I have recently received Microsoft Teams access as part of my Office pack.
I noticed that with the mobile app logged in, the status is constantly showing "Available" even when i am not active.
This means anyone looking for me would believe that i am available.
Is there no way to set it to show as away or at least a separate status that states "mobile" when we are not active on the desktop App of teams?
It is highly annoying to have to amend the status manually.

Not to necro a dead thread, but I've got this exact same problem and it's infuriating. At this point I'm considering uninstalling the Teams mobile app altogether. It's a right pain in the posterior and I don't understand why such a simple feature is not yet available.
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.
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
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.
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?
