Microsoft brings app add-ins to Outlook on Android


Microsoft has done programming tasks, taking notes and responding to emails with fun GIFs in Outlook much easier for Android users with Outlook.com and Office 365 business accounts. It brings third-party add-ons to Google's mobile operating system, some months after the iOS feature was launched, the list of applications that the e-mail client can access has even increased. Just go to Settings, then click Add-ons and press the plus sign next to the apps you want to enable.

In addition to giving you the power to save notes in Trello or Evernote and to translate emails with Microsoft Translator from within the application, Outlook also gives you access to Wrike, JIRA, MeisterTask, Gfycat and MojiLala.

The top three are all software designed for teams and can respond to work emails while on the road or on vacation (not if applicable) much faster. Gfycat and MojiLala, on the other hand, can add color to their responses with reaction GIFs and cute stickers. There is no need to leave Outlook to find the same Keanu you saved years ago.

These new applications will be available in Outlook not only for Android, but also for iOS, Windows, Mac and the Web. As a surprise, Microsoft promises to give you access to all these add-ons if you use your Outlook account with the Gmail application on iOS and Android in the near future.
