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.

    Are you kidding me, getting rid of the single most valuable feature of outlook mobile?

    No feature or app ever saves me an hour or more of time per day other than this feature. I would pay hundreds of dollars per month to keep it alive.

    Until you get the copilot really work, please keep this feature!!!!

    Agree this feature saves me 4-5 hours per week. It is really hard to see it go and there doesn't seem to be a suitable replacement on the market.

    I also use this feature frequently and I don't know how I will survive work with out it. This seems like a huge accessibility failure.
