How to Connect Outlook calendar with iPhone calendar

In case you have recently upgraded to a new iPhone and want to sync it with Outlook we have few solutions for you:

Option 1 – Native Software

Initial option is to use iTunes or iCloud. Those are iPhone native applications that allow you to sync media and Outlook data with your device. iTunes and iCloud are really great with syncing data related to media but when it comes to Outlook data, these applications might not be something you need. Because iTunes doesn’t work with Outlook notes, sometimes freezes while syncing large portions of data and have issues with transferring past calendar events, this might not be your best choise.

With iCloud things are better but still not that great. The biggest problem of this solution is that it pushes people to download and store their personal data (such as business schedule) on 3rd party software where there no control over how this data is collected and used.

Option 2 – 3rd Party Solution

The second method of syncing Outlook calendar with iPhone is AkruoSync.This is a great application if you have many events on your calendars and want to transfer not only upcoming events, but even past events and appointments. This feature is great especially if you have important data in your past Outlook calendar events and want all of it to be transferred to the iPhone calendar.

Unlike iTunes, AkrutoSync can sync all present and past events automatically. This means you don’t have to press any buttons when you have some changes in calendar on one of your devices and want to sync them with another one. Everything goes behind the scene and all your Outlook calendar data will be properly synced with iPhone calendar without storing even a byte of your data on 3rd party Cloud servers. With this feature you can be sure no data could be stolen or compromised. The syncing process is also enhanced with using SSL certificate as an additional data protection layer that prevents your data from being intercepted during the syncing process.

Hope this guide will help you sync Outlook calendar with iPhone calendar without spending time on choosing the best syncing options.
