Syncing Google Contacts on Android Phone With Outook

Tap the Home icon at the top left in Outlook. Tap the Settings icon at the bottom left. Examine the Contacts section. What is chosen for the default?

What would that do exactly? The contacts are in Outlook on my PC. They are in Outlook for Android, but there are also a huge number of duplicates that somehow got copied from a previous Galaxy phone. Wha I really want is for he Contacts app that's on the Samsung phone (I assume that's Google) to be the same as the Contacts in Outlook on my PC. So that when I edit a contact in Outlook on PC it replicates on the phone app.

I AM trying to sync the Google Contacts app with Outlook. I am NOT using Gmail.

Hi. I'm Brian and I'll try to help.

Are you synching with Google Contacts? Outlook for Windows connects to gmail using IMAP (unless you have a paid subscription to Google Workspace) and IMAP is a mail-only protocol. That means non-mail data like contacts and calendar cannot sync. Thus, you must keep your calendar and contacts on a service that does sync that data, like Outlook.com. If you have an address that ends in @outlook.com, @hotmail.com or another Microsoft domain, add that account to both devices in Outlook and configure the settings to use that account to sync calendar and contacts. Continue to use gmail for email. You should be good to go then.

Have you selected the Google contacts as the default contacts in the Outlook for Android app?
