As noted by The Verge, Microsoft is bringing the latest Outlook design to all users. The biggest change is a shift from the all-white design in the previous iOS app to one that uses a bold blue header as seen above.

Microsoft hasn’t updated its images on the iTunes iOS app listing for Outlook yet, but the company previously told The Verge that the new design brings some unity to its mobile apps and brand. Download microsoft autoupdate mac 2008.

Outlook for iOS is free download from the App Store.
