Issue: Iphone Outlook Not Syncing  

Usually, the Exchange server allows you to sync all your data with your PC or smartphone. Microsoft Exchange offers many different features to keep your data safe. In addition, the Microsoft Exchange server added a technology called Exchange ActiveSync in late 2003. Using this technology, you can prevent your data from deletion, duplication, or corruption, and you can use it to sync the Outlook data with any smartphone. The Exchange ActiveSync technology is compatible with Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 and also with iPhone.

Now, if you encounter the issue of iPhone Outlook not syncing, first, you need to identify the problem and then perform the necessary solutions.

• If you encounter this issue for the first time, then again try to sync your Outlook account with iPhone.
• If the sync issue persists, then try to sync your Outlook server with another smartphone device.
• If the sync issue doesn’t occur on the other device, then the problem is with your iPhone.
• Some new iOS updates might cause a variety of problems. So, if you have updated your iOS recently, then downgrade to the previous version and check if the issue is resolved.
