Microsoft Ignite starts next week, but you don't need to wait until then for some Outlook-related news.

Outlook is getting several new features and enhancements on Apple's iPhone and iPad. Both platforms are popular among Microsoft's users and could always use improvements, the latest of which Microsoft says will arrive in the coming weeks.

Let's start with the iPhone. Outlook on iOS will enable Do Not Disturb. Whether you want to turn off notifications for a day or an entire weekend, Outlook will let you choose a customized schedule to receive them. Microsoft also says inking will expand to Office Lens in the Outlook app for annotating images. Discover, meanwhile, acts as a feed of folders and documents to be quickly viewed or edited.

LinkedIn, too, finds itself with deeper integration after this update. Outlook and LinkedIn accounts can be linked to identify potential connections.

iPad owners finally get Split View support. Outlook's inbox and calendar can be separated into their own windows for better multitasking. The iPadOS version of Outlook also introduces drag-and-drop support. Text and links can be transferred from a web browser and into an email draft with either your finger or a stylus.

Also, Microsoft confirmed it's rolling out support for the Apple Watch. WatchOS will display Outlook complications to show unread emails and meeting details in addition to a standalone app with complete information. Notifications, too, will appear on your wrist as they appear.

Outlook's new features are due out on iOS and iPadOS in the coming weeks, and the Apple Watch app should be available today.
