iPhone Outlook calender widget

Has anyone gotten the Outlook calender widget to work?

If so, how?

Microsoft prepares to go all in on iOS14 for Microsoft 365

If Apple announced the public release of iOS 14 earlier this week, Microsoft is keen to provide details about its suite of Office apps that are fully prepared for the new software update. Here’s a look at everything you need to know about all the changes introduced in the latest update. First...

Have you opened the app since it was updated? With OneDrive i couldnt add the widget until after i had opened the OneDrive app.

I still seem to only have the old Outlook calendar widget that never worked.

 

[mjohansen]

Yeah I've tried that (and also checked that I have the latest version of the app) - no luck unfortunately.

Mine updated yesterday but still only shows the old style widget for the today view. Presumably we havent had an update to the app that includes the new widget.

Outlook (new or old) isn't even on my widget list...

To view the old widget you have to go to the Today view, click Edit at the bottom of the list then scroll down again and go to Customise which gives you the old widgets you can add to this screen. If after clicking Edit you press the + sign top right it only gives the option for new widgets. Outlook is still an old widget so displays in the old way.

I’m actually checking updates every hour like crazy for this LOL.
Really waiting for that update with the widget. It seems they only have released the updated version with iOS14 widget of OneDrive (a silly widget for pictures, not files... whatever).
Pretty excited for Outlook: the widget, the new complications for Watch...

Come on MS! We need it ?

To be honest the OneDrive one is ok for me, i back up all my phone photos to OneDrive and clear them off my phone so the apple photos widget is useless for me but the OneDrive one actually does show old photos.

A new Outlook update has just came out!!!!!
But... it hasn't any new widget ? just regular maintenance update.

Lame

Looks like there's a new widget included with today's Outlook app update (version 4.60.0).

 

[Luis0180]

Yes! But...
it's just a Today, not a whole calendar.
And it's weird my phone and apps are in Spanish but the widget just shows in English

 

[mjohansen]

English only for me as well. But it gets the job done for me

Very disappointed in this, it can only show today? And if I have nothing today but a bunch of stuff in the next week it’s just a big blank white square!

It can show some things tomorrow as well if they are essentially coming up next and not that far into the future (perhaps in the next 12-16 hours or so).

Seems like that aspect of it works pretty much the same as the old widget always worked.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic but does anyone else have a problem with the Help & Feedback screen in Outlook? I no longer have contact support or FAQ section there, so there's no way to contact them. Thank you!

Seems like it's mostly account based and can depend on the type of account you have, it's subscription, etc.

Thanks for responding. Just had a long online chat with a great Microsoft tech rep and he thinks it's an iOS beta 14.2 issue.

Unfortunately it's something that I've seen with my account even before iOS 14, while using another account on another device (with the latest Outlook app version and all that) feedback and related options are still there.
