How to Fix Cannot Hide Flagged Email Tab in Microsoft To Do on iPhone
Question details
The user is unable to hide the Flagged email tab in the Microsoft To Do app on iOS devices for a personal account because the corresponding setting is missing.
- Product
- Microsoft To Do
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Customizing the task list view by hiding the Flagged email tab on an iPhone or iPad using a personal Microsoft account.
- Observed behavior
- The Flagged email tab remains visible on the iOS app, but the toggle to turn it off is absent under Connected apps. The tab does not appear on Windows or the web interface.
Verify that your Microsoft To Do app is updated to the latest version in the App Store and ensure you know whether you are logged into a personal or work account.
Sign Out and Isolate the Affected Account
Signing out of all accounts and signing back in with only the affected personal account can refresh app settings and potentially reveal missing toggles.
Sometimes, running multiple accounts (like a work and personal account simultaneously) causes interface glitches on iOS, hiding specific settings.
Open Microsoft To Do on your iPhone or iPad and tap your profile picture at the top of the screen.
Navigate to the 'Manage Accounts' section and sign out of every account currently logged into the app.
Log back into the app using only the personal account that is experiencing the issue.
Go to Settings, look for the 'Connected apps' section, and check if the 'Flagged email' toggle is now visible to turn off.
Reinstall the Microsoft To Do App
Reinstalling the app clears local cached data and forces the application to fetch fresh configuration files from Microsoft servers.
Contact Microsoft Support for iOS Limitations
If troubleshooting fails, the issue is likely a known interface limitation for specific account types on iOS.
Enhance Your Daily Productivity with WPS Office
While waiting for a fix regarding Microsoft To Do account syncing on iOS, consider upgrading your overall document management experience. WPS Office is a free, lightweight, and highly compatible alternative to Microsoft Office, perfect for managing your work and personal documents seamlessly.
- 1. Download the Application: Visit the App Store or official WPS website to download WPS Office for free onto your device.
- 2. Install and Open: Follow the simple on-screen instructions to install and launch the suite.
- 3. Sign In to Sync: Log in with your preferred account to enable seamless document syncing across all your devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Flagged email toggle missing in Microsoft To Do for iOS?
For certain personal accounts on iOS, the option to manage Connected apps like Flagged email may be hidden due to app interface bugs or account-type limitations. It is typically visible and functioning normally on work or enterprise accounts.
Will buying a Microsoft 365 subscription fix the missing Flagged email tab?
Some users report that activating a Microsoft 365 trial forces the Connected apps settings to appear. However, this is considered an inconvenient and costly workaround for a bug that Microsoft Support should resolve for free users.
Can I hide the Flagged email tab using the web version of Microsoft To Do?
Usually, if the tab is missing on the web and Windows versions of Microsoft To Do but appears on iOS, toggling settings on the web interface will not affect the persistent bug on the iOS application. App-specific troubleshooting or updates are required.
