Missing Categories in Microsoft To Do Apps: Any Updates?

Hello everyone,

I've been using the Microsoft To Do app and wanted to discuss an issue regarding the category/tag functionality in task lists. Recently, Microsoft introduced an update allowing the addition of customizable tags to each task within a list. I have successfully configured and assigned these categories via the web interface using a browser.

However, I noticed that the categories/tags assigned through the web do not appear in the Microsoft To Do apps for Android, iOS, and Microsoft Store. This makes it challenging to find specific tasks when using these apps.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there any update on when this functionality will be synchronized with the mobile and Microsoft Store apps?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Same problem! I can see the category in Outlook's To-Do, but not in the To-Do desktop app.

    Same.  It is getting increasingly frustrating to work with tasks, when the experience is different depending on whether you're in Teams, or in Planner, or in Outlook, or in the To-Do app, or in the browser.

    I’m wondering the same thing. Did you ever get your answer resolved? Hope so!

      nothing yet. only through the browser. If you get any information let me know. I believe that the App team has not updated the applications.
