Microsoft is consolidating several consumer services to deliver innovative features in future product releases. As a result, contact synchronization is no longer supported for third-party social media and external email networks connected to your Microsoft account. Third-party social media and external email networks affected by this change include LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, and Sina Weibo.

You can add and maintain contacts that were created using a Microsoft account. These contacts may have been created through Outlook.com or Skype.

If you connected third-party social media or external email network accounts to a Microsoft account through the People web app, contact synchronization will stop. Third-party social media or external email network contacts will not be visible in contact lists on Outlook.com or OneDrive.

Contacts in your social media and email networks are not affected by this change. To maintain contacts in your social media or email networks, use the native apps for those services.

This article explains how these changes will impact your connected Microsoft apps and services.
