- On the next page, you’ll see a list of email services that the Gmail app supports. Tap Exchange and Office 365.

Note: Make sure Gmail can access your contacts and calendar. You can check this by going to Settings > Apps (Applications) > Permissions and toggle the Contacts switch to on to green.
Sync Outlook Contacts With iPhone
iPhones usually do a good job of syncing and updating contacts across apps and devices. This isn’t always the case though, especially where there are incorrect permission settings or general software issues like bugs that stop Outlook from syncing with your phone.
You can sync Outlook contacts on iPhone using Settings, iTunes, iCloud, via email, by importing as vCards, or through Exchange.
Using Settings
- Open Settings and tap Outlook > Contacts.

- Connect your iPhone to your PC, and open iTunes.
- Tap the iPhone icon and go to Settings > Info.
- Tap the Sync Contacts with checkbox and select Outlook from the list.

- Tap Apply.
Via Email
