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.

    Hello. I use the "play my emails" feature in Outlook Mobile on a daily basis to listen to my emails during my commute. It saves me 1-2 hours per day and helps me keep up on my email. It is a very useful feature and I am disappointed to hear that it will be discontinued. What plans does Microsoft have to replace this feature in Outlook Mobile? Thanks.

    I was really disappointed to discover the Play my emails feature had been discontinued. Like many others, i use this daily on my commute to keep on top of my emails. This saves me a couple hours a day! For me this is a major backward step. MS, please provide a replacement soon! Thank you

    This is a terrible decision by Microsoft. I used this feature twice a day while driving. Best way for me to keep up on all my emails. Please bring back this feature.
