Microsoft Outlook web app coming to iPhone, iPad


Users of Apple's iPhone and iPad devices may now use Outlook Web App, after Microsoft released a native app for the platform.

Steve Chew, a senior product marketing manager in the Exchange technical marketing team, said the user must be subscribed to Office 365 to use the software.

"Our goal is to help our customers remain productive anytime, anywhere.  This includes providing a great email experience on smartphones and tablets," he said in a blog post.

He said OWA for iPhone and iPad offer the same email, calendar and contact functionality a user gets in Outlook Web App on the browser.

But these apps also offer additional capabilities "that are only possible through native integration of the app with mobile devices," he added.

Chew said a subscription to Office 365 that includes the latest update of Exchange Online is required to use the app.

Meanwhile, Microsoft said voice input is only available in English (AU, CA, GB, IN, and US) for now.

It added the app must be running on the device for it to be wiped remotely. — TJD, GMA News
