No options to register Microsoft account under Settings' Acccounts

[jamesbob]

Hi All and Samsung Team,

I realised that there isn't any options to easily register hotmail account within Settings - Accounts and Backup - Manage Accounts.

Is there any restrictions in doing so?

Because I bypass this by adding hotmail account via Gmail apps, only then I am able to manage hotmail accounts from the above Settings steps.

When u add account is there a option for outlook?

[jamesbob]

No , either.. only Google and Samsung options are shown

I believe u will need to have Outlook or Microsoft apps installed to have that option shown. 

Which model are you using?

[jamesbob]

Oh.. if that is the case, then probably make sense. Because the hotmail accounts appear in the settings after I added it via Gmail apps.

Btw, I am using tab s8+.. I can't remember whether i faced this issue on my s21 ultra when I set it up last year. Or maybe I had downloaded outlook apps back then before creating hotmail aacts

I see.. glad it help clears any doubts.... in my add account its such a long list
