Microsoft planner for ios help

If your organization uses Microsoft Planner, you can keep up with your plans on-the-go with Planner for iOS.

In Planner for iOS, you can do most of the things you can do in Planner for web, with a slightly different look and feel. There are a few things you can currently only do in the browser, and one thing you can only do from your device: add photos using your device's camera.

Who can use Planner for iOS?

People who have a Microsoft 365 work or school subscription. Unfortunately, you can't use Planner with a Microsoft 365 personal (for example: name@outlook.com or name@hotmail.com) or government subscription.

People with iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. You can use Planner for iOS on any iOS 9.0 or later device. However, it will look and operate best on the iPhone and iPad.
