Send Availability feature removed from Outlook for iOS?

I have been making regular use of the "Send Availability" feature in the Outlook app for iOS. Recently though, I can't seem to access this. Previously, there was a 'Calendar' button above the keyboard when replying to emails, which allowed easy selection of free timeslots in my Calendar. When I tap the Calendar button now, it just tries to create an event.

Hoping that I am missing something, rather than the feature having been removed?

    I thought it was gone, but on my outlook for iOS (v 4.2408.1) you can send availability using the icon above the keyboard that is a person with a small tick

    OMG! It is back! Just made my day. Thanks for letting us know. Of course, not sure why they wouldn't use the same icon. The new one is not intuitive, but it's fine. Not complaining.

    They just changed the icon! It’s one to the right. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Thanks! The usual problem with forums like this. Miles of complaints where the one useful post is buried somewhere in the middle of it. The initial reply with a "solution" was not sending availability, but sending a meeting invite. Not the same thing. For anyone else still looking for it... it's here:
