Microsoft is Developing Outlook Web App for Android

Microsoft has announced they’re working on a proper Outlook Web App (OWA) for Android. Via a blog post announcing several other feautures, Microsoft suggests the new app with similar design to their Outlook web app.

It’s a nice option for those who want similar functionality to their desktop, and likely a seamless experience for those who use the web app.This is the right direction as what the company previously confirmed that they will continue support for all operating system platforms. Previously, Microsoft has released the Outlook app for iOS users.

It’s the first move toward Android for Microsoft since their new CEO took over, and one that’s welcomed by many users. Though Microsoft wasn’t forthcoming with details on what an Android app would bring to the table, we hope it’s as nicely put together as the iOS app. The Apple-y version allows for all things Outlook, like calendar and notes.

If Microsoft builds a well-tuned OWA for Android, the company can expect more users to toward their service. This also has important, necessary enterprise implications, as many companies still use Microsoft solutions to power their offices.

Before Outlook application for Android launches, you can use some alternatives like CloudMagic.

Microsoft is Removing Support for Facebook and Google Chat from Outlook

Microsoft recently notified to Outlook users that they will be discontinuing support for both Google Chat and Facebook Messenger. That means that those users will only have support for Skype for chat, audio and video calling.

Microsoft doesn’t explain why it has decided to end Facebook Chat integration. For Google Talk, however, Microsoft blames it on “Google’s decision to discontinue the chat protocol used by the Google Talk platform.”

Further the company asked users to try Skype for chat apart from video calling, “We understand that this may disappoint some of our customers, but we hope that you’ll try Skype for Outlook.com chat, and voice and video calling, so you can take advantage of the more robust ways to keep in touch with friends and family.”

“This update will not impact the connection to your Facebook and/or Google accounts, which means your People page will stay updated with the latest contact information from the services you’ve connected.

We’re confident that Skype for Outlook.com provides the best experience for chatting and making voice or video calls, right from your inbox, when the conversation warrants richer communication than an email exchange.”,the email said.

Thus, now if the users use Outlook.com on web platform and want to chat with a friend, then they are only supported by the ability to log into their Skype account.

As announced by Microsoft, the elimination of support for Facebook and Google Chat in Outlook.com will be applied in the coming weeks.
