Why is the Play My Emails Feature in the Outlook email app for iPhone being retired in June 2024?

I use this application on my phone for work on a daily basis. We’re often on the go without access to a computer with windows 11 installed.

Is there a plan to replace/upgrade this feature in the app?

The first time I heard about this was on 5/24/23, less than a week before the feature is going to be removed. No other information was provided via the message in the app.

Thank you for your assistance.

    Why being surprised? Apparently the new strategy of Microsoft is to develop very useful tool, get the user used to them, and then remove them without notice.

    I changed job in May2024, when i started my new job in july2024 i just thought it was a safety feature of my new company…. I am soo sad it was very useful when driving!
