How to stop calendar notifications repeating every single minute

Anonymous

I use the Outlook app for android App-version 2.2.19 (225) mainline.

When I have a meeting with a reminder 15 minutes before the meeting, I get a notification - this is OK. I then get a reminder 14 minutes before too - not OK. I then get another reminder 13 minutes before - not OK. This goes on. So unless I take action I get 15 notifications. Like most I have my phone in my pocket. I typically recognize the notification without taking my phone out of my pocket.

At least it should be configurable to have 1 or all 15 notifications. I would think most would like to have one notification per meeting.

Hello Everyone - This post is almost a year old now, and as we noticed some folks reporting this issue recently (July/Aug timeframe), we went back and looked if there is any such known issue or bug on our side, we didn't find any. Then we tried to reproduce it with current and older Android devices using latest Outlook app from the store - we were not able to reproduce it either.

So at this time, if you still see this issue with the latest version of Outlook app on your device, then please contact the in-app support for Outlook. Support gets latest logs from your device when you use in-app support, which helps in investigation of an issue. See instructions in this article: Get in-app help for Outlook for iOS and Android - We do want to investigate this issue for a possible fix, but we can only do that if you report it thru in-app support and then work with our Support team. Thank you! (post updated on 8/16/2018)

    Just replying to make a stronger point.

    i have the exact same issue on my Redmi 5 Plus

    please take this bug up in your priority list, it is unbearable, and the longer this happens the more user you lose to the competion.. so do us all a favour and investigate this propperly.

    i would love to provide more info needed from your side, so just give us instructions on how to help, and not letting us tell you that we did our job trying to resolve it on our own, it clearly is not a user caused issue.

    thank you!

    I permanently deleted the app. Thanks for lack of support. This is ridiculous. You should have this problem on your phone and then you will realize how annoying it is.

    Might as well chime in, have the same issue, OnePlus 5T Oxygen 5.0.4, it's clearly not the phone. It seems to do it only when there is a notification time set, does not do it when the calendar event is set to No reminder.

    Shows up on my Garmin simultaneously. Yes a pain.

    Same problem here.

    I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 that did this. I just upgraded to a Galaxy S9 and it's doing the same thing.

    App version: 2.2.121 (253) mainlineProd

    OS version: Android 8.0.0

    It's mostly a problem because my Pebble smartwatch vibrates every time the notification is updated, unless I open up my phone and manually dismiss the notification. Please just send one reminder notification that shows what time the event is scheduled. Don't keep updating the notification with how many minutes are left.
