"Hi guys, as the title says, my Outlook contacts won't sync to my Android phone. I have a Sony Xperia XZ Premium with the latest available update. Today I had to add a large list of contacts to my address book, so I added them to Outlook online since that was easiest. The contacts have synced to my computer but not my phone... Any help would be greatly appreciated."
