Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

I am having several problems with my outlook (new) app.

  1. I cannot import .ics files into the app as no calendar is available in the "Upload from file" window. I have verified that Outlook (new) is the default for .ics files.
  2. I cannot sync my Outlook app calendar on my laptop with my Calendar app on my Iphone 10. I get an error message when I try to sync it via Icloud.

PS: I am using a gmail account for my outlook.

Any suggestions?

Best, Finn

    I also can't import *.ics files on Android 14 with the Outlook App.

    If I send the file to my desktop and import it there, it works.

    Seems like both Outlook App for iPhoneOS and Android are broken.

    Try making sure your microsoft 365 account that you want to import to is the DEFAULT account. Go look at accounts under the settings and choose perhaps your microsoft 365 account as the default. Thank go back and try to import the ics file. If that doesn't work, make a different account the default account and try again.

    I READ and still couldn't import it. OMG I can do this 20 years ago. MS Outlook is a big setback.
