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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
My work around was to open teams.microsoft.com in a browser. The work around about app refresh did not work for me.
I believe this is a bug in the Macbook app for teams. It maybe there for other desktop apps as well.
The above worked for me temporarily. Give it a day and let us know if it stays fixed. I hope this is fixed for you, though!
@JeffSEGRA is right.
Tried turning off background app refresh on iPhone, launched Teams and locked the phone. While being active on desktop, it stayed on Available. FINALLY! This has been a very annoying issue. Thanks!
I am not that familiar with Team
Turn off background app refresh on your iphone
Interesting. Will this prevent notifications or calls from coming to my phone's app?
