Outlook.com now supports groups, making it easier to share files, emails, and group calendars. The feature allows users to create a shared distribution list that gives people access to shared content.

The new feature is rolling out worldwide, and the Outlook team expects it to be available to all users by the end of August 2019. The blog post outlining the new feature (via OnMSFT) also adds that the ability to create groups from mobile devices should be available in the Fall of 2019.

The new feature is only rolling out to Outlook.com. Outlook 365 already has support for groups in the form of Office 365 Groups.
