Microsoft Teams Status - Desktop and Mobile

A possible solution to this problem would be to add a mobile status option that essentially defers to, or matches the PC's status.

Then MS Teams would not have to guess what the user wants their status to be while in this mode. When the user steps away from their computer, their status will appear idle or away, but not offline. And when they shut down all their desktop instances (as for the day or weekend) they should then appear offline (although still able to receive messages on their phone).

Note that a user's phone activity does not indicate their availability in the same way that their PC activity does. There is a reason one of the options is "Appear offline". I personally don't want to broadcast that I can be reached. But I also don't want to appear offline when I come into work Monday morning (although it can be good for my personal productivity, :) ).

Adding this option would at least solve this problem for me. Thanks.

Umm I have a question when I go to find my cousin to chat with him he’s on a laptop and I’m on a iPad I can’t find him his is also in French too and mines not?

My status indication changes on desktop, tablet & mobile regardless of which device I make the change on. So as long as I remember to update it my current status is accurate & all can see it.

When closing down at the end of my shift I set it to "Appear Off Line" & then when I log in at the start of my shift I set "Available" & that shows to all that I am at work. It then follows however I set it during the shift & if in a meeting it shows "Busy" so I do not have problems.

I seem to have found a solution! I have just set my laptop status to offline and this is reflected in the phone app also. Happy with that

Exactly my situation, I don´t want the phone app to alter my status, don´t want to change it manually either every day.

Also thinking about uninstalling it from the phone, the cons are way higher than the pros, sadly.
