outlook Calendar color as well as the email complication will display how many unready messages you have in your Outlook Focused Inbox.

Compose and share your creations

With iPadOS 14, Apple Pencil and Outlook, users will be able to write their emails and their handwritten message will be converted to text automatically with Scribble. You can add hand drawn illustrations or diagrams to your emails for added color and context, or you can use the Pencil to write your keyword Search or fill in the text fields to quickly schedule a meeting. Outlook also supports rich formatting on iPad so once your handwriting is converted to text, you can add additional structure and dimension to your email communications â just touch the symbol with the pencil above your keyboard to view formatting options. Together with Outlook, the iPad has gone beyond being used solely for data consumption through reading, viewing and browsing but increasingly ideal for content creation and sharing.

With iPadOS, you can use Appleâs Multitasking feature to open two apps at the same time. This means that you can open Outlook and Edge to copy and drag text and links to your email, helping you create and send compelling and informative emails. Microsoft is pleased to now introduce the ability to drag and drop files and photos into Outlook. For example you can open your Photos app at the same time as Outlook for iOS on iPad to drag and drop a selection of pictures as email attachments, such as receipts to be emailed to your expense management solution.

Drag and drop images from OneDrive to Outlook on iPad

If you want to select multiple documents from OneDrive, iCloud or another storage location and add them to your emails, just have Outlook open at the same time as the app with your files and drag and drop it into location and the files will be added as attachments to the email. Access permissions to Microsoft 365 files are assigned by your organization and will be automatically applied to further protect your data.

This fall, OneDrive will be able to support offline editing of your Office files. You will be able to download your Word, Excel or PowerPoint files on your iPhone or iPad so that when youâre offline, you can open and edit them in Office or the relevant iPad app. Rolling out in September, OneDrive introduces the new Home experience which brings your most recently used files, shared libraries as well as offline files together regardless if you last accessed them on your mobile device, PC or mac.

New capabilities are coming to Big Sur and OneDrive on macOS. Soon OneDrive will support automatic renaming files and folders that may contain invalid characters or errors.

Be sure to join us at Microsoft Ignite 2020 on September 23rd. Weâre looking forward to sharing more news about the new Outlook for Mac and more.

Across the Apple ecosystem of devices, Microsoft 365 uses the new capabilities from the Apple systems to connect you to the apps, files and experiences that are relevant to you so you can easily create and share.

Microsoft is committed to delivering the best Microsoft 365 to customers who choose Apple devices for their business and personal use. When the new systems from Apple start to roll out, Microsoft is ready with updated experiences to help you feel at home on your device of choice and drive your productivity, helping your organize your day and stay on top of whatâs important to you in a secure way.

Microsoft Releases Office 365 Home Premium

Microsoft Corp. today announced worldwide availability of Office 365 Home Premium, a reinvention of the company's flagship Office product line for consumers. Office 365 Home Premium is a cloud service designed for busy households and people juggling ever-increasing work and family responsibilities.

The new offering includes the latest and most complete set of Office applications; works across up to five devices, including Windows tablets, PCs and Macs; and comes with extra SkyDrive storage and Skype calling -- all for US$99.99 for an annual subscription, the equivalent of US$8.34 per month.

"Today's launch of Office 365 Home Premium marks the next big step in Microsoft's transformation to a devices and services business," said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. "This is so much more than just another release of Office. This is Office reinvented as a consumer cloud service with all the full-featured Office applications people know and love, together with impressive new cloud and social benefits."

Microsoft also announced it will now deliver many new features and services to the cloud first, transforming the company's traditional three-year release cycle. Now, new features and services stream to subscribers as soon as they are ready, keeping subscribers always up to date while eliminating the hassles of upgrading.

"This is a major leap forward," said Kurt DelBene , president of the Microsoft Office Division. "People's needs change rapidly, and Office 365 Home Premium will change with them."

Simultaneously, Microsoft today released Office 365 University for college or university students, faculty and staff at a price of just US$79.99 for a four-year subscription -- the equivalent of US$1.67 per month. Globally, the company also released updated versions of the traditional Office suite: Office Home and Student 2013, Office Home and Business 2013 and Office Professional 2013. Office 365 for businesses will be released globally with new capabilities on Feb. 27.

Time to Do the Things You Want
In a recent global survey, nearly 60 percent of people said they don't have the time to do the things they want to do, and more than 80 percent said they could save one or more hours a day if they were better organized. Office 365 Home Premium is designed to help people be more productive from virtually anywhere and find the flexibility to do the things they want.

"Between kids and career, I'm never completely at home or completely at work -- and thanks to technology, that suits me just fine," said Jen Singer , an author, blogger and mom of two teen boys. "With Office 365 Home Premium, I can work around my kids' schedules, so I can drive the soccer carpool, coordinate errands while at a doctor's office and still hit my deadlines at work. And, with one subscription for everyone in my family, it's an absolute steal."

To help people find more time to do the things they want, Microsoft is introducing Time to 365 (http://www.office.com/timeto365), a new crowd-sourced website where people can find and share tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration from around the world. Contributors include experts such as "techorating" pro Janna Robinson (Janna Robinson The Techorator) and everyday working parents who have found ways to simplify their lives. Tips on the site include, for example, an idea for organizing your grocery list with OneNote on your phone, a pointer on how to pick the right-sized TV for your living room, and ways to use Office applications to help plan a child's birthday party.

About Office 365 Home Premium
