New Groups Features Coming in the Outlook Mobile App; Outlook Groups App will be Retired

February 9, 2018 - We’re pleased to announce that we're focusing our efforts on expanding Groups functionality in the Outlook mobile app.

Because of this new focus, we've decided to retire the standalone Outlook Groups app later this year. You can keep using it until May 1, 2018, but you can already find and collaborate with all your groups inside the Outlook mobile app. See "use groups in the Outlook mobile app" to get started.

All of your existing group memberships and functionality will continue to work in Outlook on the web, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2016 for Mac, and any other Office application.

Groups is an important part of making teamwork effortless inside Outlook and Office. These changes are part of both our continued efforts to refine Microsoft 365 as the universal toolkit for teamwork and the investments we’re making in Microsoft Teams and Yammer.

New Feature: Office 365 Groups Support in Outlook for Mac, iOS, and Android

April 18, 2017 - We’re pleased to announce Office 365 Groups are now rolling out for Outlook for Mac, iOS, and Android. This adds to our previous releases for Outlook for Windows and the web, letting you get work done in groups no matter what platform you use. You’ll begin seeing this new feature in the following days.

How Does This Affect Me?

With these updates you can:

  • View a list of your groups
