Hi!

Outlook for iOS supports Google accounts. Simply enter your Gmail and password, and it will add them automatically.

The gmail account is a business account. When I added it initially the emails did not populate even though the account was added.

When you enter your email, doesn't a login window open using OAuth? Outlook probably didn't identify it as a Google Account, only a regular IMAP account.

The account probably wasn't added correctly, since the emails weren't synchronized.

Since your email is a business email, I need to know: can other people log into their Google accounts on Outlook iOS as well?

It's important to contact your IT administrator, as there may be restrictions on third-party apps, or you may need an additional step.

One step that may help is to check if the email is linked to iPhone Settings, under Email Accounts.

Open your iPhone's Settings > Look for the Accounts, Accounts & Sync, or similar option > Find your mail account > Check if it was recognized as a Google account, a standard IMAP account, or if it wasn't recognized at all. Remove and add your Google account through this setting, and then try logging into Outlook with it.

The account on iOS is recognized as a google account and signed in using OAuth. I was able to sign in on outlook desktop on windows because of OAuth. Issue is that I am not being prompted with OAuth when adding account to iOS.

Did you try the steps I mentioned? Removing the account from Mail Account on iOS?

Answer 2

To sign in to a Google (Gmail/Google Workspace) work account in Outlook for iOS when the Google OAuth option is not obvious, use the account-add flow that exposes the Google sign-in screen:

Open Outlook for iOS and go to the main inbox view.
Tap the Account icon in the upper-left corner (three horizontal lines or the house icon).
At the bottom of the left pane, tap the Settings gear icon.
Tap Add Account > Add an Email account.
Enter the full work Gmail address and continue.
If Outlook does not automatically recognize it as a Google account, look for a Not ______? link at the bottom center or top right of the setup screen.
Tap that link and then tap the Google icon.
Outlook will now open the Google OAuth sign-in page where the work Gmail credentials and any required 2‑step verification code can be entered.

If 2‑step verification is enabled on the Google account, Outlook for iOS supports it; after selecting the Google option, the Google 2‑step verification flow will appear so the code can be entered.
