Outlook Calendar in MS Office Professional Plus 2016 (version 1803). Hello, this problem has just started (Friday 20/4) ... If I click and drag an appointment (diary entry) to move it on iPhone in iOS Mail app, it turns the appointment into a meeting and wants to send attendees an email. I'm the only attendee as I created what is basically a diary entry (appointment). So I get notifications that a 'meeting' has changed AND I get an email. It's crazy. It's all ok when I use the Office Outlook app on PC so it could be an issue with iOS??? It syncs all the appointments back to Outlook as meetings so I have to clear notifications and emails on PC and iPhone. Please help me to fix this as it's very annoying. Thank you very much....
Scheduling and managing events using Outlook.com calendar
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I can confim that I have been suffering from this bug during the last month exactly in the same way as described above. I contacted MS support to no avail after many tests. I have a case number open related to this issue.
Gabriel, Thank you for your work on this. I shall check back in with Outlook 2016 on PC next week to see where we are. I'm sure others who have contributed to this thread shall do the same and feedback. There have been issues with the Edge/Windows 10 Mail app but this has been few and far between and maybe because the original 'event' was created in Outlook 2016 on PC. Thank you again, AJ ...
Hi,
I started to experience the same issue from about the same time (April 2018).
I use Outlook as a desktop client (from Office 365 Business Premium) on Windows 10 (1803).
I also use iOS devices - iPad and iPhone 8 both running iOS 11.3.
I use both Outlook and the built-in calendar on iOS, and the issue affects both, in slightly different ways.
On the Outlook desktop client, I have a few mailboxes synching, including an Office 365 one. But it is only the calendar of my Outlook.com mailboax that has the following symptoms.
a) I create an appointment (not a meeting) on Outlook on the desktop
b) If I subsequently try to amend it on iOS, I get:
i) On Outlook on iOS, I am unable to amend the appintment, as it appears to be a meeting arranged by someone else (the organiser is my outlook.com email address)
ii) On the iOS calendar, I can edit it, but it sends a meeting update from my outlook.com email address to my Outlook.com email address.
On both iOS calendar clients, the meeting shows my outllok.com email address as the meeting organiser, and as an additional participant.
It has only started happening recently, and only affects Outlook.com appointments.
This article appears to describe something very similar:

I hope this can be resolved.

As I read this it seems to be exactly the same issue as my original post. Definitely an Outlook/Outlook.com issue. Thank you for your confirmation and input Gbyars
Hi all,
Just wanted to update that the root cause of the issue has been determined and the Outlook.com team is working on a change that will address the issue. Due to the nature of the change it will probably take a couple weeks for it to deploy and propagate through the service. This is all still being worked so if you have support cases opened about this it may take time for us to get engineers fully updated with status but this is what we know for now. I know this has taken a while to get traction on and apologize for the delay.
