Outlook adds ‘Suggested times’ feature for Android smartphone users

In the recent version update of Outlook on Android, the “Suggested times” function has been added to help users arrange meetings properly. This feature was discovered by the foreign media WindowsBlogItalia in the latest 4.2111.2 version, but this version has not yet been seen in the Google Play store.

At the Ignite conference held last month, Microsoft announced that it would launch the “Suggested times” feature for all business and educational users. It is designed to make it easier for users to find the best meeting time for everyone.

This feature uses artificial intelligence to check the availability of invited meeting participants and then suggests different time periods. These suggestions are made in consideration of the existing commitments, preferences, and priorities of the meeting host.

If the people in the meeting cannot participate in the meeting, the app will also help them reschedule their previous promises.

Microsoft explained: “If Outlook cannot find a suitable schedule for everyone, it will advise your attendees to have free time. You may move or skip another event to adapt. If you decide to schedule the meeting on another promise And Outlook will assist you in rescheduling the conflicting time.”

The new “Suggested times” accessibility feature is a welcome addition to those who struggle to find the right time to work with colleagues. It should help avoid conflicts when scheduling meetings with multiple participants.
