(Recommended/Supported) How to install Outlook and Office apps on iOS devices

(Not Recommended/Not Supported) iPhone: How to Setup Exchange/Office 365 Mail Account

    This is not recommended because instead of using Outlook, you're using the iPhone's built-in Mail application, setting it up as an Exchange email account. If you're an Android user, using its built-in Mail application is also not recommended, and not supported. While this is overall fine for general use, there are some features in Outlook that will not be available here, causing an inconsistent user experience. This is why we recommend the top video, over this one. We just provided this video as an extra option. Please know that IT will not support the built-in Apple iOS/Android Mail application.
