Why is my "Notify when available" missing when I click on a user in Teams?

This is what is missing from a user we support.

Hello WilliamHicks6,

The Notify when available feature is not available in the new Teams. Currently, you will need to select a user’s avatar or profile photo anywhere in new Teams to quickly get an overview of their online status, next available calendar slot in Outlook, work hours, local time, or work location either remote or in office.

Thanks,

    I think this option of "Notify when available" was deactivated perhaps from GDPR reasons also. I know, these GDPR rules are mainly active in Europe, but in perspective I know they will be applied somehow in all countries.
    To explain more of these, it can be a thing about privacy and security policy. Because some persons could not to agree with being spied from others. Especially when they are in a big company / corporate and anyone in that company can see when it is available or not, and in some situation take (negative) advantage of that. I think you understand what I mean.
