Synchronizing your Microsoft Outlook calendar with your iPhone can help you stay organized while you're on the go. You can sync your Outlook calendar with your iPhone at any time using Apple iTunes.
Steps
Open Settings. Tap the app icon that looks like some gears to do so.
Tap Calendar. It's usually in the fifth grouping of menu options next to an icon of a calendar.Advertisement
Tap Accounts. This is usually under the "Siri & Search" menu option.[1]
Tap Add Account. You'll see under the "Accounts" header and below all the accounts you have added to your iPhone.[2]- If you already have your Outlook account added, tap it and then tap the switch next to "Calendars" to toggle it on.
Tap Outlook.com and sign into your Outlook account. This is usually the last option in the menu.[3]- If prompted, give permission for the app to sync your iPhone's data.
Tap the switch next to "Calendars" to toggle it on. A green switch means the feature is enabled and the calendars from your Outlook account will sync to your iPhone's Calendar app.[4]

Download and install iCloud on your computer. You won't need to download this if you're using a Mac; instead, go to System Preferences > iCloud. iCloud can be effective at helping you manage and update information across all iOS devices that are synced with Outlook.[5]
Verify that your iPhone has iCloud enabled. You can do this by navigating to Settings > Your Name > iCloud and tapping the switch next to "iCloud" to toggle it on. Make sure the box next to "Calendars" is checked so Outlook can sync with your iPhone's calendar.
Open and log in using iCloud on your computer. When it's done downloading and installing on your Windows computer, log in.[6]- If you're using a Mac, click the Apple icon and select System Preferences > iCloud.
Make sure the Outlook account is selected. This assumes that you've already added the account to be included as a calendar. If you're trying to add the account, follow the steps for using your iPhone's Settings.
Click Apply. It's in the lower right corner of the iCloud window and will begin syncing your Outlook account (if it wasn't checked before).

Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable. iTunes will automatically launch upon recognizing your device.[7]- This method will only work on Windows computers, so if you're using a Mac, try using iCloud or [[|iPhone Settings.
Click the name of your iPhone in the left sidebar of iTunes. You should see all the information for your iPhone, including a new menu on the left.
Click Info. It's next to a circled "i" on the left side of the window.
Click the box next to “Sync calendars with,” then select “Outlook.” You should see all your different Outlook calendars in the table.
Select either “All calendars” or “Selected calendars." Selecting the “All calendars” option will sync Outlook with all the calendars on your iPhone, whereas choosing “Selected calendars” will allow you to select one or more calendars you want synced on your iPhone.[8]
Click Apply. iTunes will start syncing Outlook with your iPhone.
Disconnect your iPhone from your computer once syncing is complete. Outlook will now be synced with your iPhone.[9]- For iTunes syncing to work, you'll need to disable iCloud. You can disable iCloud by going to Settings > Your Name > iCloud. From there, you can tap the switch next to "Calendars" to turn off syncing.
