Still Unable to Sync iPhone Contacts with Outlook?

To sync your iPhone contacts with Outlook, you’ll need the Outlook mobile app on your iPhone and add the outlook account to your phone’s mail settings. If still, the contact is not syncing, the reasons could be:

  • Contact Sync Is Off: One reason could be that the contact sync remains off while setting up the Outlook account. So make sure Sync is on for contacts.
  • Lack of Permission to Access Contact Data: Outlook cannot access your contact data unless we allow permission. Make sure to accept permission requests to share contact information while setting up an account.
  • An Incorrect Default Account for Contact Sync: Incorrect account selection can also cause sync issues. So, open the Settings app of your phone and go to Contacts. Now, go to Default Account and choose Outlook or Exchange to set it as your default account.
