I noticed a few days ago my Outlook calendar was no longer syncing on my phone. In the Outlook app I went into settings, selected my account and noticed 'Sync calendars' was off. I turned it back on and syncing resumed. However, that setting keeps getting turned off on its own, I can't keep calendar syncing enabled!

    I am too experiencing the 'sync calendar' functionality being turned off by itself.

    Causing my entire 365 calendar to be deleted from my Samsung calendar.

    oh, oops. My issue was the outlook app turning off the calendar for some reason. Contacts stayed on; permissions stayed on. Sorry my own genius plan doesn't work for you :-(

    The problem is the "sync calendar" setting keeps getting turned off by a bug in the code. You turn it on, something turns it off. It is random but happens often enough to be extremely frustrating.

    I FINALLY found how to fix this problem! Go into the Outlook365 app on Samsung Android phone. It will take wherever you have Outlook365 set to open (mine is email), press calendar button at the bottom of screen to go to Outlook365 calendar. Next press Outlook365 icon at the top left of screen, which will list your Outlook365 calendar and maybe your workplace acct. or birthdays, etc. if you put those in. PRESS SETTINGS AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN. In mail accounts press Outlook365, which opens a screen that shows sync calendars as OFF. Obviously, switch to ON, and when you resync your Samsung calendar it will have your Outlook365 calendar back and synced!

    FYI I received this message from Microsoft support today:

    This issue is resolved now but it will take a week or two until fix gets pushed to a new version and I advise you to keep your app up to date.
