Easily Sync Outlook Calendar with iPhone (2023)

How happy are you with your current calendar system? Gmail may be the preferred calendar for many, but what about the group of iPhone users who like to use Outlook? We'll explain how to sync your Outlook calendar with your iPhone, so you can be more efficient with your time management. 

Options to Sync iPhone Outlook Calendar

If you want to add your Outlook calendar to your iPhone, there are two ways to do so. One option is to download the free Microsoft Outlook app from the App Store to manage your email, calendar, and notes on your iPhone. The other option is to sync your Outlook calendar to your iPhone's calendar app. While it comes down to personal preference, I strongly recommend the second option. This allows you to merge your calendar with other synced accounts so that you have all your saved meetings and appointments in one place. I find this to be far more efficient than checking and keeping track of individual calendars on your iPhone. Below, we'll show you how to sync your Outlook calendar with your iPhone's calendar app.
