This feature is currently available for eligible accounts in English in the United States.
The next feature is the ability to create tasks directly from Outlook emails on Android. You can now create a task if you want to follow up on an email. To create a task from an email, tap on Create a Task from the email menu, edit the task name, and then save it to your task list.
If you are using Outlook on an iOS device, you can now synchronize your contacts from Outlook on the web, Windows, and Mac devices. You can also synchronize your contact subfolders, and assign a category or label to each folder in Outlook.
Outlook for Android now adds the ability to choose a different colored theme for personalization. You can navigate to Settings | Appearance to select a different color other than the traditional blue.
