This will enable you to organize work and personal emails, contacts, and calendars together in one app so it is easier for you to stay connected to what matters. Today we are pleased to announce support for iCloud accounts in the new Outlook for Mac. So, thank you to each and every one of you who have shared your experiences with us. We continue to learn how customers want to use our products through continued feedback. Microsoft says this feature will start rolling out today: This means you can now add your Apple iCloud account to Outlook and keep it alongside your other accounts. Microsoft is also making a notable change to Outlook for Mac today, bringing support for iCloud accounts for the first time. This means that now our core flagship Office apps-Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote-will run faster and take full advantage of the performance improvements on new Macs, making you even more productive on the latest MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. We are excited to announce that starting today we are releasing new versions of many of our Microsoft 365 for Mac apps that run natively on Macs with M1. The Office apps are Universal, which means they also continue to run with the latest updates and features on Intel Macs as well. Microsoft says users should notice major performance improvements when using the Office apps on M1 Macs.

The apps have also been redesigned with macOS Big Sur in mind, and more.

With updates rolling out today, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for the Mac are all now optimized for Apple Silicon. Microsoft has made a variety of major announcements for Office 365 users on the Mac.
