Editing Contacts/People on Iphone and Ipad

The reply you are looking for is that it can not be done.

Why these morons send you off to read an entire article to answer a simple question is beyond me. Until more features are added to outlook for iOS you have to go to your office account on-line (ie, visit the website) and edit your contacts with a web browser.

The easier method is to add your microsoft account to the built in contacts app, then edit it from there.

It's a pretty half baked system for sure....

I have the the Outlook mobile application on my iPhone and cannot edit, add or delete contacts. When I go to the url you mention above (https://people.live.com) it converts it to the Outlook mobile app address and only gives me the option to open the app.

PLEASE advise how to edit Outlook contacts on an iPhone - preferably through the Outlook mobile app. Thank you.

I access Outlook.com on my PC through the browser and through the Outlook.c= 

om app on my IPhone and IPad.  I have no problem adding or editing contacts on the PC but how do I add a new contact or edit an existing one when using the app on the iPhone or IPad?

Hi Jess,
