Body:

Earlier this year, we introduced a new mobile app called Outlook Groups that lets you engage with your team on your mobile device. Available for Windows Phone, iOS and Android, the Outlook Groups app enables you to have conversations, view and edit files stored in SharePoint, access a shared OneNote notebook, @mention colleagues and groups and even discover other relevant groups. Download the Outlook Groups app and learn more in this article about how to get the most out of the experience.

Since the launch of Outlook Groups, we’ve received great feedback from our customers. Today we’re happy to announce several new features in the app as well as support for several languages in addition to English.

The new features include the ability to:

  • Create new Office 365 Groups.
  • Add and remove members and owners of existing groups.
  • View a person’s profile card—including contact information, where they fit within the organization and their list of Group memberships.

In addition, Outlook Groups now supports the following languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Russian, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional, with more coming soon.

Going forward we will continue to improve the experience, such as calendaring in Outlook Groups. Please keep your input coming as we continue to improve the Outlook Groups app.
