Before switching to the Outlook app, you should check to see if you have Contacts or Calendar items on your device and not in Office 365.  

Contacts

2. Tap Contacts
3. Tap Accounts
4. Tap Add Account

14. Choose contacts to sync your contacts with your iOS account
15. Tap Save

Calendar

Verify that any events you added to your calendar via your iPhone are on the correct calendar.  They should be on your O365 calendar and not the iPhone calendar.   Otherwise, you won't see them when you use the calendar in Outlook. 

If you lost contact information due to changing to the Outlook app, see the Contacts section below for steps to reconnect.

iOS 14 or higher

3. Tap Accounts.
4. Tap your Office365 account.

iOS 13 or older

The Outlook app is no longer available for download for iOS 13 or older. To access your university email on your device, follow the below instructions to remove the account from the default mail app, then update your device to iOS 14 or higher, and follow the above instructions to set up Outlook mobile.  If you have an older iPhone, you may not be able to update to the latest iOS so you won't be able to use Outlook mobile.

Note: While older versions of Outlook already installed will still work on devices running older iOS versions, these devices will not get new app updates. Users can expect a degraded experience of the Outlook for iOS app over time if they do not stay up to date.  Microsoft only supports the two most recent OS release versions.
