Microsoft teased a change in design for the iOS version of Outlook last December which was only available for beta testers until now. Since then, iPhone users have been eagerly waiting to get their hands on the redesigned Microsoft Outlook.
The news of the rollout of the new Outlook for iOS design was announced in a tweet by Michael Palermiti, Principal GPM, Microsoft.
Now, the question is, what’s new in this revamped app?
There is an obvious design change – a big blue bar at the top of the screen which is much more visible now. Additionally, Outlook also comes with a few different features, one of which is the new customized swipe actions. This new feature prompt the users to change the swipe actions the first time they try to use them.
The redesigned version includes support for avatars making identifying senders and recipients easier than before. The app will also show your calendar inline with a message, and that means you can now use the appointment setting with much more ease.
But that’s not the end of it. There’s more to come as Microsoft confirmed a dark mode for Outlook in the development stage. Although there’s still time for that, it’s still something to look forward to. Until then, we’ll take it one step at a time.
