Dialer contacts sync outlook

omegaorgun

Just moved from CalyxOS, I was able to sync accounts and the contacts from the outlook app to the CalyxOS dialer/contacts app.

In Graphene I only have the option of device or Google. I might be missing something but looking for some help.

Thanks.

Maybe you need to add access and/or enable account sync.

First outlook should have access to the contacts permission

Settings > apps > all apps > outlook > permissions > make sure contacts is allowed

Then check if the account is syncing to contacts.

Settings > Passwords and accounts > outlook > account sync > turn on contacts

Hi, I am having the exact same isssue. The advised settings are on the phone, but no synch between Outlook contacts and native contacts app on the phone.

I am using Pixel 7 Pro + latest GrapheneOS. Outlook is running in a sandbox (I think) as I have Google Play running in sandbox.

Please advise...

Best regards

If Outlook has the ability to export a .vcf file do that and import the .vcf to the Contacts app via it's settings.

Now this was from last August but having trawled the old [Matrix] Rooms:

<David:telegram> I figured it out. I'm an idiot. I thought it was a limitation in Grapheme, but I just needed to enable contact and calendar sync in Outlook itself, not in the settings app like I thought.

I have Outlook 365 contacts syncing with GrapheneOS and happy to share the solution as it was not straight forward.

Install Outlook App on GraphenOS
Go to Search in Outlook App
Find any existing contact inside Outlook App and tab "Edit"

Next, GrapheneOS will ask to enable permissions, you grant all that will be requested.

If everything is done correctly, in about 5-10 minutes contacts will sync be become accessible inside native Contacts app in GrapheneOS.

You will also find contact sync account appear in the Settings > Password and Accounts > Outlook

Hi Kate,

You saved my life, it is synching right now. I would never have figured this out by my selves.

Many thanks,
Etienne
