Dear @John Evans,

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulty signing in to Outlook on your iPhone. I understand how important it is to access your email smoothly, especially on a new device.

Based on the error message indicating that cookies are disabled, this issue is typically related to browser privacy settings on the device. Outlook sign-in relies on cookies to complete authentication successfully.

In this case, kindly try these steps below and check if it works:

1. Update Safari privacy settings

  • Go to Settings > Safari
  • Turn OFF “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” (temporarily for testing)

Untitled

2. Disable any content blockers (if enabled)

  • In Settings > Safari, check for Extensions
  • Temporarily disable any ad blockers or privacy tools

3. Use Safari instead of DuckDuckGo

  • Some privacy-focused browsers (such as DuckDuckGo) may block the cookies required for Outlook sign-in
  • Please try signing in again using Safari

4. Clear Safari browsing data

  • Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
  • Then retry signing in

Untitled

5. Restart the Outlook app

  • Close the Outlook app completely
  • Reopen it and attempt to sign in again

I hope this helps! Please feel free to reply below if you have any update or further concern.  

Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated. Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day!
