Windows 10: Use Groups in Outlook mobile app; Outlook Groups app is retiring

Brink · Feb 8, 2018

Last April, we introduced native support for Office 365 Groups in the Outlook mobile app. We’ve been improving the group experiences in the Outlook mobile app ever since, and today we’re pleased to share some new ways to get more done with Office 365 Groups right from Outlook.

In the next few months, we’ll be bringing you the ability to access all files that are stored in groups’ document libraries inside the Outlook mobile app.

We’ll also be bringing roaming favorites so you can pin groups, folders, and more to your navigation pane for easier access across Outlook in all your devices.

These enhancements complement the work we’ve been doing over the past nine months inside the Outlook mobile app, including group creation and editing, which shipped late last year, as well as the ability you see your groups’ recent files, which we introduced earlier this year. This work is a part of our continuing efforts to advance Microsoft 365 as the universal toolkit for teamwork and complements similar investments that we’re making in Teams and Yammer.

By embedding groups functionality into the Outlook mobile app, we’re investing in group experiences to make teamwork effortless, while removing the need to install and use a separate app. Office 365 customers who are using the standalone Outlook Groups app should make plans to transition away in the next few months. In mid-March 2018, the app will be removed from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Microsoft Store. Then, the app will stop working on May 1, 2018. Between mid-March and May 1, users that have the app may continue using it, but after May 1, the app will not function.

For more details about the retirement of the app, please refer to this article. If you are an admin and received a notice today in the Office 365 Message Center, it means one or more people in your organization are using the Outlook Groups app. If you didn’t receive a notice in Message Center, you don’t need to take any action.

Thank you to those of you who used the Outlook Groups app over the years. Your feedback has helped to shape the Groups experience in Outlook—and helps us understand many other ways we can improve Groups experiences across Office 365. Please keep the suggestions flowing over in our UserVoice site.

Not getting an option to send emails to Groups in People app on Windows 10

Are there plans to have groups allowed in the MS people app. I have used groups in outlook extensively and it is a pain to have to switch to outlook every time I want to send to one of my groups, now that I have switched to the windows 10 mail app.

How to sync contacts groups from Outlook 2013 and Outlook.com with Windows 10 Mobile Contacts/People app?

Hello,

I syncronized contacts and groups across 3 "platforms"

1. Outlook 2013 on Windows 10 computer.

2. Outlook.com (through web page on computer)

3. Windows Phone 8.1 (Contact Groups)

I updated my phone to Windows 10. Right now contact groups are synchronized only in Outlook.com and Outlook 2013 (exchange account after outlook com migration), but I lost sync with my phone.

How to synchronize contact groups with Windows 10 Mobile phone? I use Contacts/People Microsoft app.
